PRESENT:

Councilmember Harbicht
On MOTION by Councilmember Gilb, seconded by Councilmember
Ciraulo, and CARRIED, Councilmember Harbicht was EXCUSED.
Upon the advice of the City Attorney, this item will be
considered under Matters From Staff, Item No.7, Regular
Council meeting this date, in compliance with the Brown Act,
a preliminary motion that this matter came up after the Agenda
was posted, would be in order. Staff explained that Council

order to keep Arcadia's options open for a potential station
in the City.
Additional material was distributed to the Council/Agency in
connection with Agenda Item 3bb, a request for authorization
of contracts with GSX/Laidlaw and U. S. Ecology; exception
from bid process. The additional materials included a request
for a Change Order to approve two subcontractors to Three-D
Services and a summary of the contracts to be awarded for the
hazardous materials removal from the Northside Project, which
includes the Kiewit East site at 301 E. Santa Clara. The
handout summarizes the four basic contracts staff is asking
approval of this date. Councilmember Gilb asked how many
truckloads of hazardous waste are on the site. Staff
responded that it depends on what the material consists of,
i. e., the asbestos could be two or more truckloads... some
asbestos is still under ground; the TPH or petroleum
hydrocarbons -- probably two to three truckloads; the lead
may be 25 to 30 truckloads. The Cummings Trucking Company of
Bakersfield will transport the TPH and the lead, this in
answer to Councilrnernber Gilb's question. In the ensuing
discussion staff noted they are concerned with the issue of
safety the presence of asbestos and other hazardous
materials on the site with the Santa Ana wind conditions and
the possibility of the materials blowing off the property,
although the materials are now covered with plastic ... also
trespassers on the site have been a problem. McLaren has
advised that these materials should be removed as quickly as
possible.
There will be an open house at the Gribble/Arcadia Gateway
Centre new office building on September 25, 1990 from 4:30 to
6:00 p. rn. Councilmembers and spouses and various staff are
invited to attend.

bus, etc.

I
The City of Duarte has requested that Arcadia adopt a
resolution in support of an expansion of the County
Supervisorial Districts from five.to seven districts. It was
the consensus of the Councilmemhers present that a resolution
not be adopted as requested.

concern that no newspaper reporters ever attend Commission
meetings. Jo Ann Scott, who reports Arcadia news in the
Sierra Madre newspaper, after speaking with a Commissioner,
requested the Planning Commission agenda be mailed to her and
was told there would be an annual fee of $10 for the agenda
and copies of approved Commission Minutes. Staff said that
the Arcadia Tribune and Los Angeles Times pay the annual fee
for this service. Press packets are made up and available
before the meeting and they can come in and pick them up ...
although no press people ever do.
The City Manager recommended that the Planning Department mail
the agenda to Mrs. Scott and include a note on the first
agenda mailed, that a press packet is available for every
meeting and may be obtained at the meeting. Staff noted that
the packets for Council meetings are given to the reporters
when they arrive at the Council meetings, although packets can
be obtained on the Friday before the meeting date also.
