C ITY ATTORNEY "The Ci ty Counc i1 and the Arcad i a Redevelopment Agency met in a CLOSED SESSION pursuant to Government Code Section 54956.8 to give instructions to the City's negotiator regarding property transactions relating to the north side area in negotiations with Rick Smith of Emkay. Additionally, at the conclusion of the meet i ng thi s eveni ng, the Counc i 1 and Agency wi 11 adjourn, to a CLOSED SESSION again; pursuant to Government Code Section 54956.8 to give instructions to the City's negotiators regarding ongoing negotiations pertaining to the Low property or Nissan property at 333 East Huntington Drive and negotiations with the Low family and Joe Stanford. Additionally, to discuss under the same Government Code section, negotiations with the State of California pertaining to what is commonly referred to as the Armory property on Huntington Drive. "Additionally, at this time, let me announce that, with respect to the first item on the agenda this evening, the public hearing con- cerning the issuance of hospital revenue bonds, the Mayor has advised me of an ownership interest in some of the previously issued bonds. Technically, this creates a potential conflict of interest, and to avoid even the appearance of impropriety or of conflict of' interest, other than asking some questions and opening the hearing, the Mayor will not participate or vote on that item this evening. That leaves three Counci1members to vote. The City Charter requires three votes to pass any resolution of City Council. One City Counci1- member is absent this evening. With that, Mr. Mayor we may go on to item No.1." 8/18/87 f -1- 1. PUBLIC HEARING (Hospital Revenue Bonds) (APPROVED) /./'0 1>b Y , ",~ 29:0262 Mayor Gilb retired from the Chair and Mayor Pro Tempore Harbicnt presided during this consideration. Proposed issuance, by the City of Hospital Revenue Bonds (Methodist Hospital of Southern California) Series 1987. Staff report presented. The City of Arcadia issued $22.9 million in Hospital Revenue Bonds in 1980 to assist Methodist Hospital in financing new facilities. The bonds were issued in August 1980 and final payment is due August 1, 2010. The highest,coupon (or interest) rate is 9 5/8%. The Annual Debt Service on these bonds is $2.5 million and is paid by the Hospital I out of its revenues. Because of the decline in interest rates, the Hospital has requested the cooperation of the City in refund- ing the bonds. The Hospital feels they can save about $2.5 million over the remaining 23 year life of the bonds and also replenish their capital fund if they refinance. They will not extend the term of the bonds beyond the existing August 1, 2010.due date, or will they increase their annual debt service payment above the existing $2.5 million. The Hospital has agreed to pay all of the City's costs with regard to implementing the bond issue including legal fees. (See Staff Report dated August 12, 1987.) Mayor Gilb declared the hearing open and Frederick C. Meyer, President, Methodist Hospital, 300 W. Huntington Drive responded to questions and, in part, reiterated the figures set forth in the staff report. He also stated that there would be an approximate savings of $1,700,000 in debt servicing with this bond issue and that it will replenish capital to keep the Corporation going. ,George Koutsakos, Vice President in Charge of Finance, Methodist Hospital, 300 W. Huntington Drive, stated, in part, that the original $22.9 million bond issue,had been taken out to construct three major areas of the hospital: the parking lot, new ancilliary and critical care area, where they have the heliport, and some internal remodeling the surgical expansion. During the construction of the surgical care wing, the health care industry'changed dramatically, the needs of the community changed and it was necessary to significantly expand on what was originally contemplated. To that end, the hospital, wanting to meet many of the outpatient needs of the community, because much of the surgery was now being done on an outpatient basis, expanded the 'project. So the project from what was originally contemplated in the late 70's and early 80's was now considerably expanded. Currently, the bond balance ~s $21.8 million. The Hospital spent more than the original bond offering and went into the Hospital's own funds so these excesses on this arrangement are really to replenish the Hospital's own funds. This will not extend the life of the original issue. Mayor Pro Tempore Harbicht inquired if the debt service WaS to be the same or if they were goina to save money with I this issue? Mr. Koutsakos replied that the debt service will be the same and the fact that the interest rates are dropping allows the Hospital to make the face value more, thus the cashout at the front end. Johanna Hofer, 875 Monte Verde Drive, stated, in part, that she felt the charges at the Arcadia Methodist Hospital were very steep and wondered if the City before approving this request for a bond issue should not compare costs at other hospitals, perhaps Huntington, St. Luke's, others. She inquired if such a survey had been made prior to preparing Resolution No. 5370 and was advised that it had not been made. She also inquired if the residents of Arcadia could be entitled to some sort of a discount. She said she did not think this was too much to ask when the Hospital was asking the City Council to give its stamp of approval to this bond issue. Councilmember Chandler replied that he has had some involvement with the subject of hospital costs 8/18/87 f -2- I I RESOLUTION NO. 5370 (ADOPTED) 6/" ~<j, 2.

