It has been a pleasure working with the immediate past Council and I look forward to the year ahead. The wheels of progress are turning in our City and in many areas. Hopefully, in the next year, you wi'" all see signs of this. We have a good City, a great City. Thank you all for your faith in me and, most of all, I thank my husband, Dick. He has been most supportive. My two sons are involved buslness- men and one is very busy in the City of Irvine and could not get away tonight and the other one is in the State of Tennessee right now. His family -- my son, Bob, his wife, Sidney, are here -- and my two grand- children, Loren and Reed. My daughter and her husband, Caroline and Howard Giffis are here -- and my brother and his wife, Bob and Sandy Burlingame. And I do thank you all and I will try to do a good job for the year ahead." REMARKS AND INTRODUCTIONS BY MAYOR PRO TEMPORE GILB \ y' "Thank you very much. I wi sh to thank the Counc n for thi s honor. I would like to congratulate the staff of the City that is most professional and for all the work they have done. I don't know if many people in the audience know, but this begins my eleventh year on the Council so I've been through a few of these and sitting out there looking at Bob Arth (past mayor) who went off when I came on and then it's been a few years. But people like the past mayors and the councilmen -- people who have served on various commissions and boards and continue to service this community and I think what has made the community great is the great volunteer people in the community. I would like to introduce my wife, Ruth. I think she could probably get elected to this job before I could again. When I drive in the driveway, she is driving out going to a meeting. I want to thank her for all that she has done for the community and I would like to introduce my daughter, Valerie. I believe in the democratic process and representative government and I have always felt that -- and I have to tell this story every time I come here: I came on the Council and the first thing I was supposed to do was go to a party for a Senator who was a Democrat and I happened to be a Republican and I wasn't going to go, but Ed Butterworth told me -- it was about the first week -- and he said, Charles, you have to remember that you are elected to represent everyone in the community. I have to tell you that was one of the greatest things he ever told me. I 4/15/86 -3- 26:0084 "In representative government, you rE!p:r~sent the people in the community whether they are one monto olp, one hour old or 100 years old. You have to represent everyone' and, everyone'else's points of view and I think that you find out in this that if you do your homework and have an honest opinion on things and vote your conscience, that's all the community can.expect you to do and, that's all you can do. I have tried to do that. I think, with the help of our staff and the fine Council we have just served on and the other Councils I have been privileged to serve on and the one coming on and with our friend, Christine, in her office and all the other things we hear from the City and the community, that we can do that and I thank you very, very much for all the support that you have given me and all those in the audience who have supported me in mY past elections. Thank you very much." REMARKS ANO INTRODUCTIONS BY COUNCILMEMBER LDJESKI I "Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you very, very much. Exactly four years ago, I spoke of the humbling experience of being elected by the people of Arcadia to be their new City Councilman. The election four years ago, I felt, was a turningpoint for our City and definitely was not the cliff hanger of last week. Regardless, once again, fellow concerned Arcadians woke up and rallied behind the Qualities and traditions which have made our City the proud City that we are and I thank you for your continued vote of confidence and ,I look forward to the next four years. After four years on the City Council "of often agreeing yet often disagreeing, I will miss two gentlemen I surely respect and they are the Mayor Don Pellegrino and Dave Hannah. We often viewed things from many different perspectives, but there was always only one beneficiary that being the City. In their place, I welcome two new councilmen -- Councilman Robert Harbicht and Councilman Roger Chandler. Gentlemen, you both campaigned long and hard and should understand what the community wants from their Council. It is now time to pull all of our promises, all of our thoughts and resources together-and go forward. The Council has worked long and hard as a team to build a strong founda- tion which can lead us to the accomplishments of tomorrow. But the many promises made during the past three months -- let's try to keep three -- maybe at the top. Let's stay aggressive toward redevelopment of our business areas; let's continue to build a strong tax base through an excellent working environment and let's continue to build an excellent environment of our outstanding community of homes. Let us as Council people stay independent yet work toward a common goal in true teamwork fashion. We must be a working Council for the betterment of our City. Arcadia possesses many key resources such as an excellent hard-working City Hall staff, a beautiful community environment, a great tradition and a caring community of productive citizens. The spirit of Arcadia has only been tapped in this past election -- we must continue to be creative and perpetuate the feeling of growth of this spirit. "I would like to personally extend mY congratulations to our new I Mayor -- Mary Young, and our new Mayor Pro Tem -- ,Charles Gilb. There are many people throughout the City that I owe a great deal of thanks to -- to my original nominators and endorsors,my campaign staff, my campaign supporters and you the people of Arcadia -- just a big 'thank you' to all who worked so tirelessly as volunteers. Campaigning is a tough, tough business. I would like to introduce mY parents -- they are in the audience tonight -- Mr. & Mrs. Edward Lojeski. These are the people who gave me the guidance -- the meaning of honesty -- the true meaning of a family who cares and thanks for your continuing support through all of my personal endeavors. I would also like to introduce my in-laws, Dr. & Mrs. McKay Neilson. I believe somewhere in the audience is my youngest brother, Stephen and his family -- Dr. & Mrs. Stephen Lojeski. 4/15/86 -4-- f '. .' I" . .'~ " ,. I " l-... I ',,' '.