Rev. Russell T. Williams, The Santa Anita Church Mayor Pro Tern Charles Gilb PRESENT: Councilmembers Ciraulo, Fasching, Gilb, Harbicht and Young ABSENT: None On MOTION by Councilmember Harbicht, seconded by Councilmember Ciraulo and CARRIED, the Minutes of the Adjourned and Regular Meetings of April 17, 1990 were APPROVED, It was MOVED by Councilmember Gilb, seconded by Councilmember Harbicht and CARRIED that Ordinances and Resolutions be read by title only and that the reading in full be waived. Mayor Young introduced Mr. Albert Miller, Field Representative for State Assemblyman Richard Mountjoy, who was present in the audience. CITY ATTORNEY The City Attorney announced that, "The City Council and Agency met in a CLOSED SESSION this evening pursuant to Government Code Section 54956. 9(a) to discuss the existing lawsuit of Arcadia Redevelopment Agency versus Kiewit, Pursuant to Government Code Section 54956.9(c), the Agency also met in CLOSED SESSION with regard to the pending eminent domain case and the establishment of just compensation relative to the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad". (;, The Los Angeles County has a Waste Management Plan which was approved by the State Department of Health Services in November of 1989. State law requires that within 180 days of the County's adoption of the Plan, cities are required to take one of several actions. Arcadia is selecting Item No. "C" of the ,May 1, 1990 staff report which states: "Enact an ordinance which requires that all applicable zoning, subdivision, conditional use permit, and variance decisions -1- 5/1/90 MOTION ORDINANCE NO. 1922 (INTRODUCED) 05'5'0 -~ o' 71') QO _003 2. PUBLIC HEARING (Capital Improv.

The Plan also establishes siting criteria for development of all types of off-site hRzardous waste management facilities. Three criteria are believed to be the most limiting in terms of the potential for these types of facilities to locate within Arcadia. First, a buffer zone of 2000 feet is required between any hazardous waste residual repository of any permanently inhabited residence. Second, the facilities must be located outside the cone of depression created by pumping a well or well field for 90 days unless an effective hydrogeologic barrier to vertical flow exists. Third, the residual repositories should be prohibited within areas known I or suspected to be supplying principal recharge to a regional aquifer. The hazardous waste facility will require a conditional use permit for any location within either of the City's two industrially zoned areas, however, within these two areas, they are all within 2000 feet of residential units. Staff does not feel that there is any place within Arcadia which would meet the criteria that has been set forth. The City is required to conform to the State requirement and adopt an ordinance or take one of the other actions. A Negative Declaration has been prepared and the Planning Commission recommends approval. Mayor Young declared the public hearing open. No one desiring to speak, the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilmember Harbicht, seconded by Councilmember Ciraulo and CARRIED. It was then MOVED by Councilmember Harbicht, seconded by Mayor Young and CARRIED on roll call vote as follows to APPROVE Text Amendment No. 90-003; FILE the Negative Declaration and find the text amendment will not have a significant effect on the environment; and INTRODUCE Ordinance No. 1922 entitled: "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE ARCADIA MUNICIPAL CODE BY ADDING A TITLE 5 TO DIVISION 6 PART 5 OF CHAPTER 2, ARTICLE IX OF THE ARCADIA MUNICIPAL CODE TO REQUIRE CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS AND CONSISTENCY WITH THE COUNTY HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR HAZARDOUS WASTE FACILITIES IN THE M-l AND M-2 ZONES OF THE CITY". AYES: Councilmembers Ciraulo, Fasching, Gilb, Harbicht and Young None None NOES: ABSENT: Consideration of Capital Improvement Program for 1990-91 through 1994- 95; described as a general plan for financial guidance reflecting the thinking of the City regarding projects contemplated during th~ next five years. I A brief question and answer time responding to Council's concerns expenditures as follows: commenced with staff to certain requested Building imurovements - Fire Station No.2 (630 S. Baldwin Ave) Negotiations with Fashion Park are in progress for a small portion of land adjacent to ~he fire station which will facilitate the enlargement arid remodeling of the station. It was noted that the station,will be enlarged to accom- modate a larger fire truck to be used primarily to fight major fires at the race track or Fashion Park, if that should occur. ~, Automatic defibrillators and portable computers - Fire Dept. The new automatic defibrillators and portable computers will -2- 5/1/90 32:0091 facilitate the rescue effort of potential heart attack victims before the paramedic unit arrives at the scene. Eventually, wl,2n replaced, the older equipment can be sold to other ambulance companies. Disaster nrenaredness eauioment I The equipment and supplies for this program will be stored at several locations in the City; the Fire Department Head- quarters on Santa Anita where the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is located; the City Yard; Police Department and City Hall. The site itself will