PRESENTATION

A presentation was made by Joe Moriarity for the Arcadia
Unified School District Facilities Task Force. Because of
School District problems of increased enrollment, elementary
school overcrowding, a large inventory of aging classrooms
which are in need of refurbishing, etc., five goals have been
set by the Task Force to maintain, the high quality of
education in Arcadia and expand opportunity into the 90's for
the students in Arcadia. The School District hopes to
rehabilitate the aging facilities in a fiscally responsible
manner, while minimizing the impact on the taxpayers. There
will be great changes in the Arcadia schools in the 90' s
because of increased enrollment. The reopening of two
elementary schools (Santa Anita and Bonita Park) was
considered. However, the estimated costs for refurbishing,
operating, maintaining and staffing were overwhelming. It was
recommended that the school district be re-configured so that
the elementary schools would be grades K to 5, creating
smaller schools that would be more personal for the younger
students. Junior high schools would then move from status as
mini high schools with high school requirements, athletics and
activit!~s, to middle schools, and truly be positioned between
the elementary and the high school as the transition period.
The high school would then be re-configured as it was in 1960,
back to a 9 to 12 configuration.

)
The Task Force has given their best thoughts t~ ~.._ ;juard of
Education. The Board must make their decision by mid-October,
These plans will be discussed in great detail at informational
forums, public hearings, etc., and input is encouraged.
Counci1member Fasching suggested a study session between the
Council and the School Board while these decisions are being
made. Mayor Gilb and Councllmembers Ciraulo and Young thought
it might be best to wait until the School Board has come to
some decisions.

The deve10per'of the Souths ide Project (Stanley W. Gribble)
has two outstanding construction loans totalling $22,105,000
on the Project from First Interstate Bank, The Agency agreed
both at the time of the initial loan and at the time of the
additional loan to subordinate its $700,000 deed of trust to
these two loans. The Developer is requesting a time extension
from the bank to February 1,,'J.9Q? 'r In addition, the Developer
requests that the bank give hiiii"the option to release Parcel
5 (the four-story office building and parking structure) from
I~ the loan obligation should he choose to sell Parcel 5 or

staff report dated August 6, 1991. As a condition for
approval of this Agreement, First Interstate Bank requires
that the Agency reaffirm its second position to the two First
Interstate Bank loans. Mr. Gribble has been required to pay
a $2,000 administrative processing fee to the Agency by August

The Agreement has been reviewed by Agency Special Counsel and
Agency General Counsel and staff recommends approval.
In reply to a question from Member Fasching, staff replied
that the Deed of Trust secures the note for $700,000 which is
compounded by 5% annually. According to a formula set forth
in the DDA, based upon an appraisal that will be done at the
end of the six years, which is November of 1993, the Agency
could be eligible to receive up to the $700,000 which would
be compounded, and at 'that time be worth $938,067.

A proposed Second Assignment and Deve10pment'Agreement to the
Emkay Disposition and Development Agreement (Northside
Project) has become necessary because Chandler Investment
Properties, L. P. has entered into a j oint venture development
partnership with ASL Ventures, In9. for construction of an
office building on the western half (Parcell) of Parcel D,
shown on Location Map attached to staff report dated August
6, 1991. The Agreement substitutes the Chand1er/ASL
Partnership for Chandler Investment Properties, L. P. for
development on Parcel 1 of Parcel D only and extends the
development schedules for Parcels 1 and 2 of Parcel 0 to June
30, 1992 and 'December 31, 1992 respectively. Chandler
Investment Properties, L. P. will remain the responsible
develop."r for Parcel 2. The Agreement also provides that the
Agency will receive compensation as a result of the
anticipated delays in construction and build-out, Chandler
shall be required to post either an irrevocable $20,000 letter
of credit in the Agency's name or a like amount into an escrow
account for draw down by the Agency based upon a schedule set
forth in the Agreement.
The Agreement has been sent to Chandler and Emkay for review
and signature before this meeting. The Emkay group did not
agree that they should be a party to a document which I
essentially created the joint venture between different
parties, since they are' no longer interested in Parcel D.
After discussion with Emkay attorneys, the Agency Special
Counsel agreed that the Agency does not have to have Emkay as
a signatory. The signatories should be the Chandler Group
and the new entity, Chandler Group/ASL Engineers. A new
document has been prepared and executed by the Chandler Group
and staff recommends approval, as modified, eliminating ~J
as a signatory, Chandler has also provided a $5,000
processing fee. The document has been reviewed by the Agency
General Counsel.
In reply to a question from Member Fasching, staff replied
that ASL is a limited partner, and that when the building is
completed, ASL will probably be the owner and primary tenant.

