problems and radioed the information to the Police substation

volunteers detected two crimes in progress, and in both cases
arrests were made. There was no cost to the City of Arcadia;
the time and equipment were volunteered. Mayor Gilb

Councilmember Fasching suggested the possibility of planning
a barbecue at the Mounted Police Building sometime this summer
for the volunteer group.

Consideration of assessment for property clean up at 527

1992, the City contracted with Duke's Landscaping Service to

property, and find them to be inadequate. Are there any

statutes authorizing reconsideration or a motion to

decision tonight, there is no longer any administrative
remedies?". The City Attorney answered, "No. The
administrative remedies are over with and concluded. The City
does not have any more that are established by ordinance".
Julie McCov, 1225 Rancho Road, stated, in part, that she is
present to discuss the parking problems of residents who live
near the race track on Santa Rosa Road. The street parking
is restricted to one hour, making it very inconvenient for the
residents. She inquired whether those residents could secure
some sort of resident parking sticker which would enable them
to park for a longer period of time. This would not affect
any other parking regulations, including the over night
parking restrictions. She presented a petition signed by
eighteen of the Santa Rosa Road residents. Mayor Gilb noted
that the parking restrictions had been imposed at the request
of those residents some time ago when there was a night club
at the Westerner on Colorado Place. At the request of the
residents, the curb was painted red. However, Mayor Gilb
stated that the Chief of Police had observed this area
recently, and since the race track parking is not so heavy at
this time, some of the parking signs have been covered so
there will be no limits on the parking.

CITY MANAGER
Santa Anita Fashion Park Mall, owned jointly by the Hahn
CompanyjUrban Projects, Inc. ; and Santa Anita Realty
Enterprises, Inc., has requested financial assistance from the
City on the proposed 430,000 sq. ft. expansion of the Mall.
Certain technical legal questions about the types of possible
bond issues, the role and risk to the City (if any) of the
respective bond issues, tax-exemption matters, and other tax
related concerns have arisen which require specialized legal
review by a bond counsel and tax firm. The bond counsel
responses to the Request for Proposal have been reviewed by
the City Attorney and Finance Director. Based upon their
comments, review of the proposals, reference checks and cost,
staff recommends that the City Council select the firm of
Brown & Wood. There will be no costs to the City unless and
until there is a bond issue. The City must agree to use Brown
& Wood as bond counsel on such an issue if in fact the City
issues bonds. If it does not, there will be no cost for the
service. Estimated costs for the two types of bond issues
(only one of which would probably be used) are Certificate of
Participation $30,000, Community Facilities District (Mello
Roos) $40,000 plus out of pocket expenses (estimated $3,000).
This cost could be paid out of the bond sale proceeds at the
time of the bond sale. By contracting for these legal
services,' the Council is not committing at this time to any
course of action or financial assistance to the Mall. This
contract will merely assist staff in analyzing the Mall's
reques t .
Councilmember Fasching remarked that he is impressed with the
staff report and the direction the City is taking in this
matter, and thinks they are right on line.
It was MOVED by Councilmember Fasching, seconded by
Councilmember Ciraulo and CARRIED on roll call vote as follows
that City Council SELECT the firm of Brown & Wood to analyze
certain legal and tax questions related to possible financial
assistance to the Santa Anita Fashion Park Mall and to serve
as bond counsel if the City elects in the future to issue'
bonds, subject to execution by Brown & Wood of an Agreement
approved by the City Attorney.

to a maximum size of 6 1/8" x 11 1/2" can be mailed at the
regular postage rate of 29 cents per item for first class mail
and 24.8 cents for pre-sorted mail. Councilmember Fasching

