On behalf of the Management Staff of the City, City Manager
George Watts presented a special Certificate of Commendation
to Mayor Young in recognition and appreciation of outstanding
achievement in setting the all-time record for the shortest

REMARKS AND INTRODUCTIONS BY OUTGOING MAYOR MARY YOUNG
"Thank you. I am overwhelmed and the shortest Council Meeting
was really fun. I really thank you one and all, and I
certainly thank you for being here tonight. I think I will
start a few comments by introducing my husband, Dick and you
have heard me say this before, you can't do this job without
the support of your spouse. Also, tonight my daughter Carolyn I
and her husband, Howard Giffis are here. Our sons are
businessmen and they are being busy. This has been a good
year and it has been a productive year. I'll not name
everything that has gone on, but the Senior Center and the
Redevelopment area on East Huntington, we've all watched grow.
The General Plan has been reviewed and we've tightened some
ordinances. Now this is a special night when a new captain
of the good ship Arcadia takes over, or better, a new guide
to lead us on the trail of our mountains. Our real mountains
present to us each morning the security, the steadfast
presence and the strength that I have always thought of as a
commitment... a commitment to do my best. Our community...
and I think of us as a cohesive community and not just another
city ... has grown, changed, developed and matured. Now,
also, we have many changes and demands from the outside. We
are faced with a water cutback, a trash disposal problem,
congestion management which includes air quality and
transportation. We still need sound walls and are still
working on this. This is my biggest disappointment. As a
City we have been incorporated since 1903 and can thank the
early counci1members for the vision to create a firm
foundation and thus we do not need to fear our mountains. We
have a City with few problems and a willing, cooperative and
great staff and I feel we have achieved the promise of today
and have the possibility for tomorrow. Arcadia is an
influence here in San Gabriel Valley and a unique City. I
challenge all to continue to make firm foundations and to
climb the necessary mountains with strong support for our new
guide. Thank you, everyone, for this past year."

