AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION
Mayor Young read a statement that, "Festival Santa Anita cannot
be discussed by the City Council at tonight's open meeting
because it is not on the agenda as required by the Brown Act.
Further, consent with the purpose of the Brown Act, many who may
wish to discuss the above may not be here ~ecause it was not
agendized. A full follow-up report regarding the Festival will
be prepared by the City staff for presentation to the City
Council and the public. This report is currently under
preparation by the Police Department, the City's Project Manger
and the noise consultant. Relevant data and information will be
documented as part of the report. This is part of the
experimental pilot program established to assure future decision
making on facts rather than speculation. Pending the final
report, and its placement on the agenda, those who may address

the City Council during oral communication need to be advised
that no action or discussion can occur at this time. However,
pending completion of the documented report, the issue shall be
agendized and discussion can occur. This may help some of you
tonight if you are here for that subject."
Ben Serar, 400 San Luis Rey Road, stated, in part, that he is
present to report that the noise levels at the Festival Santa
Anita were too high, and that in spite of his complaints, the
volume was not lowered. He noticed several police vehicles in the
area who were monitoring the sound. He had telephoned the
Arcadia Police Department, and Mr. Goodrich at his home. Mr.
Goodrich later returned his call. He telephoned the
Councilmembers, but only heard answering machines. Apparently
the noise consultant was unavailable on Saturday. Additional I
noise was caused by an airplane flying an advertising banner for
Festival Santa Anita. He would like to receive a copy of the
final report, if possible. He requested information from the City
Attorney regarding the process needed to revoke the Santa Anita
permits.
MATTERS FROM ELECTED OFFICIALS
Mayor Young stated that she had received a letter from Senator
Newton Russell in response to Council's contact with him
regarding landfills. He is aware of the Arcadia/El Monte
findings, and he will keep this in mind when it is brought up on
the Senate floor.
Mayor Young stated that the Sanitation District and the County
Public Works Department had a household hazardous waste
collection held at Santa Anita in August. Two thousand twenty-
five participants came from the cities of Alhambra, Arcadia,
Bradbury, Baldwin Park, Duarte, EI Monte, Irwindale, Monrovia,
Pasadena, Rosemead, San Gabriel, San Marino, Sierra Madre, and
Temple City. They collected 1,475 gallons of used motor oil,
Il,l51 gallons of used paint, 265 used car batteries, and 291
drums of miscellaneous waste, such as pesticides and pool
chemicals. Over 80% of this material will be recycled with the
remaining 20% either being incinerated or treated at a legal
disposal facility.
Mayor Young inquired of the City Attorney as
on City's liabilities would be available.
responded that it would be available at one

Mayor Young noted that the League of California Cities Selection
Committee is still meeting and trying to elect a representative
to the AQMD from this area. Nell Soto is still a candidate;
Laura Bradley from Monrovia is also running. Mayor Young will
continue to vote for Nell Soto, unless Council decides otherwise.
In response to a question from Councilmember Margett, Mayor Young
agreed that the voting system is flawed in that it is necessary
to have a majority of cities voting for a candidate. It's a
percentage of the population. so it is necessary for a candidate
to have the vote of Long Beach, which is one of the largest
cities, as well as fifty-two other cities. Nell Soto has missed
several times by the vote of only one city. Councilmember
Lojeski noted that there is a possibility that Long Beach may
open nominations again. He feels that would be counterproductive
and encourages Mayor Young to vote a resounding "no" to that
proposal.
I
Mayor Young reminded Council that the League of California Cities
Conference is upcoming. Since the meetings are here in Southern
California, the policy is that the City will not pay for hotel
rooms. She agrees with this policy, with the exception of one
day when there is an early morning meeting for voting. She

