I would have done the work without them, but I certainly do appreciate them. This has been a year to remember ... and certainly a re- warding one for me. I've worked with many conscientious and enthusiastic people who truly care about Arcadia. A Council of dedicated people ... independent thinkers, for sure '" but great to work with. And I thank you ... each one of you. A staff that has worked diligently for our City. I have appreciated their good efforts; their goodwill; and all of the smiles and friendly greet- ings ... thank you, staff. "How about progress for our Ci ty ... we are as safe and secure as is possible. In today's world, this is a necessity. We are moving ahead ... not fast enough to suit some ... but we are moving. I've taken part in many groundbreakings and have seen several of these to the grand opening. If you'll look around town, there are many sites under construction and more to come. When all of these are completed, the City will have a new look ... and the trees will return to Baldwin Avenue! "~ family deserves I1\Y love and a real big "Thank You" for being so supportive and helpful. No one can be a Mayor and enjoy it without that support. May I introduce I1\Y husband, Dick, who's here tonight; I1\Y son-in-law, Howard Giffis; I1\Y brother, Bob Burlingame; I1\Y sister-in- law, Sandy; and I1\Y nephew, Martin. Thank you... one and all."

I REMARKS AND INTRODUCTIONS BY MAYOR GILB . "I would like to thank you very much for being elected the Mayor for the coming year. And I would like to introduce my family: my wife of 40 years, Ruth; my daughter, Denise; and our daughter, Valerie. We have some very special guests here tonight whom I would like to introduce. The past Mayors who are in attendance: Ed Butterworth; C. Robert Arth; Jack Sae1id; David Hannah; Dennis Lojeski; Dave Parry. 'And another hand for Mary Young'. "I do not have a speech -- I just want to say this: I want to thank all of the people who have supported me over the years that I have been on the Council. It's hard to believe I was 49 years old when this started and I'm now pushing 63. I've been around a long time. But I have to tell you ... the community has supported the entire Council over the last few years and even prior to that, this community has been very blessed with having some very capable people who have been willing to dedicate their time on the Council, on the Commissions and Boards, and all of the other things that serve the City. We've been very fortunate to have a fine staff. We've been extremely fortunate to have a City Clerk who has been with us for a few years .,. and very dedicated to the community and probably has more knowledge of this community than anyone. We have a fine Police Department and Fire Department, and many people working for this City who go beyond the call of duty to do that extra work that is really not required ... but they stay the extra time to do it ... and that's what has made the City great. I "The development that Mary has talked about in the downtown area is very obvious if you do down there. It's hard to believe that we started on some of those properties ... to buy them or to acquire them, some 12 years ago and we're just completing the acquisition of them ... or have just completed the acquisition of them. So ... Government doesn't move real fast ... it doesn't move quite as fast as the private sector ... but somehow it all gets done. And I think we're in an enviable position now because we have an area that is adjacent to the freeway in downtown Arcadia and I think we can attract some fine businesses to the downtown area that you will be very proud of ... and we've also heard about the trees on Baldwin Avenue ... which we hear about quite regularly. "I want to thank the Council and a 11 of the peopl e involved in the community -- as I said, the Commissions and Boards and all of those who have made it so great and have supported it. Even those who have left office ... they have understood the problems of the offices; have understood the problems that go with being on the Council; have noted the frustrations that we all have when things don't go quite as rapidly as we would like ... and not in our own direction. But on the Council we have a vote ... and if the vote is 3 to 2 we go along with the majority of the vote and we support it ... and that's the way it's supposed to be run, and that's the way we try to run it. So thank you very much ... and I do appreciate all of the help that you have given me and all the support " and I'll do the best job I can this year. Thank you." 4/21/87 ~ -.......- 29:0168 REMARKS AND INTRODUCTIONS BY MAYOR PRO TEMPORE HARBICHT "I would like to say that I'm honored to to serve as Mayor Pro Tempore. I'd like Patsy and with her ... I'm very happy to have the opportunity to introduce my wife, introHuce our son, pob. , "Just to make a few remarks here ... I've sai d thi s to Mary in private, but I want to say it to her again in public and that is, that 1 think she's done a fine job as Mayor. She's represented the City very well and has been someone that we can be proud of to have had as our spokesman and representative. This is the one year I anniversary of mY service on the Council... and this past year has been a very exciting one for me, personally. But in addition to . . that, it's been an exciting year for the City. There's a great deal going on ... we've talked about the development going on, on Huntingron Drive .. First and Huntington