The Los Angeles County Parks and Recreation Department
notified staff that they are cancelling their carnival at
Arcadia Park because of the recent crisis situation in South
Central Los Angeles. Another date will be requested later on.
The Sister City Commission requests Council's approval of
their proposed brochure. The cost to produce the brochure is
estimated at $200, which will be paid for out of their FY
1991-92 budget. It was the consensus of Council to approve
the brochure and this expenditure. Councilman Lojeski noted
that they undoubtedly will need additional funds next fiscal
year since events are planned for the Koala Band visit after
Christmas.
Newly appointed Planning Commissioner Edward Huang requests
that he be provided with Planning Commissioner business cards.
It WaS the consensus of Council that this request not be
granted since each Commissioner is presented with a pin and
an official identification card which would serve the same
purpose.
Request received from Mike Ferguson on behalf of the Santa
Anita Little League for the installation of stadium lighting
at Eisenhower Park. Mr. Ferguson will address Council at the
regular meeting this evening. Councilman Lojeski spoke with
Mr. Ferguson earlier and suggested that Santa Anita Little
League secure a secondary playing field. Also, he suggested
that Mr. Ferguson talk with the Recreation Director at the
conclusion of the meeting for help with this situation.
The City Manager requested a Closed Session at the conclusion
of this meeting.

Council briefly discussed the appointment to the Recreation
Commission. The City Attorney stated the Brown Act prohibits
discussion of appointments to Boards and Commissions in closed
session. Mayor Fasching noted the appointment to the Planning
Commission had been discussed in an adjourned regular meeting
and the actual appointment made at the following regular
meeting.
At 7:18 p.m. Council entered a CLOSED SESSION, ADJOURNED AND
RECONVENED the Regular Adjourned Meeting at 7:22 p.m.
The discussion opened up again in connection with the
appointment to the Recreation Commission. Several names were
considered: Don Kennedy, Patrick Gibson, Marian Travisano and
Bob Ruiz. There was general agreement that this was a
difficult appointment because of all the worthy applicants.
Marian Travisano was determined to be the choice at this time.
The question of enlarging this Commission to allow for greater
citizen involvement was mentioned. This could be a discussion
item at the May 12 Study Session.

Staff suggested that Councilman Ciraulo cast Arcadia's vote
against the delegate from Norwalk at the League's forthcoming
meeting since the person from Norwalk is pushing the Transit
Light Rail Line project for his area ahead of the project in
Arcadia's area. This could put Arcadia back as much as 20
years, according to the City Manager. No suggestions were
given as to who Councilman Ciraulo should vote for.
The City Attorney announced that he has received verification
that it is legal for the School District to reimburse the City
for the cost of the September IS, 1992 Special Election. This
to be called primarily for the School Bond issue. This
decision will be reflected in a resolution at the May 19, 1992
Council meeting. A written agreement will follow the
resolution.
Staff reported there is no written policy for the
reimbursement to Councilmembers for Council related expenses.
Councilman Lojeski remembered that Councilman Harbicht had
previously written a policy for Council stating, in part, that
Council should be reimbursed for certain activities and
Council had voted on this. Staff suggested that a policy had
never been formalized ... Council should simply turn in their
expenses for reimbursement. Councilman Harbicht felt this
should be discussed at the May 12, Study Session.
At 7:35 p.m. the Adjourned Regular Meeting ADJOURNED sine die.
