Th'e Planning Commi'sslon at its February 24, 1987 meeting voted 7 to 0'
to recommend to the City Council approval of Text Amendment 87-2
amending Arcadia Municipal Code Section 9220.2 establishing a maximum
size for accessory living quarters/guest house.
On October 1, 1985 the City amended the accessory living quarters/guest
house regulations to regulate len9th of stay, kitchens and number of
rooms. The Planning Department feels the guest house regulations are
still susceptible to abuse, particularly when such structures are very
1 arge.
Councilmember Harbicht inquired about the distinction between guest
houses and other buildings that might be on, a .property. Staff repl ied
that it usually depended on what the applicant stated. Also a guest
house may contain only up to 50% of floor space of main dwelling.
There are other buildings that co~ld 'be used as guest houses... work~
shops, pool houses.. whatever' they may' be called. Councilmember Harbic
mentioned that if the applica~t w~re going to construct a pool. house,
for example, with a playroom, it'could then be considered a guest house.
Staff replied that the applicant would state'what the purpose of the
building would be. For different types of buildings, there are differ-
ent setbacks, etc. Councilmember 'Harbicht said - then it just depends
on what the applicant calls it. Staff replied that was true and also
the City would have a record of what the intended use was to be.
Councilmember Gilb inquired about buildings intended for cabana use,
which may have kitchens and bathrooms and are legal. Staff replied
they are limited to not having'a stove., Mayor Young inquired if a
guest house could have a stove; Staff replied they could not.
Mayor Young then declared the hearing open. No one desiring to be
heard, the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilmember Lojeski,
seconded by Councilmember Gilb and CARRIED.
It'was MOVED by Councilmember Lojeski, seconded by Councilmember
Harbicht and CARRIED on roll call vote as follows that the Text Amend-
ment 87-2 be APPROVED as set forth in staff report dated March 17, 1987;
that the Negative Declaration be approved and filed; find that the Text
Amendment will not have a significant effect on the environment and

AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION
Herb Flefcher, 175 West Lemon Avenue, spoke to the matter of increased
automobile insurance rates and noted that the City of Gardena, where
the rates are much higher, has approached Sacramento for permission to
handle auto insurance itself. Mr, Fletcher did not suggest that the
City go into the insurance business,' but it occurred to him that the
City might consider going into the fire insurance business.., There
are no guarantees as to incoming revenues .. sales tax losses can
happen. In the 1980 census it was noted that there are 18,625 resi~
dences in Arcadia with an average value of $139,000.,. assuming
insurance premiums are $450, per residence -- that is eight and one-
half million dollars in premiums. The Fire Department gives a contin-
uing report on losses so,the information is readily at hand. Arcadia
spends a great deal of money to .maintain a fine Fire Department and
are,by doing th,is, helping the fire insurance companies keep even more
of the premiums,
CoOnci1member Gilb interjected that he had heard that Foulger Ford was
not going to leave Arcadia so that sales tax would not be lost.

CITY MANAGER
Recommendation from the City Manager for the retention of Robert
Hinderliter and Associates to provide sales tax audit services for
the City. The sales tax is the number one revenue generator for the
City, There are some significant amounts of sales tax that are not
available to the City because of reporting errors, etc.
Mr. Robert Hinderliter, 150 West First Street, Claremont, was present
to'answer questions.
Councilmember Harbicht stated in part, that he had read the proposal
and understands that one of the functions will be to look for sales
tax which the City should be.getting, but is no~ and inquired as to
Mr. Hinderliter's experience with other cities, Mr. Hinderliter stated
that the results had been variable, but his company had been able to
find in excess of $500,000 to date'-- some misappropriated to other
cities; some were new businesses moving into cities; and some were
businesses which were not licensed. The State Board of Equalization
does a fairly good job of allocating tax revenues, but it is possible
that they are misSing some. Mr, Hinderliter currently has 31 cities
for which he is providing audit services, but some of them have not
been with him long enough to identify results.
Councilmember Gilb inqUired about Mr. Hinderliter receiving 15% of new
revenues., would this pertain to the new sales taxes to be generated I
under the redevelopment program? Mr. Hinderliter said he would have
to get specific authorization from the City Manager before he would do
any review of a company. .
Staff called attention to a portion of the proposed contract pointing
out the measure of performance to be the incremental growth in the
local sales and use tax reported. Base sales tax amounts, inflationary
growth and incremental growth determined by the City to be attributable
to causes other than the work authorized in the agreement shall be
deducted prior to calculating compensation, In response to Council-
member Gilb's inquiry, Mr. Hinderliter said that he had data entry
assistants, He did not require many assistants, Mayor Young inquired
once he has a city as a client, how long is the service continued?
Mr. Hinderliter replied that if a city elects to cancel the service,
there is a 30 day cancellation notice, Councilmember Chandler inquired
if he would operate like the IRS? Mr. Hinderliter replied that he

one bid 'had been awarded and the contract si9ned and the demol ition I
firm notified and the property should be cleaned up within one week.
Mayor Young asked if that would include all debris. Mayor Young said
she was concerned about trespassing in that"she had seen youths in
there. Councilmember Gilb said he was concerned about the property
and also wanted to see it cleared 'as soon as possible and ~as also
concerned about the youth activity there,
Noted that persons had,been selling automobiles from the parking,lot