Councilmember Chandler was adviseo that it is highly unlikely that the City would ever be burdened with this obligation in the event of any unexpected happening to the Hospital. The City Attorney presented and read the title of Resolution No. 5370, entitled: "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, HOSPITAL REVENUE BONDS (METHODIST HOSPITAL OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA), SERIES 1987, THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF AN INDENTURE, LOAN AGREEMENT, BOND PURCHASE AGREEMENT, AND OFFICIAL STATEMENT, AND CERTAIN OTHER ACTIONS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH".

The City Council on July 21, 1987 adopted Resolution No. 5363 declaring the City's intention to vacate and abandon a portion of Third and Fourth Avenues north of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad and south of Huntington Drive between Second and Fifth Avenues. The required utilities located in the portions of Third and Fourth Avenues to be vacated have been abandoned 'and therefore no easement reservations will be required. Furthermore, there is no foreseeable need to reserve access rights for public convenience and necessity over the public rights-of-way to be abandoned. The required notices of the proposed intention of street vacation were published and posted in accordance with Part 3 of Division 9~of the California Streets and Highways Code. The appropriate utility 'companies were notified of ,the intent to vacate. Mayor Gilb declared the public hearing open. No one desiring to be heard, the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilmember Lojeski, seconded by Councilmember Harbicht and CARRIED.

PUBLIC HEARING (Arcadia Gateway Centre ~ Parking Modifications) (ADOP1ED) +1;1 .- 1.\'1 ~ \?- 29:0264 Consideration of modifications requested for the proposed Arcadia Gateway Centre on the south side of Huntington Drive between Second and Fifth Avenues. The applicants are proposing a mixed use commercial center comprised of 117,457 square feet of office build- ings, retail shops and two restaurants. 745 parking spaces are proposed; 830 spaces are required based upon the code requirements. There will be 156 compact spaces. Code allows 149 spaces. The ~pp1icant is requesting a modification for 20.9%'compact spaces l~ lieu of 20%.a110wed. There'will be five driveways serving the slte; three drlveways on Huntington Drive and two driveways on Fifth Avenue. I The Planning Department recommends approval of 4.73 parking spaces for 1,000 square feet of gross floor area in lieu of 5.27 required by code and 25% compact car spaces in lieu of 20% allowed subject to the following conditions: 1. That the fi,rst dri veway located south and west of the ma in driveway be eliminated and that the parking layout adjacent to the retail shops be redesigned to provide for internal circulation within that area. 2. That the westerly driveway be relocated further to the east to provide better access and visibility. 3. That the westerly and easterly driveways be restricted to right turn only (both entering and exiting). 4. That a revised site plan incorporating the above changes be submitted to the Planning Department and Public Works Depart- ment for their review and approval. Counci1member Harbicht inquired if compact parking spaces are so labeled? Staff replied in the affirmative. He also asked if staff was recommending the closing of the first driveway South of Huntington? Staff replied that they were. Counci1member Lojeski inquired if Council were approving this in that there would be a medical build- ing behind the bank. Answer was "no - only looking at the Modifica- tion for the parking which would allow that to occur". If there were, for instance, an office building, the situation would change. Counci1member Harbicht inquired if shops would have entrances on the north side as well as the south side. Staff replied probably they would have entrances only on the north side with perhaps a service entrance on the south side. Primary entrance,'wou1d be on Huntington Drive frontage. Inquired if there were any way they could have office buildings give preference to the parking structure because most people are going to take ground level parking in preference to going into the parking structure. Staff replied that tre developer could require employees to park iit