CITY ATTORNEY The City Attorney announced that, "the City Council and the Arcadia Redevelopment Agency met in CLOSED SESSION this evening pursuant to Government Code Section 54956,9(bl) concerning a situation involving Los Angeles County Ambulance Service. Based on those facts and circumstances, it was the City's opinion, based upan my legal advice, that there is a significant exposure to litigation concerning that matter. That is the reason we discussed it in CLOSED SESSION, Further, pursuant to Government Code Section 54956.9, the City discussed the existing Worker's Compensation Appeals Baard litigation of Blum vs, Arcadia", Mayar Young welcomed Arcadia Boy together with their Scout Master. working on a Merit Badge. Scouts Troop No.. 105, The Troop was, present PRESENTATION . Mayar Young read a pro.clamatio.n fro.m the City o.f Arcadia acknowledging the efforts and accomplishments of Mary Bittner who for the past thirty-seven years has dedicated much of her time to the Arcadia Welfare and Thrift Shop; thirty-three years as a Member of the Board of Directors.

Consideration of the reallocation of co.mmunity development block grant funds for fiscal year 1990-91. On February 6, 1990, the City Council appro.ved the use of $223,611 in Community Development Grant Funds for fiscal year 1990-91 for projects described in detail in staff repo.rt dated May 15, 1990. Staff is recommending that Public Works Ughting programs, totaling $72,208, be withdrawn and that a new program, "Alley Reconstructio.n between First and Second Avenues" be approved in their place. If a project on the southwest corner of Second Avenue and Huntington Drive is approved, there will be increased traffic down the alley. At the request of the Redevelopment Agency, the Public Works Department inspected the alley and found it to. be in poor conditio.n and in need of reconstructio.n. Estimated cost o.f reconstructio.n is approximately $70,000. The Director of Public Works noted that, if the City determines that rehabilitatio.n of the alley is needed in 1990-91, that Department would have no objection to postponing the Public Works Lighting Programs Nos. 4, 5, and 6 until FY 1991-92 so that the CDBG funds can be utilized for alley rehabilitation. 5/15/90 -3- ..~u_, 2. LIBRARY EXPANSION NEEDS (Prop, 85 Library Constr. Fund Appl.) 0730- 70 l3/cfJ' Prqj. 32:0l06 Councilmember Ciraulo inquired if it would be a good idea to work on reconstructing the alley before the anticipated new redevelopment projects are completed in the southwest corner project, Staff responded that they will probably wait until the redevelopment project is completed before this work is initiated, This will probably be spring or summer of next year, In reply to a question from Mayor Young, staff said that undergrounding of the power has already been completed. Funds proposed to be withdrawn are for lighting. In reply to a question from Councilmember Fasching, staff replied that if the lighting project is postponed, funds can be made available from other sources in the event CDBG funds are not available at that later time. Mayor Young declared the hearing OPEN. No one desiring to be I heard, the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilmember Harbicht, seconded by Councilmember Ciraulo and CARRIED. It was MOVED by Councilmember Ciraulo, seconded by Councilmember Harbicht and CARRIED on roll call vote as follows that the reallocation of funds as outlined in Cost Summary dated May IS, 1990 be APPROVED, and that the City Manager be AUTHORIZED to execute the Memo of Understanding to be submitted to the County. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Councilmembers Ciraulo, Fasching, Harbicht and Young None Councilmember Gilb BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS Earlier this year the former City Librarian had submitted a letter outlining the expansion needs of the Library, Following this, he had sent a notice of intent to apply for State funds under the provisions of Proposition 85, Library Construction Program, to the California State Library. Proposition 85 provides matching funds for library construction giving libraries an opportunity to receive 65% funding from the State for any approved library construction project, In order to comply with the requirements of this application, the Library must provide both a library building program from a licensed consultant and a conceptual plan from a licensed architect. Cost estimates and engineering reports may be required, The City of Arcadia must also show 35% of the funds have been set aside at the time the application is submitted. This application must be completed by November 16, 1990. The cost of completing the application could range from $40,000 to $lOO,OOO. It is estimated that the building project could eventually cost approximately $7,000,000. Since there has been far more money requested by libraries than is currently available, it is estimated that Arcadia has less than a 20% chance of receiving any funds. However, if Arcadia is to meet the November deadline for submission of the application, it is necessary to start immediately so that the consultants and architect will have time to prepare the necessary estimates and plans. 1 A lengthy discussion ensued with Councilmember Fasching stating that he would like additional time to consider this matter, He would like to set up a study session in order that Council might consider long-range plans such as this Library expansion, He felt the amount of money involved in preparing the application was very high when only a 20% chance of approval was anticipated, Mayor Young felt the City should try to obtain the funds. Councilmember Ciraulo noted that since the Library needs to be expanded in the future anyway, the plans will ,already be in place. Councilmember Harbicht agreed that there is a need to expand; the City should try to v:' if 5/lS/90 -4- I 1 32:0l07 get this money; but will plan to move ahead in any event. The City Manager pointed out that 65% is a large percentage of the necessary funds in the event the City should be granted them, If not, the conceptual plans will be completed for the future. It was then MOVED by Councilmember Harbicht, seconded by Mayor Young and CARRIED on roll call vote as follows that the expenditure of funds required to proceed with the application to the California State Library for funds for the Library building project be AUTHORIZED.

AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION o fS7J - ;)0 The City Manager introduced Bill Kern, the City Council's - appointee to the newly formed San Gabriel Valley Mosquito SGV HOs tX,/.IIIO Abatement District, Mr. Kern is also the Director of Medical Services, Los Angeles County. Material had been provided to Council concerning the newly-formed Abatement District, particularly the Abatement District's proposal for assessment to provide for mosquito abatement for the next fiscal year. It is Mr. Kern's intention, representing the City, toyote for this assessemnt at the next Board Meeting. Mayor Young inquired if this would involve the use of malathion. Mr. Kern replied it would not, also that the mosquito abatement program is an on-the-ground spraying program which is very selective as to where it is sprayed. In reply to a question from Councilmember Harbicht, Mr. Kern said this is an on- going program which had been provided by the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services through another entity; now they are required by Los Angeles County to start funding thb activity themselves. Councilmember Harbicht commented that starting up a new District is quite a task; the Council appreciates Mr. Kern's efforts in this regard. 4. CITY COUNCIL RECESSED IN ORDER TO ACT AS THE 5.

I APPOINTED Mayor Pro Tem Charles Gilb as Alternate Director to the Los Angeles County Sanitation District Board of Directors. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Councilmembers Ciraulo, None Councilmember Gilb Fasching, Harbicht and Young CITY MANAGER On March 9, 1990, the City of Arcadia received official notice from the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), that the City of Arcadia is subject to compliance with the SCAQMD Trip Reduction Program - Regulation No. XV. Regulation XV is a major component of the 20 year Air Quality Management Plan and requires all organizations that employ a total of 100 or more persons who arrive at work between 6 a. m. and 10 a. m. at any single worksite to develop and implement a Trip Reduction Plan, In order to achieve this reduction, the plan must provide specific incentives to employees that will achieve average vehicle ridership of 1.5 riders per vehicle. The proposed Transit Management Program, if approved, by Council, will be submitted to the Air Quality District for subsequent approval. There are a number of proposed incentives within'the Transit Management Plan, Some of the incentives require additional and on-going staff time to implement; other incentives call for financial incentives to the employ,ees, which will add to the City's revenue expenditure. It is estimated that the City's Transit Coordinator will spend approximately one-third of his time devoted to the implementation of this plan. The estimated cost for the cash incentives for the first full year of implementation is $43,242, The participation incentives will only be made available to employees of the City Hall Complex, which 5/15/90 -7- 32:0110 includes employees of the Police Department, the Senior Citizen Center and Recreation Department offices which are under construction, The Transit Coordinator for the City,is David Feinberg who has been certified in an Air Quality District approved training program. In reply to a question from Mayor Young, staff replied that the City is not responsible for implementing such a plan for other employers in the City, In answer to a question from Councilmember Harbicht, staff replied that the Public Works Department, the Fire Department and Library were not included because they are more than one-half mile from City Hall and don't have more than 100 employees at those sites; however, they could be included anyway. Councilmember Harbicht noted that the greatest payoff seemed to be to people who will cause the least reduction in air pollution since they are the ones who live closeby; not much benefit is obtained in terms of the goals of the program, The Planning Director agreed in that the problem is that the formula used to calculate the ridership does not take into account the distance people travel; most of the money spent will result in little or no reduction in emissions, The City Manager said the plan was developed to try to make it equitable among the various classes and at the same time provide enough incentive for each class. Councilmember Harbicht said he thought it an excellent plan considering the restrictions the City is working. within. Councilmember Fasching inquired if the estimated $43,000 for cash incentives included administration. Staff replied it did not. Also that the plan is to be submitted to the Air Quality Management District and updated each year. Mayor Young noted that a better job could be done if better public transportation were available, Staff noted that the commuter rail and Pasadena's light commuter rail programs are moving ahead; estimated completion: two and one-half years. It was then MOVED by Councilmember Harbicht, seconded by Councilmember Fasching and CARRIED on roll call vote as follows that Council APPROVE the Transit Management Plan dated May IS, 1990 and DIRECT staff to submit the plan to the the South Coast Air Quality Management District for their review and approval, AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Councilmembers Ciraulo, Fasching, Harbicht and Young None Councilmember Gilb 9.

Staff responded that the matter is currently being studied by staff and shortly a full program will be submitted for Council's consideration. In attending a League of California Cities seminar for new councilmembers last week, the subject of Councils getting together for study sessions to exchange ideas was discussed. He would like to set up such a meeting for discussion of the future of the City; concept for things to be done, including funding of the seven million dollars for the Library, civic center development, street development in the business areas, etc. He proposed that such a meeting be set up for an all- day session with Council Members, City Manager and Department Heads, perhaps at the Kellogg West Conference Center at Cal Poly. Mayor Young suggested the meeting be held at City Hall in the Conference Room. ;1 Suppor,ts the idea.

ADJOURNMENT (May 29,l990 - 7:00 p. m. Budget Study Session) ATTEST: 32:0113 It is a good idea. There should be some sort of agenda outlining the topics to be discussed, With regard to Councilmember Ciraulo's comment about public attendance, primarily the reason people go to the Kellogg West Conference Center is that they get more privacy, rather than holding a public meeting in their own city; people are not so apt to drive to the Conference Center to attend a meeting. However, he has no objection to having it at City Hall. He is in favor of having an agenda. The City Manager suggested that each Councilmember submit ideas for an agenda to his office. Also a date can be set. Within the next thirty days, if possible. It was the consensus of Council that such a meeting be set for Saturday, June 2, 1990; this to be discussed with Councilmember Gilb who is absent this evening. Called attention to a letter from the California Arboretum Foundation expressing concerns about the Los Angeles Supervisors wanting to combine the museum downtown with the Arboretum. They are asking that the City support their position to remain independent, so they can contin'!e to do their research and keep the open green spaces, because the museum wants to build another museum-type building on the arboretum grounds, They request a letter supporting this; also that a nation-wide search for a new director be started immediately, It was the consensus of Council that such a letter supporting the Arboretum's position to remain independent, be prepared, "It is a sad duty this evening to adjourn the meeting in memory of Alan Murphy, Alan Murphy was Finance Director for the City of Arcadia.