requested permission to reserve a hotel room for that preceding
night.
Councilmember Margett MOVED to approve Mayor Young's request for
payment for a hotel room for one night during the League of
California Cities meeting; seconded by Councilmember Kuhn.
AYES: Councilmembers Chang, Kuhn,
NOES: Councilmember Lojeski (He thinks it is inappropriate
because of the closeness of the meeting site, and the time is not
such that the City should pay for a hotel room.)
The City Attorney interrupted the roll call to state that,
according to the Brown Act, Council cannot take action on an item
that is not on the agenda. However, there is time to put this
Matter on an agenda for future action.
Councilmember Margett withdrew the motion, and MOVED that the
item be placed on the agenda for the next Council meeting. Agreed
by general consent.
Councilmember Margett inquired about the City's procedure for
controlling the distribution of unwanted handbills. The City
Attorney reviewed the procedures whereby residents can add their
names to a non-distribution list maintained by the City Clerk.
Then if unwanted handbills are received, complaint can be made
to the Business License Officer, after which direct contact is
made with the company making the distribution. That usually
solves the problem. If it repeats itself, municipal code
enforcement is possible. Councilmember Margett suggested that
a list of people and companies who distribute handbills be
maintained.
Councilmember Margett is concerned about the big increase of
theft and vandalism at businesses in south Arcadia, and inquired
what steps are being taken to control this. The City Manager
responded that the Chief of Police is endeavoring to coordinate
a meeting with the merchants and property owners in the Live Oak
area within the next two weeks to discuss the issues, crime
prevention techniques, and the options available to them to let
us help them and have them help us. Councilmember Margett is
concerned about the City losing merchants because of this
problem; we have already lost one. Perhaps a reward should be
considered to see if that would help curb these violations.
In response to a question from Councilmember Margett, the City
Attorney replied that each year he prepares an auditor's report
of the City's liability experience which is presented to the City
Council. A summary of that report has never been made public.
There is no problem in doing that. The City's liability
experience has been good in the sense of not losing and not
paying out large amounts such as other cities pay. This is partly
attributable to the City Council's business approach. The report
will summarize the last two years of liability experience and
will let the public know how the City tries to control it, and
that we have been able to prevail based on the policies of the
City Council. The public would know where their tax dollars are
going since the City is self insured up to $500,000. The report
will not deal with confidentiality or specific cases, but will
summarize.
Councilmember Margett recalled that a report providing an
overview of the City's insurance practices is also pending. A
consultant had been engaged at one time to prepare such a report
for Council. This report should be reviewed in conjunction with
the previously discussed report from the City Attorney.
Councilmember Margett inquired when the joint School Board/City
Council meeting is to be scheduled. Mayor Young replied the
meeting will take place after school starts. It will probably

be held at the high school.
Councilmember Margett said he would
like to discuss how their construction program is progressing;
if money been saved on the building projects; are they on
schedule? He would like to see this as an agenda item. '
Councilmember Margett referred to the Metro Transit Engineering
Company Report which states that their Company guarantees they
can provide a gain to Los Angeles County taxpayers of over $50
billion, and provide a far better transit system than rail
transit. The City Manager noted that he has not seen that
report. Councilmember Margett requested staff to look into this
system and provide a report.
Mayor Pro tem Chang replied to a constituent named Mrs. Williams
of West Winnie Way, who called him regarding a complaint. He
asked the City Manager to look into the matter, and has learned
that the house in the 500 block is nothing out of the ordinary;
there is nothing the City can do. Mayor Pro tern Chang did not
have a phone number at which to contract Mrs. Williams.
I
Mayor Pro tem Chang stated that his Council name plate had been
stolen or lost today. Staff will order a replacement.
Mayor Pro tem Chang stated, with regard to the proposed joint
meeting of the City Council and the School Board, that his
preference for the site is the Council Chamber, rather than the
School Board room. The Chamber is a better place for such a
meeting because, 1) the City just installed this $200.000 sound
and video equipment. and 2) all meetings with Council should be
open and public. The new sound system will aid this goal. The
meeting should be in the Council Chamber.
Councilmember Lojeski stated that he appreciated the Mayor
bringing the matter of the liability experience report to
Council's attention. He thinks this will be an open, very
knowledgeable and an important key issue for the citizens of the
community.
Councilmember Lojeski noticed in the weekly Council report, a
letter dated 9/1/94 to the Mayor of Berlin-Zehlendorf, Germany
from the Arcadia Sister City Commission. He has a question of
protocol in such a situation. Does this kind of response come
from the Commission? What is the protocol? Mayor Young is
liaison to the Sister City Commission, and explained that a
letter was referred to the Commission by the Los Angeles City
Protocol Officer. The Mayor of Berlin-Zehlendorf had written to
Los Angeles looking for a sister city. The Protocol Officer felt
that Arcadia was more of the size and type of city to fit with
Berlin-Zehlendorf, which is a suburb of Berlin. Officials are
coming to the West Coast, and this is just to make initial
contact with them -- there is no commitment -- they will visit
and talk and let them see Arcadia before any official steps are
taken. Councilmember Lojeski inquired if the Sister City
Commission has permission to expand activities? Mayor Young said
they did not have such permission as yet. There is not a
question of expanding activities at this time.
I
Councilmember Lojeski stated that when the previous Council was
contemplating telecasting the Council meetings, the concept was
also to extend the City's cablecasting facilities in the
community for use of other entities, and other events taking
place in the community. There were also plans to expand this to
an additional commission, which basically would do the monitoring
and processing of requested telecasting of such events.
Councilmember Margett remembered that there had been a whole
package of television communications contemplated. Perhaps there
is some paperwork somewhere in City Hall. The City Manager
suggested this could be an agenda item for a future meeting in
order to bring everyone up to date. Councilmembers Kuhn, Lojeski