determine which items are stored at each location. Items such as food and water will be monitored and replaced periodically. Concern was expressed of the cost of all the equipment and other supplies. Also, the possibility of storing it and losing track of the purpose. Staff commented that constant drills and exercises are conducted to utilize the equipment. Street sweeper - Public Works A 20 year old street sweeper will be replaced at a cost of $83,000. It will be determined at the time of auction if the salvage of parts off the old sweeper outweighs the price to be obtained at auction. Rotar'! riding mower - Public Works The mower will be hauled by a trailer attached to a City truck. Staff noted that it will be the only mower the City has of that size. Supervisory Control System and Data ACQuisition - Water Div. This system will operate through radio frequency trans- mission rather than the telephone line, and will monitor the City's 14 water wells, 28 booster pumps, 38 million gallons of water storage and pressure wells. The current telemetry system is outdated; the new system will completely monitor and control the entire system. Staff noted, at the time the City Yard was moved to the Goldring Road site, the telemetry system was removed from City Hall to that site; the new system is the replacement. Renovate exterior City Hall buildings - Public Works - 1991- 92 CIP I \ In 1977-78 when the current Council Chamber 'was in construc- tion, the exteriors of the City Hall buildings were re- furbished. At that time the architect recommended sand- blasting the rough stucco exterior finish. Over the years dirt has collected on the exterior; streaking has occurred and it is a constant maintenance problem. The entire facility has need of sandblasting, replastering and painting. Staff noted the $150,000 cost is only an estimate; it could be less. ~ The question of construction of the new Police Building on the Armory site was briefly explored, in particular, the time schedule, and the possibility of coordinating the re- novation of the existing City Hall buildings with the new Police facility. Staff reported that the State would turn the Armory property over to the City in August of 1993, per- haps before, if the National Guard finds another site. The design process of the Police facility is expected to begin early in 1992. Council noted that although the Armory prop- erty may be owned by the City at the end of the five year period, possession may not be possible then. If this is the case, the National Guard will compensate the City in rental fees until they relocate' the unit. -3- 5/1/90 32:0092 Mayor Young then opened the public hearing., No one desiring to speak, the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilmember GiJ.tJ, seconded by Councilmember Harbicht and CARRIED. RESOLUTION NO. 5531 (ADOPTED) CJ,J.f2 0 -.:30 !<NO- q~- The City Attorney then presented and read the title of Resolution No. 5531, entitled: "A RES0UJTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADY,~, I'ALIFGJ!>'H. ADOPTING A CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FOR 1990-1991 THRU 1994-1995". It was then MOVED by Councilmember Gilb, ceconded by Council- member Ciraulo and CARRIED on roll call vote as follows that Resolution No. 5531 be and it is hereby ADOPTED. I A discussion ensued and in response to Councilmember Harbicht's statement that the cost for the new police facility should be included in the Capital Improvement Program under consideration, staff responded that it is included in the section, "Facility Construction Fund" under the title, "Individual Fund - CIP - Budgets Capital Outlay Fund". This account was set in place FY 1983-84 to accumulate funds to acquire or build major City facilities such as the Senior Center, Police station and. possibly, City Hall facilities. The fund anticipates that a new Police station will be built shortly after the 1993-94 fiscal year with the accumulated surplus dedicated to this project. With respect to the expansion of the City Library, Councilmember Harbicht reported the Library Board will soon recommend to the Council that a consultant be retained to provide a preliminary plan for an expansion of the Library. The circulation has increased approximately four times of what it was when the Library was built. The Library has been so successful that the facility has been outgrown. This expenditure should also be considered within this five year time period. Staff responded that it is not reflected in this CIP since the assumption has been that the funds in the Facility Construction Fund will be expended for the Police facility. If both the Police facility and a new Library facility are contemplated, some type of a bond issue or notes of some kind will be needed to fund the project. In reference to fully funding the Equipment Replacement Fund, Councilmember Harbicht noted that two or three more years would pass before this could occur. Staff commented that due to the yearly inflation factor, it is diff~cult to move funds into the Equipment Replacement Fund. Further, the proposed FY 1990-91 Operating Budget is now being prepared and this situation will be reviewed, with a possible recommendation to Council, that funds be taken from General Fund Reserves and moved to Equipment Replacement, instead of waiting two to five years, and make that fund self sustaining now.