where a three story office building is being constructed. The buildings are starting to come down on the south side of Huntington there and it's not going to be very long before we're going to see brand new ones going up. And we're going to see even more -- the best is yet to come -- the' northside of Huntington, east of Second, is going to be redeveloped, and so that whole entry to our City is something that we can all be proud of ... and this is an exciting thing. Many .of these things were started long before this year but they're finally coming to fruition and so, I guess, I'm in an enviable position of having been on the Council at the right time to see it happen. But I do "tip mY hat" to those of you in the audience ... these former Mayors who were involved in the beginnings of some of this. "I think the City is also fortunate to be served by an outstanding City Council... I've truly enjoyed working with every member of this Council. I think that they have all done an outstanding job and I'd like to "tip mY hat" to them also. I look forward to continuing the relationship that we've so successfully established over the past year. Thank you." REMARKS AND INTRODUCTIONS BY COUNCILMEMBERS COUNCILMEMBER DENNIS A. LOJESKI "My initial congratulations to fonner Mayor Mary Young, again. Nice Job. Well done. Charles, congratulations ... the second three-tenn Mayor, I believe in the history of the City -- that's quite an' accomplishment. Congratulations, Bob -- congratulations on your new elevation. I'd like to, first of all, introduce mY family who is here: mY wife, Janet and our two children, Michelle and Brian. I "Appraximately one year ago I was campaigning to, hopefully be elected to a second tenn on the City Council. Fortunately, and I say fortunately, and I do appreciate the faith that the City had in me ... in my abilities in my first four years to reelect me to a second four year tenn. And I remember one of the forums that all the candidates were sitting on and the questiion came out, "What makes Arcadia a special or a different City?" And my answer then as it would be today and as it undoubtedly is going to be 25-30 yea rs down the road, is always, "The people". The spec i a 1 type of people who are here. 4/21/87 -4- 29:01,69 I "CharI es introduced the former Mayors. I ventur,e a guess that in many communities, first of all, the former Mayors never 'show their faces again in City Hall Chambers. That's not t~e case here ... you know you're involved in the City; y~u're always involved in the ,! City and you're well respected. I look in the audience and every Tuesday night we have a different segment of faces ... there's community involvement and tonight is no different. So my hat, first of all, goes off to you, the citizens of Arcadia ... the community for reinstilling the faith that we as in~ividuals have as we're campaigning. But, again, there's been a lot of talk of what's happening in the City; things of excitement that are going to happen. It's the tip of the iceberg and I've got to tell you .,. it's an exciting time for me to be able to serve on the Council... and with such capable people. MY appreciation not only goes to the Council for putting up, many times with our own individual questions; our antics; our staying on one item; but again, after that decision is made we carryon. We either walk out the door or come back in ... go on to the next item and it's a new feature. And that's the way a healthy city can run -- by a healthy City Council. My congratulations and appreciation also go to our City Clerk ~.. the longest standing elected official, I think, in the history of the City of Arcadia. Also to our staff .,. many times we as Counci~ people will ask some of the most lamebrained, silly questions of the staff .,. and sometimes it's proved that way... many times it's not ... but for their persistence and their abilities of taking our questions and having them answered in a very logocal fashion and looking at both the pros and the cons of the answers that are coming back to us. "So, a9ain, I appreciate the opportunity of continuing my service on the Council. It's Qnly going to get better, ladies and gentlemen, and keep the cards and letters coming in ... and keep participating in the City... come to the Council meetings; read the newspaper. It's an exciting time to be part of our City. Thank you very muc~." COUNCILMEMBER ROGER CHANDLER "I hate being last... you made me be first all year long... now I get to be last ... all the ammunition's used up. I'd like to introduce my wife, Jane, but she couldn't be here tonight. But she sends her compliments to you, Mary, as Mayor, and her congraula- tions to you, Charles, and to you, Bob and Dennis. I "This last year has been really an enjoyable experience for me. It/s like having a real super' big hobby and. that means that I am enjoying it and I guess I'm enjoying it because of the good company that I keep here. And when people keep talking about the quality of this staff, I just want to say that I have been in a position for the last 21 years to see government staffs in action .,. and this staff has quality and I'm not saying that just to blow wind in their sails ... they're a very good, responsive staff and I think the past Mayors and Councilmen would support that ... and they will continue to support that. So I do congratulate and thank the staff and Christine, thank you for being helpf~l with me. And that... is it." 4/21/87 -5- CLOSED SESSION l.