and Margett agreed with this suggestion. Councilmember Margett
noted that former Councilmember Fasching had spent a lot of time
working on that project, and no doubt would be glad to share his
files, and bring staff up to date.
Councilmember Loj eski called attention to a booklet, "Arcadia
Recycles Every Day". The return address is Arcadia Community
Education, Inc., a non-profit Corporation of the City Arcadia.
He inquired about this corporation. Staff explained the non-
profit corporation return address was used to obtain a reduced
bulk rate at the post office. Staff further explained that the
City has maintained the status of this corporation over the
years, and reports certain documentation to the State each year.
It is used primarily for the City Newsletter to obtain a cheaper
postage rate.
Councilmember Lojeski has had positive comments and words of
appreciation from many citizens about Nordstrom and the new wing
of stores. The opening ceremonies were very, very impressive.
This showed the class the Santa Anita Fashion Park mall has.
There were no negative comments. The parking lots have been
filled -- all 5800 parking spaces at the mall. Congratulations
to the Real Estate Division of Santa Anita; the Hahn Corporation;
Fashion Park Staff; Diane Naftzer and her entire staff; the
Nordstrom people, as well as the stores in that wing, and the
remodeled stores. Congratulations also to City staff who worked
So closely with them to make such a great addition to this
community.
KUHN Councilmember Kuhn added her congratulations regarding Nordstrom
(Nordstrom and the remodeled shopping center. It is exciting to see the

PUBLIC HEARINGS
Consideration of Zone Change Z-94-001. In May the City received
a petition from Carolyn Papp requesting the City to initiate the
appropriate zone change to annex approximately 218 homes into the
existing Highland Oaks Homeowners' Association. The City Council
at its July 5, 1994 meeting directed staff to proceed with the
proposed zone change. On August 9, 1994 the Planning Commission
reviewed Zone Change Z-94-001 and recommended approval to the
City Council, Four properties located at 307A,B,C and D Foothill
Blvd. have been excluded from the proposed annexation area at the
request of the property owners. In addition, 14 properties
between 1500 to 1538 Highland Oaks Drive (Tract No. 15073) have
existing Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions which may affect
5