c:ert.e,in parts of the site, i. e., the parking structure, so the Agency has certain controls over the matter. Counci1member Harbicht said he thought that was an important I point because there are a lot of parking spaces in the parking sgructure and they are not going to be used by people going to the retail shops and restaurants. Mayor Gilb declared the hearing open. George Grosso, Gribble and Associates, Newport Beach, in reply to Council member Harbicht's question, stated, in part, that employees of office building or buildings will be required to park in the, parking structure. Mr. Grosso proceeded to discuss the parking area illustrating his points with reference to a drawing showing plans and specifications also being reviewed by the Council. Consider- able discussion ensued regarding this matter involving the ingress and egress, possibility of traffic backup on Huntington Drive, flow of traffic within the parking area itself, possible problems of visibility due to the railroad overpass, etc. Staff expressed' concern,about the westerly driveway. Also, there was concern about the dri veway to the reta il shops off the ma i n entry 30' -0" from the Huntington Drive property line 8/18/87 -4- I I 4. ,-",. , , 29:0265 No one else desiring to be heard, the hearin~ was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilmember Lojeski ,seconded 'by Councilmember Harbicht and CARRIED. Counci1member Harbicht stated that he would like to see them extend the Yoke, not do anything to that first driveway. If experience shows that it is a problem, it is possible to come back and close off that driveway. (,oncerned about having the driveway behind the t'ailroad abutment because that is a bl ind corner. Staff wants to move the westerly drive east about 30 - 40 feet. The other matter is the 'reduced parking. The City has generally not approved this and he thought it was a wise move. But he feels in this situation, there is some justification for relief and in this particular case, he is in favor of it because parking is spread out enough that there tends to be quite a bit cf parking near each building. Counci1member Lojeski agreed with Councilmember Harbicht in the extension of the yoke. Is concerned about the westerly driveway the ,blindness coming out driveway and looking to the left, but cars can only make a right turn at that point ... also if driveway is moved 30 feet, it will be in front of the last two retail shops. Has no prob~em leaving driveway where it is pictured on the plan. Feels mixed use parking will contribute to having some areas opening up for 'parking that will alleviate potential parking problems. He has no problem with the reduced parking number. , The City Manager said there are some additional concerns with westerly driveway and they would like to move it. One is there is no median there at present and will not be for some time. Where is nothing tu prevent a vehicle from making a left turn there. Iij is moreidangerous the closer to ,the! underpass we get. Another thi ng is that movi ng it down approximately to where the first stores start will add up to fO,ur par.king spaces to the overall plan. Will actuar1y add parking. Councilmember Chandler was concerned about the same problem the City Manager discussed ... westerly driveway and limited visibility and no median. He is in favor of moving the dr'i'l€way east. Mr. Grosso returned to the podium with consent of Council to comment that he " had no problem with moving the driveway 40 feet. He inquired if the City is going to do away ,with on-street parking? The Mayor replied that probably they would do so. It was then MOVED by Counci1member Harbicht, seconded by Counci1member Lojeski and CARRIED on roll call vote as follows that staff recommenda- ti ons Nos. 2, 3 and 4 of staff report of August 18, 1987 be P,PPF.crVEC< with the added conditions'that the throat on the signalized dr'iveway be,extended past where the driveway narrows and that the westerly driveway be moved 40 feet further to the east. h AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Counci1members Chandler, Harbicht, Lojeski and Gilb None Counci1member Young AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION ./' Herb Fletcher, 175 West Lemon, referred to the problenl with the City of [1 ~cnte on Lower Azusa Road. He recalled that at one time the owner of the gravel pit had wanted to make that area into a dump. He wondered,what had ever happened to that? Staff replied that no formal application had been submitted; however the owner is proceed- ing with an Environmental Impact Report and noted that agencies other than the City would have to give approval for such a project. 