Additionally, direction was given to the City's negotiator concerning negotiations with Jack Kawahito regarding acquisition of the 25 foot strip between Sixth Avenue and the Santa Anita Wash. And, additiona11y,instructions were given to the City's negotiator regarding negotiations with the Low family and their legal counsel concerning a potential property transaction concerning that property at 333 East Huntington Drive. . . The City Attorney announced that with regard to the agenda item calling for a hearing on the consideration of abatement'of an un. safe building at 2501 Woodruff Way, the owners of the building have had it demolished. It is therefore unnecessary to conduct a public hearing and the matter was deleted from the agenda. The applicant (Maurice Stewart) is proposing to construct a single-story 4,000 sq. ft. industrial building at.149 E.. St. Joseph Street. Eight parking spaces will be provided on the site. Ingress and egress will be from the alley to the north and east. The build- ing will cover 50% of the lot;.'a maximum lot coverage of 60% is allowed. This proposal will meet all code requirements except for the minimum lot size. The Planning Department recommends approval of this project. Councilmember Harbicht inquired if Council had approved other similar projects in this same area. Staff replied that ij; had. I Mayor Gilb declared the hearing open. In reply to questions, the applicant stated, in part, that he owns the property at 141 E. St. Joseph Street and the subject property at 149 E. St. Joseph Street. .He has been attempting to acquire the property at 145 E. St. Joseph Street by relocating the present owner, but this has not been accomplished as yet. . 4/21/87 -6- I 3. 4. 4a.

DESIGN REVIEW (4 - 12 South Santa Anita Avl (APPROVED ~~ -1,r f I~Cf 29:0171 Councilmember Lojeski inquired if the applicant would have to come back for further approval in the event the property at 145 is acquired. Staff replied it is possible he would not, but if he develops the center one as a separate unit then he would 'have to come back. Councilmember Lojeski stated that at the present time there is a stipulation agreement with the Agertcy because of the substandard lot ... would this then be null and void in the event the adjacent property is acquired? Staff replied that was true ... if he acquires the property.and, by doing so, conforms to the zoning ordinance, the requirement drops off. Mr. Stewart stated that if he acquires the property at 145 it will be combined with the 141 St. Joseph property. However, in this event, he does not want to also combine the 149 property because of financ- ing difficulties in such a .setup ... in the event of a re-sa1e, a person would have to buy all three lots.

Member Young was concer.ned':\abou~ /tenants of the large apartment house that is south 'of the proposed project because if it is approved, several pa~king places on Santa Anita will become "no parking" areas. Member Lojeski' felt thilt approval of this proposed project would be very short-sig~ted on the part of the Agency, as the location is the last major ,corner avai1a91e in downtown Arcadia to be developed and he did not {eel this project is appropriate. Member Gi1b felt there might be.a long wait for an appropriate project; that anything would be an i~provement and this appears to be a quality building. Member Harbicht did not feel I it would be fair to penalize the developer for this reason. ~ ..., It was then MOVED by Member'Chand1er, seconded by Member Young and CARRIED on roll call vote as follows that Design Review for 4 - 12 South Santa Anita (Creative Environs) be APPROVED subject to departmental conditions listed in staff report dated April 21,1987.

They would be contained in two buildings with 5 units each which are to be arranged parallel to each other and run perpendicular to A1ta Street. Member Young asked whether this project falls under the new design code Whereby a long driveway between two buildings is not broken by something across the driveway. Staff advised that the project will have to comply with the new regulations. Member Lojeski felt that, bearing in mind that A1ta is the first street south of Huntington Drive and the fact that the City may eventually create a parking district on the north side of A1ta Street to accommodate the businesses on Huntington Drive and the surrounding area, he felt the Agency would be short-sighted in approving the development at the subject location. There is so little parking for those businesses on the south side of Huntinton now, i. e., the Moon Palace has only six parking spaces ... that parking is needed for some sort of viable development_ I 4/Zl/87 . -8- I )..