their inclusion into the Homeowners Association. The existing
Highland Oaks Homeowners' Association extends north from
Highland Oaks School to the City boundary and east from Santa
Anita Avenue to the easterly City boundary. There are
approximately 633 residences within the association. The
proposed area to be annexed includes the single family zoned
properties bounded by Virginia Avenue on the north, Santa Anita
on the west, Highland Oaks on the east extending to the east end
of Sycamore and to the commercial properties on the south
fronting on Foothill Blvd., excluding the properties located at
307A.B,C & D Foothill Boulevard. All property owners within the
designated area as well as property owners within a 300 foot
radius of this area have been notified of the September 6
meeting. The Highland Oaks Homeowners' Association Board of
Directors voted to approve this annexation which was ratified by
their Association membership at their annual meeting on March 9,
1994. The City Attorney and staff have reviewed the existing C,
C, & R's of the 14 properties located on Highland Oaks Drive.
Pending clarification, it is recommended that the 14 properties
within this tract currently be excluded from the proposed zone
change of the Highland Oaks Homeowners' Association. They may
request annexation at a later date if they are interested.
Inclusion of this area into the Highland Oaks Homeowners'
Association will require a zone change to add a "0" Design
Overlay to the single-family lots within the area. Any
additions or alterations to the exterior of any building on a
property will be subject to the Homeowners' Association
regulations and require approval by the Highland Oaks Homeowners'
Association Architectural Review Board. Also exterior alteration
plans submitted to the City of Arcadia for plan check must have
prior approval from the Homeowners' Association.
Mayor Young declared the public hearing OPEN.
In Opposition
Orman Sartwell, 1501 Highland Oaks Drive, was present to confirm
that his property is not one of those to be included in this zone
change, and he does not have to join the Homeowners' Association.
Staff confirmed that is true.
David Backhaus, 1535 Marendale Lane, stated, in part, that he is
in opposition to this proposal, does not want to see anything
like this go on in Arcadia any more, and urges Council to vote
against it. He does not understand why these people are
requesting this; nor does he understand why it should be
necessary. He feels that such matters can be taken care of by
the Planning Commission. He hopes there is some way to stop
this; and if not, he wants to know how he can be one of those
excluded. In response to questions from Mayor Pro tern Chang, Mr.
Backhaus responded that he had not seen the petition that was
circulated, and he had only recently learned that the Council was
to vote on this matter this evening. The City Attorney responded
to Mr. Backhaus' question about excluding his property by stating
this is not possible. If the Council passes this legislation.
in order to work, it must apply to everyone. The City does not
carve out individual properties for owners who do not wish to be
part of a homeowners' association. The properties excluded have
C, C, & R's under which they are governed. and the properties on
Foothill Blvd. have no access along Sycamore, and are actually
on a private street with access from Foothill Blvd., so logically
they do not fit into this particular area.
Charles Chu, 1400 block of Highland Oaks Drive, stated, in part,
that this zone change will affect all the property owners if they
wish to make any changes to their properties. If he attempts
to install an energy panel in his roof, the Association would say
no. Also, if he wishes to change the color of his house, the
committee would deny it. He should have the freedom to paint his
own house the color he wishes. He objects to this bureaucratic

red tape. He is interested in maintaining the neighborhood, but
he objects to this loss of freedom. He urges Council to vote
against this change. Councilmember Lojeski explained the appeal
process. There have been many instances over the years, when
decisions have been appealed from the Architectural Review Board
of the Homeowners' Association to the Planning Commission and
have been overridden by the Planning Commission. The homeowner
associations do not regulate color of paint or type of
landscaping. In reply to a question from Mayor Pro tem Chang,
Mr. Chu said he had not seen the petition or any proposed
regulations which would govern this particular process. Staff
noted that there are very specific requirements when homeowner
associations are forming regarding the petition and copies of the
resolution to be given to the persons who are signing petitions.
Mayor Young agreed and said that she lives in that area, and the
homeowner association rules and regulations had been explained
in great detail. Their purpose is to keep each neighborhood
compatible with itself. Mr Chu felt that City zoning codes are
sufficient to govern height restrictions, setbacks and side yard
requirements, etcetera. Mr. Chu requests to delete himself from
the homeowner association in this particular instance.
In Favor
CarolYn Pann, 1203 Oakwood Drive, stated, in part, that she had
circulated the petition under discussion this evening and that
she had given each person a copy of the regulations and
guidelines regarding the Homeowners' Association. She allowed
people to read through them and, in some instances, went back
several times to give them more information or additional copies
of the regulations. She feels the Association would be a real
value to the people in the area as well as an asset to the City.
No one else desiring to be heard, the public hearing was CLOSED
on MOTION by Councilmember Lojeski, seconded by Mayor Pro tem
Chang and CARRIED.
I
Councilmember Margett stated, in part, that zoning and ordinances
do not necessarily mean the same thing as architectural review.
In most instances, the review committees approves the requests
from the homeowners; but they do catch the odd situation. They
do not take away an individual's rights to his property. He is
supportive of this measure. Councilmember Kuhn stated, in part,
that she understands the feelings of those who are opposed to
another layer of bureaucracy. It is one thing to buy in knowing
about an association, and it's quite another to feel that it is
forced upon you. However, she commends the job the homeowner
associations do in the City. From a legal standpoint she feels
that she must support this zone change because the majority
rules. Councilmember Lojeski stated, in part, that he has been
part of a homeowners association all the time he has lived in
Arcadia, and has never found it to be too restrictive to a
homeowner's creativity. Frequently we find that the homeowner
associations are helpful intermediaries between the homeowner and
City. They have also been helpful during City Council
deliberations regarding fence heights, roofing materials, etc.
The proposed action this evening has been initiated by the
homeowners, not by the City. He supports it. Mayor Pro tem
Chang stated, in part, that when there is a homeowner
association, everyone gets together and works for the benefit of
the community. He commented at a previous meeting and reiterated
that he feels this issue should have a two- thirds maj ori ty
instead of just 60%. Any major issue should approved by two-
thirds of the population involved. Mayor Young said she has
lived in this City for the past forty-five years; for about
twenty-seven of those years, has lived in a homeowners'
association. Since that time she has lived in part of this lower
Highland Oaks area and not in a homeowner association, and has
really felt a lack. She is also in favor of the zone change.

