Dear members:
I am writing this letter to request an item be put on the agenda for your next city
council meeting.
Arcadia Christian School is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. As a part of our
celebration, we would like to place some pole banners on the street light poles located
on Santa Anita Avenue right in front of the school. We would like to install a minimum
of two banners and a maximum of four banners.
The banners would be similar to the ones currently in place announcing the anniversary
of Santa Anita racetrack I am attaching a rough layout of the banners as well as some
photographs that indicate where we would like the banners placed.
We are planning to have these banners made by a professional banner comp, ny and will
order the appropriate mounting hardware.
It will take approximately one month for the banners to be produced and installed, so
we would like to get them .up May 1 and keep them up during the 1995 year. If this
period of time is too long, we would at least like- to keep them up through the end of
the school year, which ends the middle of June.
Please let us know if there is any other information you need from us with regards to
allowing the display of these anniversary celebration banners.
Sincerely,
1�

DATE: MARCH 21, 1995
TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ELDON G. DAVIDSON, ACTING CITY ENGINEER/WATER
MANAGER
PREPARED BY: RITAA. KURTH, ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT
SUBJECT: RECOMMENDATION TO INTRODUCE ORDINANCE NO. 2036,.
MODIFYING WATER CONSERVATION ORDINANCE NO. 1930
BY ADDING PHASES VI, VII AND VIII AND ESTABLISHING A
WATER BANKING PROGRAM
SUMMARY
AB 11 requires that each California urban water supplier develop a Water Shortage
Contingency Plan providing for water usage curtailments of up to 50%. The City of
Arcadia's Plan currently includes water curtailment phases up to 25%. The addition of
Phases VI, VII and VIII - 30%, 40% and 50% water usage curtailments as set forth in
Ordinance 2036 is necessary to bring our Plan into compliance with AB 11.
Furthermore, on February 7, 1995 the City Council directed staff to include a section
in Ordinance 2036 which would provide a way, during mandatory conservation, for
water customers who conserve below their allotment to use the underused units of
water ("credits") in another billing cycle when their usage goes above their allotment.
It is recommended that the City Council introduce Ordinance No. 2036, adding a 30%,
40% and 50% water usage curtailment to the Mandatory Water Conservation Plan, and
establishing a Water Banking Program as part of said Plan.
DISCUSSION
AB 11 requires that each California urban water supplier develop a Water Shortage
Contingency Plan providing for water usage curtailments up to 50%. The City of
Arcadia's Water Shortage Contingency Plan as approved by the City Council in June
1992 includes water curtailment phases up to 25%. Ordinance No. 2036 will add
Phases VI, VII and VIII - 30%, 40% and 50% water usage curtailments to the Plan.
Additionally, in an attempt to address complaints received from residents when the
Mandatory Conservation Plan was implemented in 1991, the City Council directed staff,
on February 7, 1995, to include a section in Ordinance No. 2036 which would provide
a way, during mandatory conservation, for water customers who conserve below their
allotment, to use their "credits" in another billing cycle when their usage goes above
their allotment.

Recommendation to Introduce Ordinance No. 2036
March 21, 1995
Page 2
As background, when the Mandatory Water Conservation Plan was implemented in
1991, staff received. complaints from residents regarding their dissatisfaction with the
fact that no provision to carry forward over-conservation amounts was included in the
Plan. At the time the mandatory conservation program was in effect, the City's water
billing system was not capable of handling a credit balance or over-conservtion
amount in customers' accounts. In early 1993, however, the City purchased ! and
installed a new water billing system that provides the capability to track the credit or
over-conservation amount (called "banking").
Establishing a Water Banking Program would allow customers to be more flexible in
their water usage, e.g. they could save water at opportune times and avoid penalties
during peak usage times as long as they maintain a credit balance. If the City re-
establishes the mandatory water usage curtailments in the future, it is anticipated that
those customers who were dissatisfied with the conservation program in 1991 will be
less disgruntled next time around, and, hopefully, be more receptive to mandatory
conservation.
FISCAL IMPACT
The goal of mandatory water conservation is to save water, which, of course, results
in a negative impact on water sales revenue. However, this negative_ impact should be
offset by the amount of revenue generated by violation penalties from overuse of water.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council introduce Ordinance No. 2036, adding a l30%,
40% and 50% water usage curtailment and establishing a Water Banking Program as
part of the Mandatory Water Conservation Plan (Ordinance No. 1930).

TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Eldon G. Davidson, Acting City Engineer/Water Manager ae
Prepared by: Rita A. Kurth, Administrative Assistant
SUBJECT: Recommendation to Approve Resolution No. 5841 Rescinding
Phase I of the Mandatory Water Conservation Plan Pursuant
to Ordinance No. 1930 and Continuing the 10% Voluntary_
Water Conservation Goal Pursuant to Resolution No. 5435
SUMMARY
Recently, the State of California and the City of Arcadia have
received a significant amount of rainfall which has increased the
water supply and enabled the State to determine that the drought is
over. Accordingly, the City of Arcadia is now in a position to be
able to lift some of the restrictions placed on residents with
regard to water conservation. It is therefore recommended that the
City Council approve Resolution No. 5841 rescinding Phase I,
Prohibited Water Uses Applicable to All Customers, of the Mandatory
Water Conservation Plan (Ordinance No. 1930) and continuing the 10%
voluntary water conservation goal pursuant to Resolution No. 5435.
BACKGROUND
On February 5, 1991, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. .1930
which established a Mandatory Water Conservation Plan. At the same
time Resolution No. 5568 was passed which implemented Phases I
(restricted uses of water) and II (mandatory 10% reduction in water
use) of this Conservation Plan. Subsequently, on December 17,
1991, Resolution No. 5638, which rescinded Phase II and continued
Phase I, was adopted. Resolution No. 5638 also restored the 10%
voluntary water conservation goal which was adopted by the City
Council on August 16, 1988 (Resolution No. 5435) .
Phase I of the Mandatory Water Conservation Plan (Ordinance No.
1930). outlines the following restricted uses of. water:
(a) There shall be no- hose washing of sidewalks, walkways,
driveways or parking areas.
(b) No water shall be used to clean, fill or maintain levels
in decorative fountains unless such water is part of a
recycling system.

