COUNCIL RECONVENED
AUOIENCE PARTICIPATION
Herb Fletcher, 175 W. Lemon Avenue, referred to the problem of
disposal of waste and said, in part, that Arcadia has probably
more of a vested interest in seeing the problem solved than anyone
else because a long range problem has emerged for the entire County
... and referred to the probability in time to come of seeing trash
trucks going up Santa Anita Avenue and Chantry Flats Road. He would I
hope this Council and subsequent ones would take a good look at this.
Mayor Young said, in part, that ~ouncil has been fo~low.ing th~ trash
progress .., she has been attendlng all of the meetlngs relatlv~ to'
this problem. She has asked Councilmember Lojeski to be a member of Q
Task Force being formed by the San Gabriel Valley Association of ' '
Cities ... he is now endeavoring to see what kind of a time commitmeQt
is involved. She submitted, in part, that trash dumping is probably' ,
going to be a thing of the past. !
Marcella Whitmore, 512 Santa Maria Road, spoke to the consolidation'
of City and School elections. She said, in part, that she has been '1~-
volved in local elections as a volunteer for about 25 years and was '
not in favor of consolidation because, regardless of what money is
saved, the voter is uppermost. She mentioned the confusion which
she has encountered in the election being held this day and felt
efforts should be directed to the Community College Elections where
the voters only vote on one district and one candidate many times
on that ... there are many complaints on that. She felt it imperatiy~
- that the City and School remain separate... that the savings would, '
not amount to that much.

CITY MANAGER
Council considered the staff report and recommendation concerning
the lease with the Arcadia Par 3 Golf Course which expires December
1987. The current lessee, Piuma-Ciocca Enterprises, Inc., has sub-
mitted a communication requesting that the current lease be extended
for two consecutive five year periods. Staff recommended that the
status be reviewed and that this begin at this time which would en-
able the City to notify the lessee approximately one year prior to
the termination date.
The report included a recapitulation of the site and the operation
under a lease executed in 1957. The lease originally provided for a
15 year init'ial term with three five year extensio.n options. The
site is 28.5 acres owned by the City... 25 acres for, the golf course"
1.7 acres for the access road, 1.8 acres for the Arcadia Mounted
Police Building and 1 acre for the Green Leaf Growers Wholesale Nursery.
The Nursery lease expires in December 1987 also. Revenue for the last
ten years was set forth in the report dated February 27, 1986
$152,952.
Staff recommended the present usage as the best use for the land
and that a Request For Proposals for the maintenance, operation and
enhancement of the site be authorized. This would come before Council
for approval prior to its issuance. This would provide an opportunity
to test the,market and obtain the best operator available for the gol~
course which use ,was agreed by all to be the best use.
Discussion ensued on the revenue being generated and the,City Attorney
will research the suggestion, of Criuncilmember Chandler as to whether,or
not an admission tax or some 0ther method of increasing the revenue
would be possible. Councilmember Harbicht'commented.-in part~ tnat' -
one of the functions of the City is to provide recreational facilities
and this ,is real cheap recreation... tha.t ,he was not certain, Council
should be trying to generate a significant amount of revenue through,
an admission tax... the City does receive revenue which is essentially
through an admission tax which flows through the operator.

tion of working drawings and specifications; one said that 3 weeks

differed from 14.9% of the construction cost with a minimum fee
of $18,300; one $2,700 and the third, $2,500. Staff said that all
three firms are capable of undertaking the project of the police station
alterations.

. MATTERS FROM STAFF I
Discussion held on the request of the Water Division for a Test Well
and design in the Par 3 Golf Course location. In response to questions,
staff advised that the land is owned by the City; it is an area where
there would be a high capacity well which can be expected to have
a range of 3 to 4 thousand gpm which is not the same in other areas
of the City and also there is a large pipeline there in order to pump
the water into this pipeline to get it up to the St. Joseph Reservoir.
As to the appearance of a reservoir to be constructed on the site, it
will be architecturally designed to blend in with the residential area.
Staff advised at length on reasons for accomplishing ~his during~the
ensuing year and not waiting for next year's budget: Out of the fourteen
wells which supply water, five are over 60 years old with an average
age of 40 years ... that the last well drilled was in 1968. Some
problems can be expected. It was also submitted that $40,000 of the
$70,000 requested would be for the Test Well itself and the $30,000
for the design.
It was MOVEO by Councilmember Harbicht, seconded by Councilmember Gilb
and CARRIED on roll call vote as follows that the $70,000 be included
in the Water Fund 1986-87 Budget for this purpose.

The Finance Oirector exp~ained the need for a Vehicle Maintenance
Computer Program for 1986-87 ... it would provide vital data on the
couple hundred vehicles the City has, i. e., cost of operation, cost
per mile, cost per hour of operation and any preventative maintenance
needed on a vehicle and that, in his professional judgment, it would
effect a significant savings. Council concurred and it was MOVED by
Councilmember Lojeski, seconded by Councilmember Chandler and CARRIED
on roll call vote as follows that $17,000 be placed in the Capital
Outlay Budget for 1986-87 for this purpose.'

MATTERS FROM ELECTED,OFFICIALS
Discussion held on Councilmember Harbicht's 'suggestion tha~ th~
tentative tract maps, after having been considered and acted
upon by the Planning Commission, do not have to have a hearing
h",fnre the Council ... and he pointed out that it is usually the
case that no ,one speaks to the matter except on appeal. This would
save the staff's and the Council's time. It was the consensus
that this be provided for and the City Attorney was directed to
prepare the appropriate document for Council consideration.
At Councilmember Lojeski's request, staff will prepare a report
on the Youth Commission -- when it was created, its purposes and
its activities during the past few years.
Councilmember Gilb referred to a recent article in the Newsletter
published by the Arcadia Business Association relative to the street
light being installed on First and Wheeler. He felt that if the
Association did not want the street light there, they should have
attended the Council meeting or said something about it ... they
are now giving reasons why it should not be there. He would like
this observation passed along to the President of the Association.
No action was taken on the communication from the City of West
Hollywood concerning out-of-state banks desiring to begin full
service operations in California for grants and loans for low
income housing and economic development.
Councilmember Gilb said, in part, that he would like to have the
entire staff present at budget sessions,.. that if they cannot be
present, then the'meeting should be rescheduled ... there are questions
brought up and the department head is needed for answers.