The City Council, sitting as a Board of Equalization for this
public hearing considered the cost for cleanup and abatement of
the Gidden property located at 130 Bonita Street. On August 3
there was a fire at the rear of the subject property which is
adjacent to the alley between Bonita and California Streets.
During the investigation it was noted that the property was a
fire hazard due to the lack of property maintenance and debris
within the yard. In view of the condition of the property, the
hot weather, its proximity to other structures between two
multiple family projects, and the history of the subject
property, it was determined by the Fire and Community Development
Departments that an emergency existed. On August 5 a "Notice and
Order" from the Fire Department was delivered to the property.
The notice indicated that: "it has been determined by the
Arcadia Fire Department that the combustible storage on the rear
exterior (south) side of your property is in violation of Uniform
Fire Code Section 11.302(a). This storage presents a severe fire
hazard to your property as well as the properties to the east and
west of your lot. Violation of this section also includes
dangerous accumulations of rubbish and unnecessary accumulations
of waste per U.F.C. 2.205." The letter further stated, "If said
fire hazard is not removed immediately, you will be cited
pursuant to Uniform Fire Code 3.101. If the City is required to
remove the fire hazard, you will be responsible for all costs."
On August 8, 1994 an inspection was made and there had been
little evidence of any clean up. On August 9, 1994 the City
contracted with Interstate Field Services, Inc. to remove the
fire debris and hazardous material identified by the Fire
Department, cut weeds and haul all debris to the dump. On August
23, 1994 a "Notice of Equalization of Assessment for General
Property Clean Up" was mailed to Mrs. Gidden, the property owner,
advising her that a hearing has been scheduled for the September
6 meeting for the purpose of "correcting, modifying or
confirming" the costs of the property clean up in the amount of
$1,277.67, including staff time and assessing these costs against
the property.