Chow, 2894 Larksfield, Arcadia, repl'esenting Unicorn Development Company, was present to answer any questions the Agency may have with respect to Agenda Item No. 5g., the southwest corner of First Avenue and Santa Clara Street Project. Kaisen Fan!!, 840 Volante Drive, came forward to share his personal experience of harassment and verbal abuse he and his wife have suffered from a series of incidents with some Arcadia young people. He has been a resident of Arcadia for two years... about 6 to 7 months ago a series of incidents began with a ring of his doorbell at 2 a. m. to find his front lawn splattered with oil, broken containers and plants, and the driveway littered with debris ... trees, branches and rocks. Some days later the side mirror on his car was smashed and the car littered with a substance ... he did not know what. He reiterated his experience with the' Police Department. Just today his wife, he stated, answered the door and received verbal abuse from two younf. girls .,. and racial remarks which he did not care to mention in public. Mr. Fang said during the assault by these young people his wife was not physically touched but the verbal assault has had a psychological affect on them. This is not an isolated incident as the police believe, but has been occurring since last year. Mrs. Fang spoke also of how freightened she has been. The license number of a car that followed her home was taken down and turned over to the police. The City' Manager asked Police Captain Hinig to talk with Mr. and Mrs. Fang... hear their story and try to stop the harassment. Further, staff will bring a report back to Council on the action taken. COUNCIL RECESSED IN ORDER TO ACT AS THE ARCADIA REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY PRESENT: Agency Members Ciraulo, Fasching, Gilb, Harbicht and Young ABSENT: None On MOTION by Member Gilb, seconded by Member Harbicht and CARRIED, the Minutes of the Meeting of April 17, 1990 were APPROVED. On both February 6, and March 20, 1990 the Agency agreed to continue the hearing to consider adoption of a Resolution of Necessity instituting condemnation of the Technar property (125 N. Second Avenue). The Agency and Technar have reached a conceptual agreement over the Agency's offer to purchase Technar's property, relocate their tenants, demolish existing structures, and pay Technar for the design and construction of a replacement parking lot at 215 N. Second Avenue. The Agency attorneys and the Technar attorney are working out the fine details of this complex agreement and, therefore, an additional two week extension would allow time to resolve the remaining issues pertaining to the Purchase and Development Agreement. It was MOVED by Member Harbicht" seconded by Member Ciraulo and CARRIED that the hearing' to consider adoption of a Resolution of Necessity instituting condemnation of certain real property (Technar) be CONTINUED to MAY 15, 1990. -5- 5/1/90 5d.

Gribble, principal, AGCA) , the Agency retained a future right to participate in the appreciation of the development in the initial amount of $700,000. The developer signed a Promissory Note secured by a Deed of Trust in favor of the Agency in order to secure the Agency's interest in the property. AGCA took out a $14,505,000 loan from First Interstate Mortgage Company to cover the first phase of the construction costs of the Project. The Agency agreed to subordinate its Deed of Trust to this loan, and thereby take the second position in the event of default by the developer. 1 Mr. Gribble is now requesting an additional loan amount of $7,600,000 from First Interstate Bank to cover the balance of the construction costs of the project, bringing the total loan amount to $22,105,000. As a requirement of this new loan, the Agency has been asked to sign a new Subordination Agreement where the Agency would subordinate its interest in the Proj ect behind the aggregate $22,105,000 loan. Interstate Bank has confirmed that the bank's exposure on the combined loans does not exceed 80% of the value of the project; the total proj ect value is therefore $27,631,200 which offers adequate protection for the Agency's interest which could increase from $700,000 to $938,000. Agency Special Counsel has reviewed and approved the draft Subordination Agreement. It was MOVED Member Harbicht, seconded by Chairman Young and CARRIED on roll call vote as follows to APPROVE the Subordination Agreement with Arcadia Gateway Centre Associates for the additional loan amount of $7,600,000, and AUTHORIZE the Executive Director to execute the appropriate document(s). AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Members Ciraulo, Fasching, Gilb, Harbicht and Young None None The proposed construction of a 9,156 square foot restaurant, styled as a modern Italian villa, as part of the Souths ide Redevelopment project (Gribble/Arcadia Gateway Centre), was considered. A full analysis of design features is set forth in the May 1, 1990 staff report. The Agency had viewed colored renderings and preliminary architectural plans of the proposed Olive Garden Restaurant prior to the Regular Meeting this date. In response to the Agency's questions, Richard Stacey, representing the General Mills Restaurants stated, in part, that the awnings on the proposed Olive Garden Restaurant will I' be green around the periphery of the building, and burgundy in the front as shown on the renderings. General Mills owns and operates both the Red Lobster and Olive Garden restaurants with approximately 700 restaurants nationwide, including 240 Olive Garden restaurants. He estimates there are about 20 Olive Garden Restaurants in California, either under construc- tion or developed. Mr. Stacey offered this advertisement to the Agency; last year the National Restaurant Association voted the Olive Gardens as the best restaurant in the United States. ~ , '0 Staff has requested additional architectural treatment to the rear of the building; this in addition to the revised plans containing trellis work and trees, to relieve the stark appearance of the building. Mr. Stacey agreed in principle that trees and trellises or shuttered false windows would give it a better treatment. Also, staff requested that signage be placed.on the western exposure of the building. 'Y'" '- , '0 .