CITY ATTORNEY
The City Attorney presented and read the title of Ordinance
No. 1939: "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, ADDING A CHAPTER 9.4 (4940 ET SEQ.) TO
THE ARCADIA MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO STORAGE AND SALE
REQUIREMENTS OF AEROSOL SPRAY PAINT AND DYE CONTAINERS BY ANY
BUSINESS OR ESTABLISHMENT OFFERING SAID CONTAINERS FOR SALE
TO THE PUBLIC..
Mayor Gi1b stated that he is not in favor of an ordinance
which requires that the spray paint cans be locked up.
Perhaps an ordinance that would restrict juveniles from having
spray cans in their possession would be preferable.
Counci1members Ciraulo and Young said it was their
understanding that the spray cans need not be 10ckea up; just
that they be inaccessible to the public. Councilmember
Fasching said it was his understanding that the Chamber of
Commerce planned to pass along a recommendation to the Council
that they did not recommend locking up the spray cans or
imposing that restriction on the retailers, '
Ke1 Mason, Manager" Arcadia Chamber of Commerce, stated, in
part, that in response to Council's request, he made a survey
7
8/6/91
33:0216
of Chamber members that sold spray paint in the City of
Arcadia. Not having many who' sold the spray paint, he made a
survey of the business districts. Generally, the feeling was
that they understood the problem; they know it is there; but,
businesswise, this would actually accomplish nothing.
Counci1member Young said that, through the San Gabriel Valley
Association of Cities, there has been an effort to get all the
Valley cities to pass such an ordinance to make the spray
paint less accessible. Mayor Pro tem Harbicht stated there
are three main points in this Ordinance: (1) make it illegal
for anyone under eighteen to purchase spray paint; which is
already a State law; (2) it will be illegal for a juvenile to
possess spray paint in a public place; and (3) the spray paint
has to be kept in the store in an inaccessible place. In
response to his question, the City Attorney said he did not I
believe it was currently State law that a juvenile could not
possess the paint in a public place. Also that proposed
amendments can be made to the ordinance at a later time.
Mayor Pro tem Harbicht further stated that, although everyone
is frustrated by this vandalism, he does not think that having
the paint in an inaccessible place is going to have any effect
on the people who want to get it to do these things and this
will be an onerous burden to the business people who sell
paint. He felt the most effective part of the ordinance might
be that about juveniles possessing the paint in a public
place. This would help enable the City to enforce the law
against graffiti. He would like to see an ordinance that
would address that particular item. He is not ready to
support an ordinance requiring that the paint be kept in an
inaccessible place in the stores. .
Councilmember Young thought the City should try it and leave
that requirement in the ordinance. Counci1member Fasching
agreed with Mayor Pro tem Harbicht that this ordinance would
impose a hardship on certain members of the community. He
suggested posting a standing reward for arrest and conviction
of those spraying graffiti in the City. Counci1member Ciraulo
suggested the ordinance be sent back to be re-worded to
eliminate the lock-up provision and add the reward provision.
The City Attorney suggested that direction to alter the
current ordinance be given this evening and then it could be
reintroduced and brought back at the next meeting.
The City Manager noted that the WE TIP organization has
recently established a new program which provides rewards for
people that report individuals spreading graffiti. Council
might like to take advantage of that program rather than
establish a separate reward program. Counci1member Fasching
felt that WE TIP does not have the stature of the City posting
the reward. Councilmember Young felt whatever is done should
be strong enough to include individuals who are older than
eighteen, Staff suggested that the matter of the reward
could be a policy matter rather than stated in an ordinance
and could be brought back to the next Council Meeting.
It waa MOVED by Mayor Pro tem Harbicht, seconded by
Councilmember Ciraulo and CARRIED on roll call vote as follows
that Ordinance No. 1939 be AMENDED eliminating Section
4940,l(b) and that it be REINTRODUCED,

,thirty days in the event 'of a false alarm. This will be
included in the Ordinance to be brought back for consideration

the City's appropriation limit to grow with the whole
community. Even though a city is built out, the costs
continue to increase, for instance, many cities have a
daytime population that is larger than the population that
lives in the community. That population can grow, creating
costs for the city and, requiring the need for higher
appropriation limits. Mayor Pro tem Harbicht requested and
received an explanation of several of the calculations set
forth. Mayor Pro tem Harbicht noted that the appropriations
limit established for the City is nearly $29,000,000; the City
appropriations are under that by almost $8,000,000 which shows
prudent management.