In response to questions from Councilmember Margett, staff
responded that this property has been a long on-going problem;
the owner has been extremely uncooperative, up to and including
the day of the City ordered clean up. Staff also said that
combustible property, debris and dead vegetation had been removed
from the property; personal property had not been removed.
Councilmember Margett stated that the costs listed for staff time
utilized in resolving this situation were underestimated. He
reiterated that cost accounting methods are required so the City
can be compensated for professional time expended in such
situations.
SPECIAL PRESENTATION
1.
UPPER Robert Berlien, General Manager of the Upper San Gabriel Valley
SAN GABRIEL Municipal Water District (former Water Manager and Assistant City
VALLEY Engineer for the City of Arcadia) was present to outline the
MUNICIPAL "Water Recycle 2000" proposal. The Upper San Gabriel Valley
WATER DISTRICT Municipal Water District' was incorporated in 1960, and is a
"WATER governmental agency. I t covers approximately 144 square miles
RECYCLE of the San Gabriel Valley between Pasadena and Pomona, not
2000" including those two cities. Monterey Park, Alhambra and Azusa are
(Robert members of another water district. The primary functions are to
Berlien) import water and to recharge the ground water basin to augment
D S TO -I, the existing water supply. The District is not a retailer; it
does not sell water directly to anybody, but rather acts as a
middleman wholesaler importing water from outside the Southern
California area. In the District, the San Gabriel Valley uses
about 240,000 acre-feet of water per year or about 700 billion
gallons. Most of it is produced from wells; nature supplies
about 75% through rainfall and runoff water. We are in a
constant state of overdraft since Southern California is a
desert. The deficiency in the San Gabriel Valley amounts to
approximately 60,000 acre-feet per year. This is an amount of
water used that nature does not replace. The Upper SGV Water
District was created to supply that deficiency. The District
also supplies a small amount of treated ground water, primarily
to the City of West Covina. The Upper SGV Municipal Water
District is a member of the Metropolitan Water District of
Southern California, which imports from Northern California
and/or the Colorado River.
Two years ago Southern California ended a seven year drought
which had resul ted in water rationing, surcharges on water bills,
the water supply becoming less reliable and more expensive. The
population of this area is growing. It is expected that the state
population will be 49 million by the year 2020. Water demands
are increasing. The State Water Resources Board projects water
shortages of up to 4 million acre feet a year in the state by the
year 2020. They also project a negative impact on the California
economy and jobs.
We must institute water conservation programs, and find
additional ways to increase the water supply. One means of doing
this is to use reclaimed water by water recycling. Recycled water
is water that comes from homes and businesses in the SGV through
the sewer system. Waste water goes through large pipe lines on
its way down to the ocean. It is collected by the Los Angeles
County Sanitation District at the system treatment plant in
Carson for final treatment before it goes into the ocean. Some
of this sewage flow is diverted to waste water treatment plants,
9
9/6/94
36:0305
recycled water plants, where it is treated and goes through a
scientifically controlled eighteen hour recycling process. This
water could be put to beneficial use instead of being discharged
into the ocean. The recycling is done much as it is in' nature ,
and water from the reclamation plant meets drinking water
standards and is good quality water. The use of
reclaimed/recycled water is controlled by a number of agencies
i.e., the California State Health Department and the Los Angeles
County Regional Board. The primary uses of recycled water
include direct use for landscaping, crops, play grounds, golf
courses, etc. Another use is spreading water on the ground to
let it percolate back under ground and become part of the natural
ground water supply. Before this area was sewered in the 40's
and 50's, that was what happened to all sewage from each house,
it went from the septic tanks and percolated back into the
ground. We are water deficient in this area now because the
sewage is all exported from the area, and we are ending up with
a negative balance in our water supply which must be redressed
by re-using that water which is presently being exported.
I
Recycling water is not a new idea. The Central West Basin uses
50,000 acre-feet of recycled water a year. Health effect studies
have shown no negative impacts. The Orange County Water District
uses a lot of reclaimed water for ground water recharge. The
Santa Ana River is 80-90% reclaimed water from sewage treatment
plants that are upstream. It ends up in Orange County and
percolates into the underground basin, recharges and becomes part
of the ground water supply. State policy is that we increase
the use of recycled water, and has set goals for increased use
of recycled water. The answer to Southern California's water
shortage problem is water recycling. "Water Recycle 2000" does
not intend to build any kind of water treatment plant, but will
utilize the San Jose Creek Water Reclamation Plant. We intend
to build a transfer facility or pipe line and booster pump,
basically from the San Jose Creek Water Reclamation Plant located
at the intersection of the Pomona Freeway and the 605 Freeway,
extend the pipeline along the alignment of the San Gabriel River
and east side of the San Gabriel River alignment to the spreading
grounds at the intersection of the 210 Freeway and the 605
Freeway. That is the area where we normally spread imported
water from Northern California and the Colorado River. They
plan to take this recycled water from the San Jose Creek Water
Reclamation Plant, which has a capacity of about 100 million
gallons a day, 50 million gallons of which is presently being
wasted into the ocean. The other half is being used by the
central basin. We intend to put that surplus water into the
pipeline and pump it back into our basin where we can put it to
beneficial use. We will dump it on the ground, and let it
percolate into the ground, mix with ground water supplies and
become part of our ground water supply. We plan to use about
16,000 acre feet per year on a long term average for that
purpose. Much less than 10% of the basin water supply would be
supplied by recycled water. Before it can get to a production
well or be used for municipal water supply, it has to have been
in the ground at least six months, 500 minimum feet travel
distance, can be no more than 20% of water supply going to any
well, and must comply with all health department and regional
board requirements.
I
The pipe line and pump station will cost about 25 million
dollars. We would expect that this project will pay for itself
by supplying water for less than the cost of imported water. It
should eventually be a self funding project which will have many
benefits such as lower water costs, drought-proof the San Gabriel
Valley, etc. This is the first step toward developing our own
local water supplies which will insulate this area from the
problems with dependence on securing imported water from Northern
California, as well as being environmentally sound.