8/18/87 -5- 29:0266 Johanna Hofer, 875 Monte Verde Drive, spoke again to the matter r' of the peacocks in her area. She presented to the Council a basket of peacock ~ggs which she haC; four,d in her front yard. She stated that she would like Council to take some action to reduce the number of peacocks. / 5. 6. 6a. ROLL CALL ./ Mrs. Hofer went on to speak to the matter of bus shelters in the City. Inquired how many requests ,or inquiries City Hall had received on this matter. Staff replied they had not received any such inquiries. Mrs. Hofer said she was concerned about elderly I peoplp waiting for buses in the hot sun. Suggested perhaps the race track could be interested in such a project The Mayor suggested that Mrs. Hofer take the matter up further with the Assistant City Manager, Steve Bocian. Harold Ellis, 1504 S. Eighth Avenue, spoke to the matter of Ordinance No. 1867 regarding the keeping of animals. His concern was the matter of the non-conforming uses as it might relate to the possibility of a residential development coming in next to his property. Under this ordinance, he felt that he would then be subject to penalties imposed by the City. The City Attorney stated that there had been a meeting between himself, Mr. Ellis and Mr. Ellis' attorney, David Chapman. This matter had been discussed at some length and the City Attorney did not see any reason for changes in the ordinance. The City Manager stated that the matter did not need clarification; thev (Mr. Ellis ana his attcrney)were erronously interpreting the City Code. The City Attorney had made this very clear. Councilmember Chandler stated that the horse owners are not in any jeopardy. Margaret Ellis, 1504 S. Eighth Avenue, stated, ln part, that she assumed the minutes of the last meeting were approved relating to the Ordinance referred to earlier. She felt the 'Councilmembers did not reali7e they were voting on that ordinance. Councilmember Chandler inquired if she were also referring to the non-conforming use secticn of the Ordinance and that they ~ere not .otlng on chansing anytring on the non-conforming use; they did not vote on that one. The clarification has been made a part of.the public record.

Councilmember Lojeski thought they might look into the possibility of an economic feasibility study as suggested by Councilmember Harbicht and that the possibility of such a study could be mentioned to the San Gabr.iel Valley Association of Cities. Mayor Gilb also agreed and stated that he has had ma~y dealings with railroad freight and it is not inconceivable that the City would find itself with trash filled frei9ht cars sitting around for 5 - 6 days or so waiting for a locomctive to take them to the desert or , ' whereever the trash was to be disposed of.

This amount included approximately $17,000 for additional hardware for system use by departments not presently tied into the City's HP 3000. The City has been seeking an easily operable user friendly system which will accurately process building permit and land parcel related information and enhance the flow of management information. The system would in- corporate assessor's data, ownership information, detailed site " information, detailed structure information, hazardous materials tracking, development standards, permit applications and issuance, project status information, project inspection information, contractor, architect, engineer, developer data base, Workman's Compensation insurance verification data and State license data. Councilmember Harbicht inquired about the time required to put this information into the computer equipment. Staff replied they could start using the assessor tapes and utility tapes almost immediately. Then the other information would be added from a certain cutoff date. Councilmember Harbicht also inquired if this might not be more time-consuming. Staff replied that it would not because the time saved in looking up items like Workman's Compensation, licenses, etc. would compensate for the time spent putting information into the new system.
