and the
ARCADIA REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
AOJOURNED REGULAR MEETING
SEPTEMBER 17, 1991
The City Council and the Arcadia Redevelopment Agency met in
an Adjourned Regular Meeting on Tuesday, September 17, 1991
at 7:00 p.m., in the Conference Room of the City Hall Council
Chambers.
PRESENT: Councilmembers Ciraulo, Fasching, Young and Harbicht
ABSENT: Mayor Gilb
On MOTION by Councilmember Young, seconded by Councilmember
Ciraulo and CARRIED, the absence of Mayor Gilb was EXCUSED.
In reference to the letter from Mrs. Roy Koons, whose husband
was a City employee and recently deceased, staff will report
back to Council after reviewing the content.
The Council welcomed a new City employee, Tammy Gates, who
will intern in the Personnel Department.
Staff had previously provided the City Council with a proposed
policy for the use of the Community Center by groups within
the community. After Council has the opportunity to consider
the staff proposal, the item will be placed on an agenda for
formal approval of the policy. Councilmember Fasching
commented that the proposed usage policy looked good to him,
and also noted that the Center is in need of a soft drink
dispenser machine which could be placed at the rear of the
building. Also, a can recycler could be placed in the same
area with another receptacle for recycling in another area.
He noted that the Seniors would appreciate a soft drink once
in a while, along with the other beverages which are available
in the building such as coffee. Coca-Gola or Pepsi Cola will
furnish the machine at no cost to the City and will stock it
also.
A discussion ensued in connection with a clause in the
proposed policy which states that, "the facility should not
be used by non-profit organizations for fund raising events
or dinners". The discussion centered around the non-profit
organizations holding their officer installation dinners at
the Community Center and/or fund-raising events. It was
agreed that this matter be placed on the October 8 City
Council Agenda for consideration and further discussion at
that time.
Item 8a, Zone Change Z-9l-009, Regular Meeting Agenda this
date to be set for a public hearing on October 8, 1991.
The City Manager informed Council that SB 52, the Torres bill,

Manager credited Assemblyman Mountjoy as being instrumental
in bringing about the defeat of SB 52. Arcadia, he noted,
will soon begin to work with Assemblyman Mountjoy to develop
legislation on this issue.

cover the cost of all the signs.

Sierra Madre Mayor Pro tern Gary Adams informed the City
Manager that he will be in attendance tonight at the Regular
Council Meeting as a spectator only. Further, the Sierra

the Arcadia City Council take no action on Resolution No.
5619, which expresses concern regarding the City of Sierra
Madre's opposition to the improvement of Orange Grove Avenue,
and offering to the City of Sierra Madre the realignment of
the City boundary to the south side of Orange Grove. They

make an announcement of this decision at the beginning of the
meeting.