REMARKS AND INTRODUCTIONS BY MAYOR GILB
"As the new incoming Mayor, first, I would like to thank the
Council for the selection of Mayor for the coming year. I
would like to introduce my family. First, I would like to
introduce my wife, Ruth. Also, our daughter, Denise and our
daughter, Valerie. Needless to say, Valerie and I were
talking this morning ... when I first got elected, she was
eleven years old. So, that just shows you how long we have
all been around. Mary has done a fantastic job. I wrote one
of the letters to nominate her for Citizen of the Year.
Everything I said in there, I meant. She went beyond the call
of duty as far as the Mayor's job was concerned and there was
never a meeting held too early or too late that Mary Young
could not attend or adjust her time to do it. And all of
things that she presents as problems then, are still problems
tomorrow -- the water, the sanitation, etc., so I won't go
over all of that because they will all be here. I would like
to thank the staff of the City for all of the work they have
done. We have a very capable organization running this
community. I am particularly fond of all of them and the Fire
Department has done a great job and -- with the way policemen
are being pushed around these days -- I want to tell you that
this Council stands firm one hundred percent behind our Police
Department. Most of the work of the City Council is done with
the cooperation of the community and having been on this
Council for eighteen years -- sixteen years, this starts my
seventeenth -- I think about the first time when I was sworn
in and all the'peop1e who supported us at that time who are
no longer here ... they have either moved or passed away. And
the foundation of this community was built by many outstanding
citizens who are not here any more and I think we ought to
think about them because they rsa11y built the City and they
did it by the love and cooperation and dedication and you know
who they all are. We could take about thirty seats right out
of here right now, the people that are missing who really
worked and worked hard to cooperate to make this a great City,
and those people we have to think about, and to those people
then we have an obligation to continue the work. At the same
time then the City had many leaders. I would like to
introduce the Mayors who are in attendance this evening:
Dennis Lojeski, former Mayor; Jim Helms; Roger Chandler; Bob
Harbicht and, of course, Mary Young. The one major project,
of course, that we have completed this year or are about to
complete, is the Senior Center which was long, long overdue.
I wish to thank all the people who have dedicated their lives
and their help in running this community. When you go around
town and you see people fixing up their yards and painting
their houses and just keeping everything in good condition,
you know the pride the citizens have in the community. And
yet, we have a lot of problems that have filtered into our
community with crime and graffiti and all the other things.
Maybe it is just a way of life and just a part of the times
... I don't know what it is. But those are the things we have
to face now. I think... and Mary was even saying the other
day -- 'you wait this year, you're going to find out how much
different this job is this year than it was the last time you
3
4/16/91
33:0096
were the Mayor'. And it is true, things have really changed
and it has gotten more complicated. We've gotten more
citizens, more people running around and it just seems like
it is a crowd and it just has to take a lot more work, but we
have the wherehow in the community and the staff to do it.
I want to thank you very much for coming this evening. It was
very nice of you and many people out there, I know, have just
come in from overseas on flights and happened to make it here
this evening, and I want to thank you for taking your time to
be here. Thank you for electing me Mayor for the coming year.
I appreciate it."
REMARKS AND INTRODUCTIONS BY MAYOR PRO TEM ROBERT C. HARBICHT
"I'd like to start out by echoing what Mary said that you I
could not do this job without your spouse and I'm spending a
rare Tuesday evening with my spouse. I'd like to introduce
my wife, Patsy. I, too, would like to thank you, Mary, for
an outstanding job. I think that you represented the City
with dignity and class and just did a bang-up job. Most of
us don't see all of the hard work that goes into being Mayor
and representing our City. I know first hand what is involved
and I would just like to thank you on behalf of the citizens
for all the efforts that you put o~t. I'd like to also offer
my congratulations to Charles. It's his fourth term as Mayor
of Arcadia and all of them well deserved. I had the
opportunity to serve as Mayor Pro Tern the last time Charles
was Mayor and I am looking forward to the coming year. I
would also like to say that this is a particularly important
time in our community and not everyone is aware of some of the
things that are going on. I think there are some things going
on right now at the City Council level which are going to have
a profound impact on the future of Arcadia. During the last
few months I introduced several areas of legislation and the
Council is currently working on those things and I think that
they are going to guarantee that Arcadia remains the kind of
community that we want it to be, and I would like to quickly
outline them for you. Council recently declared a one year
moratorium on hillside development. The purpose of that is
that during that year we are going to study our hillside
development ordinance, and the intention is to come up with
a much stricter ordinance than we have now, even though our
ordinance now is strict. And I think that the result of that
is that we are going to see no more development on the
hillsides of Arcadia. The second thing is that one of the
items on the agenda tonight is to create a new zone -- a new
R-1 zone. The purpose of that is to provide another large lot
zone in our community. We have gone through and have
identified a number of areas in the community where we
currently have large lots, but the zoning is such that, by
just assembling one or two or three of those lots, cul-de-sacs
can be put in and meet our zoning requirements. So Council
will be going through and re-zoning large parts of our I
community with the aim of preserving large lot areas in the
community and I think that is something that is going to be
very positive for the community. It's going to prevent most
of the potential future cul-de-sacs in the community. And
finally the Council has recently passed a new high-rise
ordinance which is providing us a tool whereby we are going
to go through and re-zone large parts of this community to
prevent high-rise development that are currently zoned for
high-rise development. I think that is another thing that the
City of Arcadia and the people of Arcadia want. We do not
want a downtown Los Angeles or a Glendale; we want a
residential community without high-rise construction. So all
of these things are going on and all of these things, I think,
are going to be completed in the next year. I think that this
year is going to be an important year because the impacts of
what is. happening now and is going to happen in the next year,
4
4/16/91
33:0097
as I said, is going to guarantee that Arcadia stay the kind
of community that it is. So I am looking forward to this year
with a great deal of excitement and anxious to get on with
it. Thank you."
REMARKS AND INTRODUCTIONS BY COUNCILMEMBERS
COUNCILMEMBER JOSEPH C. CIRAULO
I
"Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I congratulate you on becoming Mayor
this evening. It is hard to imagine that it was exactly one
year ago that I was sworn in as a City Councilman. It has
been the fastest year of my life and I have enjoyed every
minute of it. I would like to thank Mary for her guidance
for the year and understanding; I've learned a great deal.
My children are all working tonight also and couldn't be here,
but I would like to introduce my wife, Carole, who is in the
audience. I look forward to working with the new Council
productively as we have this past year."
COUNCILMEMBER GEORGE W. FASCHING
I
"I'd like to congratulate Mary on her year as Mayor and also
congratulate you, Charles, on your forthcoming year as Mayor.
I, like Joe, think it is really something how fast this last
year has gone by because it was one year ago that we Were both
sworn in. It has been an enlightening year for me; en
educational year to learn how the City functions and to learn
my way around, as Joe has. Being a businessman all of my
life, the one thing I think I have had to get used to the most
was that nothing gets done very fast. Government takes time.
I'm not quite used to that but I am beginning to learn how to
roll with it a little bit. It seems like only yesterday that
.- well, it was fourteen months ago in the campaign .. we were
talking about Orange Grove Avenue. I have a feeling it is
going to be a campaign issue possibly in the next election
because we haven't accomplished Orange Grove yet. But that
is one of the things that takes time. I think that, like Bob
said, about the things that he has planned and we have other
things planned. Right now, we are undertaking to inform the
residents of the 30% of the City that is not lighted
residenta11y wise of their rights and how they can get those
areas lighted. It is my contention that it is time that our
City has adequate street lights. I still have in the back of
my mind plans and hopes for a new civic center and an
auditorium for our children. Not, quite possibly, in the next
one year, but perhaps in the next two or three years we might
get to that. I think" many of the things that we have done
insofar as what we have known as mans ionization in the past
.. I think we have slowed that down through our efforts. But
there still are things to be done and I think that,
architecturally speaking within the City, to maintain the City
the way we want to maintain it, and to work closer with our
Planning Commission, and to rely upon our Commission in
general for their assistance and guidance to the Council in
their recommendations, to where we have a closer relationship
with those people. Also, to eventually create a means of
better communication between City Hall and all of the
residents of the City to keep them better informed of what is
going on within the City and things of importance to them.
I also feel that in the year to come that the Council will be
faced with, possibly, and should be concerned with, working
with our School District and the plights that they have and
the problems that they have so we can be of assistance where
we can, because I consider our schools to be the backbone of
this whole community. So, it's been a great year. I'm
looking forward to next year and the year after. My wife
couldn't be here tonight, but I want to thank all of you for
5