~' , ",' 26:0085 "No introduction would be complete ,without my family. You did elect a true family into office four years ago and I think you have seen it continue and it is going to continue that way. If I may introduce my wife, Janet; my son, Brian; and my daughter, Michelle. I am personally extremely proud and grateful for thei\ love, support, hard work and understanding. All of you have been involved as much as I have. Once again, I pledge to you my hard diligent work and strong, effective leadership for the next four years. Let's, ladies and gentlemen, meet the challenges of the future head on by being the resourceful, prosperous, enviable and"great City that we are. Thank you very much." REMARKS AND INTRODUCTIONS BY COUNCILMEMBER HARBICHT "Thank you. I am pleased to se~ so many p~ople here this. eve~dng. And, I can assure you that I am pleased to be here. I would like to start out by introducing my wife, Patsy and daughter, Jill. Jill is a sophomore at Pitzer College and my son, Rob, is a senior at U. S. C. He has a class tonight and could not be here. I am also very proud to introduce my mother and father, Bob and Dale Harbicht and I would also like to introduce my mother and father-in-law, May and Fritz Barlow. This is the third time that I have been sworn in as a City Councilman. The first time in Arcadia and I have to tell you that this is the most exciting of all for me. "Arcadia is a wonderful place to live and a truly class A City. I have to tell you that I am absolutely thrilled to have this opportunity to represent you as City Councilman. And because I think that Arcadia is currently a great City, I don't take office with the idea in mind of making revolutionary changes. I like the City very much the way it is and I kind of see my role as a trustee for the citizens to insure that the City remains the wonderful City it is and we have to recognize that it did not happen by accident. It happened because over many, many years we have had ,Council people. arid cititens who have wor.ked very hard to make Arcadia the kind of community that they wanted it to be and so I am looking at this as an opportunity that I hope twenty years from now when someone is being inducted into the City Council, they will be thanking some of us who served now and that we will have been as success- ful as our predecessors in creating such a fi ne commun i ty. I am look- ing forward to working with the members of the Council and I would like to offer my congratulations to Dennis and Roger on their election and I am looking forward to working with you and Mary and Charles also. "If I could just share with you -- a few nights ago Patsy and I got out a scrapbook that she had compiled some sixteen years.ago when I was first elected to the City Council in the City of Duarte and there is a story on the swearing-in ceremony in the newspaper -- a story that I was looking at and I was twenty-nine years old at the time and in the article they referred to me as the 'youthful Robert Harbicht' which kind of bothered me a little bit because I was..trying to project the image of a responsible City father and now, sixteen years have passed and I would like to tell the reporters, if you now want to refer to me as the 'youthful Robert Harbicht', I will not be offended at all. Thank you, once again, for the confidence that you have shown in me and for the opportunity to serve as your City Councilman." REMARKS AND INTRODUCTIONS BY COUNCILMEMBER CHANDLER "I was trying to figure out how I could make a speech without sound- ing like a politician, but I think it is a little late for that now, so I talked my way into this and, hopefully, will keep talking and work with the other people on this City Council to achieve the goals of this City. I would like to introduce people that helped me, particularly starting with my wife, Jane. Our youngest son, Jeff, is here. The next important person in line is Jane's mother, my mother-in-law, Pat Niedecken and her father, Jack Niedecken. This woman is very special and her name packs a lot of clout. This is my mother, Dorothy Chandler and . my father, Stan Chandler. My mother and father lived in Arcadii-for--- 4/15/86 -5- 1. 1 a. ROLL CALL 1 b. MINUTE APPROVAL (Apr.l,1986) (APPROVED) lc.

ADJOURNMENT "-- 26:0086 years, but they came down from Santa Barbara for this so I am glad they did and next to my father is Marilyn Michael. She helped me very much. There is a fellow here, Dave Moraga, who is a Director of Finances. In the back, there is a young fellow name of John Joseph. And there is another fellow over there -- Mike Schively. He is also on our committee. Mike was, I quess, the first person on our committee and hung in there like a bull terrier. Pat Morrow, from our committee. We have most of our committee here. It was her phone number we put in the paper, not mine. I didn't want those calls. Pat's husband, Mike, is sitting right there. Is Helen Schrader out there? Because I just can't see her. I would like to make special thanks to Helen Schrader who helped me very much in this campaign -- helped with a lot of strategy and a lot of good advice. Before I stop, I would certainly like to I thank some of the employees of Arcadia -- Earl Curtis is here and the Fire Department for their support and endorsement; the Police Associatiou for their endorsement and the Public Works employees for their endorse- ment. I think that was very important to our effort and I would just like to say that, as we work, you are going to hear terms like efficiency and effectiveness thrown around a lot. I think efficiency is described as doing things right and effectiveness is doing the right things and I think that is what this Council has as a challenge, to do the right things, and when we do, you will see this City do great things and I think you will be happy with your elected officials. Congratulations, Bob and Denn is. Than k you."

ATTEST: 26:0090 MATTERS FROM ELECTED OFFICIALS Councilmember Lojeski referred to the possibility of Fire Department personnel servicing the Fire Department vehicles. The Fire Chief will be asked to provide a report on this. It was felt that it could save money and time since the vehicles would be serviced at the Fire Stations instead of having them transported to the City Yard. In response to a question concerning proposals for the North side of Huntington Drive, staff advised that- the proposals will be submitted to Council during the next week or so ... in order for Council to give direction to staff at the first meeting in May. 1 The possibility of a joint meeting with the Planning Commission was brought up ... a meet i ng wi 11 be schedul ed a fter the fi rs t of June. During the interim the Commission will be asked to submit suggested items so an agenda may be prepared. In response to a question' by,Councilmember Lojeski, the City Attorney said, in part, that the matter referred to could be heard through the appeal process to the Planning Commission ... it is a case of the property owner desiring to add an outside patio which could not be seen by anyone ... the request had been denied by the Homeowners' Architectural Review Board. I Reference was made to the ordinance concerning political signage and Councilmember Lojeski said, in part, that he feels there is an abundance of private property where political signs may be placed during the campaign period and not have them placed on the publlC right-of-way. He also felt 3D days is plenty of time for the signs to be up. Councilmember Chandler agreed and felt the ordinance should be amended to provide guidel ines. The City Attorney will have a report on this for the May 6 meeting.
