Doug Solwick, a realtor with Coldwell Banker, informs Council that he is part of a group sponsoring a program they call "Operation Holiday Cheer". They will display a giant four foot by eight foot holiday card in the center court at the Santa Anita Fashion Park Mall from November 23 through December 2. They invite all members of local communities to sign the card after which the USO of Greater Los Angeles will then take the card and deliver it to the Desert Shield troops in Saudi Arabia. A smaller card was provided Council for individual messages which will be sent to the troops also. Since the first City Council meeting in January of 1991 falls on Tuesday, New Year's Day, it wes the general consensus of Council that the meeting be held on Wednesday, January 2, 1991. The City Manager requested a Closed Session before the Regular Meeting this evening. In reference to the improvement of the median islands at the intersection of Colorado Street, Colorado Place and Colorado Boulevard (the Upper Y), Councilmember Fasching reported that he had been contacted by a new company who say they can install the interlocking block pavers on the medians at a cost of $5.00 a square foot if the City would first remove the black top and grade the medians down two inches. This company could also meet the City's requirement of "compatible wage". At 4500 square feet the cost would be down to approximately $22,000 as opposed to the low bid originally received of $38,000. If the company removes the black top and grades down the medians, the cost would be $5.40 a square foot. Councilmember Fasching offered the information in the event Council would like to consider rebidding the project. After a brief discussion, Councilmember Fasching indicated that he would like to see the interlocking block installed to beautify the medians. Councilmember Gilb stated he preferred to have the medians painted with the sealant as previously decided. 1 11/20/90 32:0297 Councilmembers Ciraulo, Harbicht and Young agreed with Councilmember Gilb. AB 3967 (Tobacco Products) Mayor Young reported receiving mail regarding State Assemblyman Polanco's bill to prevent vending machine sales of tobacco products to teenagers.