Mr. Lortie, WLA Arcon, has since advised that the Derby no longer desires to be a part of the project. Arcon/Schaefer Brothers is prepared to market for, and obtain, another quality dinner house for the site. Champion Development Company, also, had originally submitted a proposal for the site for a 20,000 square foot retail development consisting of two buildings and surface parking.

Councilmember Faschinl!: "1 'm going to approve this, for myself here tonight, however, 1 do feel that this is just the hegining with this scale that we have here on second story houses. I think we have one heck of a long way to go to find a solution to the problem of building, and second story houses, particularly, on odd shaped size lots. I was invited to a public hearing by the Village Homeowners Association last week, whereby, they had a proposal for a 3,500 square foot house on an 11,000 square foot lot, which only had 55 feet of frontage. But, the extent of the second story and the length of the house impacted the two houses on the adjacent street whose back yards came right ur to that. And all they're going to see is that second story in the future. And I know when we build a second story house somebody's going to have to look at the second story. But, this one was one of the isolated cases because there are a lot of good second story houses, but, this one has a severe impact on two neighbors' houses. I think that this is a beginning... and I think we have to really do some studying and find out, somewhat, what our neighbors are doing with their second story problems, such as, how San Marino handles theirs. South Pasadena, I think, is undertaking a moratorium on building. The City of Pasadena is in the same position. It's been explained to me that San Marino has a conditional use permit for all second story houses, which, of course, entails a lot of public hearings and personnel and paper work. But, I think we have a problem, and one that's paramount with the people of this community, that behooves us to take this quite a few steps further than this. Mr', Harbicht has informed me that we're having another study session relating to this with the builders, real estate people, homeowner's representatives ... we have to bear in mind also, that south Arcadia does not enjoy the homeowner's associations that other areas do in our City. And a way to try and communicate or have representatives from that area should be undertaken so that they could be represented also." Mayor Young noted that representatives from areas of the City which have no homeowner associations were present at the -9- 5/1/90 .. ORDINANCE NO. 1920 ROLL CALL 9b. , ORDINANCE NO. 1921' (ADOPTED) 32:0098 rr,eeting. Also, that Council had subsequently passed the "lot coverage" ordinance and at that time requested a further study for the refinements. Councilmember Harbicht added that the committee included persons who had been involved in an attempt to start a homeonwers association in the south part of town which had failed ... so this area was represented, Councilmernber Fasching commented further, "I'm going to vote for this, but, I think that I want to go on record as saying that we have a long way to go", and "1, for one, would like to know what other cities are doing, particularly, maybe, the cities that I mentioned that are neighbors, in regard to this same problem, which might be of some guideline to us also". Mayor Young thanked Councilmember Fasching for his comments and responded that Council will get the information referred to. 1 AYES: Councilmembers Ciraulo, Fasching, Gilb, Harbicht and Young None None NOES: ABSENT: The City Attorney presented for adoption and read the title of Ordinance No. 1921: "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA APPROVING TEXT AMENDMENT 90- 002 AMENDING, AND ADDING THE FOLLOWING SECTIONS TO THE CPD-l, CoO, C-l, C-2, CoM AND M-l ZONES; SECTIONS 9260.2.6, 9261.6.2, 9262.6.4, 9263.6.1, 9265,6.1 and 9266.2.10 RELATING TO LIGHT STANDARDS; SECTIONS 9260.2,8, 9261,6.6, 9262.6.8, 9263.6.5, 9265,6.5 AND 9266.2,7 RELATING TO INSIDE STORAGE; SECTIONS 9260,2.7, 9261,6.7, 9262,6.9, 9263.6.6 AND 9265.6.6 RELATING TO OUTSIDE STORAGE; AND SECTIONS 9266,2.8.5, 9260.3.8, 9261.4,3 AND 9262.4,10 RELATING TO REAL ESTATE SIGNS", 05'l?O -65- T~ qC) - OtJJ 9c.