being here and I want to say that I'm happy I'm here. Thank
you."

As a result of SB 2557, Los Angeles County has withheld tax
increment funds from certain redevelopment agencies which
includes Arcadia. On behalf of the other cities, Mr. Alex
Chiu, Attorney at Kane, Ballmer and Berkman, has filed a
lawsuit against L. A. County alleging that the County had no
authority to deduct any tax increment since agencies are not
mentioned in the statute, and such deduction is
unconstitutional. According to the Health and Safety Code,
tax increments to be allocated to redevelopment agencies must
be paid into an agencies' special fund and used exclusively
for repayment of agencies indebtedness. The total legal fees
are estimated to be $65-$70,000 with each city paying an equal
share. Arcadia has agreed to be part of the lawsuit against
the County. As per the agreement, Arcadia's expenditure will
not exceed $5,000.
It was MOVED by Member Ciraulo, seconded by Member Harbicht
and CARRIED on roll call vote as follows to APPROVE the

The Capital Improvement Program for FY 90-91 provides for the
expansion and remodel of Fire Station No.2 on Baldwin Avenue.
As a result of continuing analysis, staff. recommends the
existing station not be expanded and/or remodeled. It was
further determined that construction of a new facility may
actually be more cost effective than renovation of the
existing structure. Consequently a new station should be
considered at this time to meet the long-term needs of the
City, according to staff.
I
Counci1member Harbicht requested that this item be considered
separately and would like to change the staff recommendation
and MOVE that the recommendation be amended to AUTHORIZE Phase
I, the site analysis and space needs study. Further, the
question of whether or not to build a station be taken up
during the Capital Improvements Program Budget hearing on May
7. At that time, the rest of the expenditure can be
authorized.

Fire Chief Gerald Gardner, stated that the relationships
between Phase I and Phase II are intermingled; however, Phase
III is completely separate. Phase III is the actual design of
the station. Once the site analysis and space needs study are
completed, it would be more effective for the architect to
then do some schematic design and some cost estimates so that
we know what we are looking at for this project, according to
Chief Gardner. Phase I and Phase II should be done
concurrently. Some items developed in Phase I will be applied
to Phase II and vice versa. The City Manager said that it
appears that, from Counci1member Harbicht's motion, that this
will be resolved on May 7 during the Capital Improvements
Budget hearing. Since this will occur at the next Council
meeting, it will probably not matter if the architect is
restricted to Phase I.
It was then MOVED by Counci1member Harbicht, seconded by
Counci1member Young and CARRIED on roll call vote as follows
to APPROVE the retention of Wolff/Lang/Christopher, AlA, to
provide architectural services for Phase I of the proposed
Fire Station No.2 Project; and the question of whether or not
to build, and the remainder of the architect's contract be
considered at the May 7 public hearing on the Capital
Improvements Budget.
In reply to a question from Counci1member Fasching,
Counci1member Harbicht said he did not feel that the matter
of approving a million and a half dollars for a new fire
station should be an item on the consent calendar and by
hiring an architect for $120,000 investment to design it seems
to be putting the cart before the horse. He would like the
opportunity to consider investment of a million and a half
dollars for a new fire station along with the other Capital
Improvements Program. He is not necessarily in favor of
remodeling rather than rebuilding.

Counci1member Fasching noted that he did not see anything in
the staff report which indicated the total cost. J.uu
Collins, Director of Recreation, stated, in part, that this
information can be found as part of Exhibit A to Resolution
No. 5578, and that more detailed information will be available
in the Budget Report. There has been an increase in the part-
time salaries of the people who run the part-time activities
and classes and the fees have been adjusted based on the new
salary schedule so they will cover those costs. Counci1member
Fasching would like to look at the Recreation Department
Budget before considering raising the fees. Mayor Gi1b noted
that over the years, the Department has tried to have each
Recreation program pay for itself by means of the fees. Mr.
Collins also noted that the summer programs are advertised at
this time, so the prices need to be set at this time so the
brochures may be sent out.