...
The safety of recycled water is attested to by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Health
Services, Regional Water Quality Control Board, the Los Angeles
Department of Health, the Los Angeles County Medical Association.
They say that if we build this in accordance with the regulations
that they have in effect or propose in the near future, they
support the project and see no adverse health effects,
Environmental groups also support the project. The Upper San
Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District (USGVMWD) Board recently
certified the Environmental Impact Report. They are about two
and one-half years away from having this project go into
operation if the project makes it that far ... these have some
opponents to the project.
Considerable discussion ensued among the Councilmembers who
directed numerous questions to Mr. Berlien regarding the quality
controls, effects of possible future drought conditions, possible
contamination of the water percolating from the spreading basin
to the ground water, the size of the project area, Colorado River
water. In response to a question from Mayor Pro tem Chang
concerning funding for the project, Mr. Berlien said the USGVMWD
has received a grant this year from the Federal Bureau of
Reclamation in the amount of $500,000 for the final design, and
a two million dollar grant is expected next year for
construction, and another two million grant the year after that
for construction. A revenue bond issue is expected to supply the
remaining funds; revenue from future water sales will pay the
debt service on the bonds. In response to a question from
Councilmember Margett, Mr. Berlien said that the Water Master is
bas ically not supporting the use of treated sewage water for
ground water recharge. They may feel that the public is not
ready to support that type of process. There would be much more
support for the project if the reclaimed water was not to be used
for ground water recharge, but just for irrigation, fire
suppression, etc. In response to questions from Mayor Young,
Mr. Berlien explained that the tax which has been placed on the
property tax bills is to raise money for the up-front expenses,
and that the authorization for that charge was contained in the
1911 Municipal Water District Act.

inserted by Attorney Steve Dietsch to preclude any other council
from changing anything decided by this council. The City
Attorney believes that any future council would honor the terms
of the contract, so he has no objection to deleting the following
language. "but in no case less than the highest salary earned by
the City Attorney during any annual period during his tenure with
the City" from the agreement.

The contract between the City and AFSCME represented employees
will expire in June, 1995. As part of the budget process,
Council reviewed two programs for implementation for
miscellaneous employees, one of which was the 2% at 55 retirement
option, and the second the implementation of the 9/80 work
schedule. In accordance with the bargaining process, the City
met with AFSCME and they voted to accept the 2% at 55 retirement
program, and City staff is suggesting that this program be
initiated for AFSCME as well as other miscellaneous City
employees. The second part of this dealt with implementation of
the 9/80 program. In order to comply with the air quality
standards of the State of California, the City Hall staff went
to a 9/80 work week. The AFSCME association requested
consideration of the same schedule. After discussion, it was
determined they could also work within that schedule without any
significant impact upon public service throughout the City,
Details of the Side Letter of Agreement, the 9/80 work schedule
and 2% at 55 retirement plan are set forth in the August 30, 1994
staff report.