Don Meyer, Area Manager, So. California Edison Company, \ ., Monrovia Office, in response to Council's concerns stated, in part, that the Edison Company has been working to get the mylar conductive material on metallic balloons banned in California. They have worked with the manufacturers of this material since 1987 to persuade them to use a different material that is non-conductive; the balloons are not lighter- than-air unless they are filled with helium. Ordinary balloons are not a problem... even when filled with helium. State Senator Alquist has a bill pending before the Legislature, SB-1990, and is seeking the support of various California cities. It was noted that the metallic balloons have floated up into Edison conductors and have caused over 200 power outages a year ... this is not just an isolated problem, it is happening throughout the state. The Department of Water and Power has reported that some near fatalities have occurred. 1 -10- 5/1/90 . ~ -' o "..1 I 1 9d. CLAIM OF S. M. PAGE (DENIED) lotfO- <10 o /1le 10.

Mr. Meyer reiterated that it is the substance on the metallic balloons that is conductive and when the balloons are filled with helium and float loose they can get into Edison conductors and cause serious problems. The Edison Company has established a prop,ram to inform th" publ ic of this danger; florists and party shops have been identified through the telephone yellow pages; posters have been distributed for display to businesses with information regarding the proper disposal of the metallic balloons. Edison has experienced quite a bit of cooperation from local business people, according to Mr. Meyer.

The law requires that this announcement be recorded in the minutes". MATTERS FROM ELECTED OFFICIALS Councilmember Fasching stated, in part, that the City of Los Angeles may institute some mandatory water rationing programs, Although Arcadia does not have a severe water shortage problem, a voluntary conservation program could be encouraged; perhaps a flyer could be inserted in the City Newsletter giving water conservation hints several possible conservation methods were offered to reduce water consumption in the City. As an example of a workable program for a similar situation, the Gas Company lists information on their billings such as gas usage for the prior year month-to-date; savings for current year; average decrease; and gas conserved on the part of the user. Perhaps a new design of the Arcadia water billing invoice could incorporate this same information to make the customer aware of how much water he is saving on a month- to-month and annual basis, as a voluntary conservation measure. Further, the person who is exhibiting the largest saving of water on his billing could be cited ... Water conservation could be made a little fun in the City, and get some civic pride behind the program and those who are really -11- 5/1/90 f -', ',' 32:0100 tl:yiilg to ~,onservo. ~layol: Young commented th'lt it would be nice if we could do that. The City Manager said staff will look into the matter and report back to Council. Councilmember Harbicht felt that greater use should be made of press releases. A press release could be issued . .. "Water Saving Tips From the City of Arcadia Water Manager", for example. There is a very good chance it would get printed also, there is wide circulation .,. we should go beyond the City Newsletter. HARBICHT V (Dial-A-Ride) Referring to the Consent Calendar, Councilmember Harbicht commented that because these Consent Items are all adopted with one motion, some may think they are minor items ... they are not. An example would be the Short Range Transit Plan report, which is a fine report. David Feinberg was commended for his work on this report. Further, Arcadia Dial-A-Ride carries 170,000 passengers a year, which is significant for a City of 50,000. Dial-A-Ride is a very successful public service. ,. something we can be proud of. 1 GILB (Haz. Waste Collection) Councilmember Gilb reported that a friend of his participated in the Sanitation District Hazardous Waste Round-Up at the Pasadena Rose Bowl April 28th. His friend reported that it was well organized; everyone was polite; there were about 1,000 cars there when she arrived; she left home and returned in 40 minutes; the items to be disposed of were unloaded by workers at the site and hauled off. A questionnaire was received requesting information such as; what did she normally do with these items; where she heard about the program; if she would like to have this program offered again and so forth. ... In answer to Councilmember Ciraulo's question, staff reported that the program is sponsored by the County Sanitation District; they are extremely expensive to operate, which is why they only hold four at a time, Three more collections will be held before June 16; one in Long Beach; another at Gal Poly, Pomona, and a third at another site in this general area .