there will be continuing advantages with the use of this new

MAYOR GILB ANNOUNCED THAT COUNCIL IS WAIVING PROCEDURAL
ORDINANCE IN ORDER TO HEAR REMARKS FROM U. S. CONGRESSMAN
DAVID DREIER REPRESENTING THE 22ND DISTRICT.
I
David Dreier. Congressman, U. S. House of Representatives,
representing the 28th District, stated, in part, that he was
present to introduce himself and some of his staff members to
the Mayor and City Councilmembers. He is pleased to represent
Arcadia in the United States Congress. When the California
Supreme Court certifies the reapportionment plan next week,
he will represent the eastern part of the San Gabriel Valley,
starting in East Pasadena and extending to his home area of
Claremont, right through the San Gabriel Valley, including
Arcadia, Monrovia, Temple City, Sierra Madre and on to the
communities he has previously represented of Duarte, Bradbury.
Azusa, Glendora, La Verne, San Dimas,. Claremont, North Pomona,
Covina, West Covina and Walnut. He is pleased with the way
his district has been worked out. He carries regards from
Congressman Carlos Moorhead, who has represented Arcadia over
the past decade. He continued that his priorities include
bringing a job creation package with tax incentives. Next
week President Bush will be delivering the State of the Union
address. He will include proposals for economic growth.
Congressman Dreier hopes Congress will address a crime bill.
Also of concern to communities is the third party liability
legislation with regard to toxic wastes, which he is trying
to introduce. Congressman Dreier feels that the most
responsive level of government is the local level, and he has
a great respect for the Councilmembers. It is rewarding and
a challenge to try to meet the needs of the people.
Congressman Dreier then introduced members of his staff
present in the audience
Mayor Gilb called Congressman Dreier's attention to some of
the local problems, 1. e., transportation and the construc t i on
of the Blue Line; acquiring the right of way from Santa Fe
Railroad; what the government will do about health care; and
Social Security and the "notch kids". Congressman Dreier
responded that health care is a critical issue. This is also I
to be addressed in the President's State of the Union message.
Congressman Dreier has introduced and will continue to push
what he calls Health Bank lRAs -- retirement accounts which
will allow persons to withdraw from those accounts tax
deductible dollars which will be utilized for the purchase of
health care and health care insurance, because it seems that
it is necessary to move in the direction of privatization.
He mentioned some things that can be done to it}crease the
efficiency of the nation's health care. In reply to a
question from Mayor Gilb, Congressman Dreier said money
withdrawn at retirement from IRA accounts could go to health
care with a tax credit. Congressman Dreier also stated that
it is essential to move ahead with mass transit, especially
to serve the community of Arcadia and beyond, by moving ahead
with the Blue Line. This will bring with it ancillary

MATTERS FROM STAFF

MATTERS FROM ELECTED OFFICIALS
Stated that the nomination period for two City Council seats
and one City Clerk position opened January 16, 1992. To date,
three people have taken out papers for the Council seats, and
one for the City Clerk.
With regard to the transportation issue and the Blue Line,
cost overruns, driver or driverless cars, the local Pasadena -
Arcadia line, and the controversy over the Santa Fe right of
way, it will probably be 12 - 14 years before the Blue Line
will be operational. In the meantime, and in the interest of
transporting people and easing the congestion on the streets,
he wonders why a commuter train could not be developed to run
through Arcadia and Pasadena and then to downtown Los Angeles
using the existing Santa Fe right of way. Stations could be
built along that route. This could be accomplished probably
in eighteen months or so. He has brought this idea up at

transportation meetings, but everyone seems to be interested
only in the Blue Line.
Noted that idea had been talked about previously. She has no
idea why it was discarded. It seems logical to her, also.
That had been the original plan; but somewhere it got
sidetracked. This is actually what is being done along the
Pomona Freeway corridor, using the Union Pacific tracks.
Pasadena would have to agree to such a project.
A commuter line would save a great deal of money in a period
of time when there is not much available.
Stated that at the last League of California Cities meeting
a representative was to be selected from the AQMD Board
because the term of Henry Morgan had expired. Since no
candidate received a majority vote, this will be taken up
again at the upcoming meeting.
At 8:22 p. m., the meeting ADJOURNED to 7:00 p. m., Tuesday,
February 4, 1992, in the Conference Room of the Council
Chambers to conduct the business of the Council and Agency
and any CLOSED SESSION necessary to discuss personnel,
litigation and evaluation of properties.