The City of Arcadia and the Arcadia Chamber of Commerce have had
a long, cooperative and mutually productive relationship,
However, there has never been a formal agreement between the two
organizations defining the responsibilities and expectations of
their respective efforts to develop and promote Arcadia's
commercial base. The Chamber of Commerce pays $4,800 annually to
lease the City owned facility at 388 W. Huntington Drive, In
addition, the Chamber is paid $50,000 as a City contribution (FY
1994-95) for various services and programs they conduct which
are of particular economic benefit to the community.
I
Councilmember Margett stated that he is supportive of the Arcadia
Chamber of Commerce and thinks they do a fine job. However, he
is concerned about the fact that the Chamber leases the building
at 388 W. Huntington Drive for $4,800 annually. Therefore, the
Chamber is receiving more financial assistance from the City
because of lost rents the City is not receiving on that $600,000
building. The cost accounting aspect here should be looked into.
This is a similar situation to that of the armory building, which
is leased to the School District for $300/month. The Community
Center is rented for $200/evening, which is much too low. The
City Manager stated that the Chamber of Commerce lease is several
years old and is due to expire next year. At that time, Council
will have an opportunity to look at the annual lease payment
amount as well as the payments the Chamber receives. Mayor Young
noted that the $200/evening fee for the Community Center is for
maintenance, not rent.
It was MOVED by Councilmember Lojeski, seconded by Councilmember
Kuhn and CARRIED on roll call vote as follows that the City
Council of the City of Arcadia ENTER INTO an Agreement with the
Arcadia Chamber of Commerce, and AUTHORIZE the Mayor to EXECUTE
the Agreement subject to minor modifications approved by the City
Attorney.
In response to a question from Mayor Pro tem Chang, Mayor Young

Attorney responded that it would not necessarily be a conflict

conflict of interest. Mayor Pro tem Chang said that he has
resigned from the Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors.

(Request for
Financial

CITY MANAGER
The Arcadia Tournament of Roses Association has r~quested
assistance from the City witl, regard to three mailings they would
like to make to Arcadia residents in the near future. This
assistance would be in the way of printing and mailing services
for mailings that would be used to advertise several of their
functions for the remainder of 1994. The Association is
promoting the City of Arcadia through participation in the annual
Tournament of Roses parade in Pasadena with a City of Arcadia
float. The City has had a float in the parade every year since
1915, with the Tournament of Roses Association sponsoring the
float since 1966. The Association, as part of the budget
presentation this year, requested funding from the City in the
amount of $13,250. The last time the Association received City
funds was $3,000 in 1975-76. Because of City budget problems
during this fiscal year, they withdraw their request for funding
in an attempt to help the City balance its 1994-95 budget. Since
that time, the City Manager has had some discussions with the
Tournament President concerning assistance the City might give
to them. The September 6, 1994 staff report presented several
recommendations and options as to how such help with mailings
could be given the Association. Funds for such assistance would
come from the General Fund.
Vince Foley, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and Jack
Teel, member of the Membership Committee, Arcadia Tournament of
Roses Association presented the request of the T of R Association
to the Council, in particular, assistance from the City for three
mailings to publicize four events, and general information on
Tournament of Roses membership.
Considerable discussion ensued among Councilmembers.
Councilmember Lojeski did not want to give the impression that
there might be a blanket commitment which might encourage other
organizations in the City to request financial assistance.
However, this request seems to be unique. Councilmember Margett
said the Tournament of Roses is doing a wonderful job, and he
realizes it must be getting harder each year to raise funds. He
suggested using a distribution contractor to deliver the flyers
to the residences. This would be less expensive than mailing the
flyers. Mr. Foley replied they distribute as many flyers as
possible through organizations and City events such as those
promoted by the Chamber of Commerce and other organizations.
Mayor Pro tem Chang suggested the flyers be inserted into the
City water bills, although there may be a problem of timing
because the Tournament's events will take place between now and
January. Mayor Young was concerned about setting a precedent
which would encourage other organizations to request financial
assistance from the Council. She was also concerned about this
use of funds at a time of budget constraints. Councilmember
Loj eski did not think there was reason for concern about a
precedent. In the past, the City Council has authorized funds
for a number of organizations for a variety of reasons, The City
Attorney said such requests can be granted if they are to be used
for a City public purpose. Mr. Foley pointed out that the
Tournament's activities promote the City of Arcadia. The only
way they can reach all the residents in the City is with the help
of the City, because the City can use the postal resident mailing
which will not only reach all the citizens, but will be cheaper
than a regular mailing. Councilmember Loj eski proposed two
residential mailings between now and January, to exclude
businesses, and at a cost of approximately $7,500 - $7,800,
Councilmember Kuhn did not think this to be a proper use of
taxpayer money. There are a number of options available to the
Council and the Tournament. It was the consensus of Council that
the City Manager and Tournament staff will explore these options,
try to find the necessary funds, and put the matter on the agenda
for the September 20th City Council meeting for a final decision.