Resolution No. 5841
Rescinding Phase I of the Mandatory Water Conservation Plan
Page 2
(c) No restaurant, hotel, cafe, cafeteria or other public
place where food is sold, served or offered for sale,
shall serve drinking water to any customer unless
expressly requested by the customer.
(d) No customer of the Water Division shall permit water to
leak from any facility on his premises.
(e) No lawn, landscape or other turf areas shall be watered or
irrigated between the hours of 10: 00 a.m. and 4 : 00 p.m.
(f) No lawn, landscape or other turf areas shall be watered in
a wasteful manner.
In order to implement, modify or rescind a phase under Ordinance
No. 1930 (Mandatory Water Conservation Plan) , a Resolution must be
adopted by the City Council.
DISCUSSION
Due to the recent increased water supply as a result of above-
average rainfall throughout the State of California, we do not
anticipate any problems this year or next year in meeting our
customers' water needs. In addition, there is sufficient water in
storage within the San Gabriel Valley Basins and the State for the
remainder of 1995 and possibly 1996. Based on the recent report by
the State Department of Water Resources declaring the drought as
being over, we are recommending the lifting of the Phase I
restricted water uses thus allowing residents to use water at any
time. Wasteful uses of water will still be considered a violation
of the City's Municipal Code and the appropriate violation notices
will be sent to all violators.
Despite the increased water supply, a limited water supply still
exists with drought conditions fluctuating from year to year
depending on rainfall. Staff is therefore recommending that the
10% Voluntary Conservation Program under Resolution No. 5435 remain
in place. Water bills will continue to show allocations and will
indicate over/under usage and percentage.
The Water Division plans to advise residents of the lifting of the
Phase I restricted water uses by an article in the next quarterly
City Newsletter.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There may be a positive fiscal impact as customers may use more
water as a result of lifting restricted uses.
Resolution No. 5841
Rescinding Phase I of the Mandatory Water Conservation Plan

RECOMMENDATION
It is staff' s recommendation that the City Council adopt Resolution
No._ 5841 rescinding Phase I of the Mandatory Water Conservation
Plan pursuant to Ordinance No. 1930 and continuing the 109
voluntary water conservation goal as set forth in Resolution No.
5435 .

ORpORATb9 STAFF REPORT
DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT
March 21, 1995
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Rick Gomez, Deputy City Manager/Development Services Director
By: Donna L. Butler, Community Development Administrator
SUBJECT: Recommendation to enter into Professional Services Agreements ith
LSA Associates, Inc. for the Preparation of a General Plan Update a ,d
Frelich, Kaufman, Fox and Sohagi for legal services and to Allocate
Additional Funds (from the Capital Outlay Fund) for the General Plan
Update
SUMMARY
A General Plan Update has been a long-range goal of the Development Services
Department. The most recent update was in December, 1990 and the last major
technical studies (noise, land use and circulation) were conducted in the late 1970's
and do not adequately reflect current land uses, noise issues and circulation patterns.
Also, since 1990 there have been several changes in State law relating to required
information that must be incorporated in the elements of the General Plan.
The Development Services Department is beginning work on this project and is
requesting City Council approval to enter into Professional Services Agreements
with LSA Associates, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $150,000 for the preparation of a
General Plan Update (including the environmental assessment), and with Frelich,
Kaufman, Fox and Sohagi in an amount not to exceed $10,000 for legal services. In
addition, we are requesting that the City Council allocate an additional $85,000 from
the Capital Outlay Fund for this project.
DISCUSSION
The General Plan is mandated by State Law to contain seven (7) elements: Land Use,
Circulation, Housing, Conservation, Open Space, Noise and Safety. In whole, these
elements comprise an integrated, internally consistent and compatible statement of
policies for managing the future development of a City.
GP Update
LASER IMAGED March 21, 1995

J
The purpose of the General Plan is to direct and define the type of community that is
desired for the future; provide a means to obtain that desired future and express the
organization of physical, economic and social activities sought by the community.
In order to be a working document the General Plan needs to address and resolve
immediate and long-term issues concerning protection of community lifestyles,
quality of life, public services, economic vitality and environmental protection.
The recommended General Plan Update would achieve the following City and State
objectives:
• Provide a solid policy framework upon which new development and
redevelopment projects can be found to be consistent with the goals and
aspirations of the Arcadia residents.
• Identify aspects of the community which are to be preserved or protected from
change as well as identify opportunities for future development and
redevelopment.
• Consolidate previous City and Redevelopment Agency planning efforts to
establish a comprehensive development policy for the City.
• Establish a clear and logical relationship between all General Plan elements.
• Respond to State Department of Housing and Community Development issues
regarding the provision and maintenance of affordable housing within the
community.
• Provide policy in a format which is easily understandable to Arcadia residents as
well as the City decision makers and development community.
• Establish and provide mechanisms to continually maintain the General Plan's
technical and background information so as to support the Plan as a "living
document".
City staff is recommending the City contract with LSA Associates. They have
extensive background in the preparation of General Plans and are familiar with the
City, the community and its environment. They come highly recommended by
other cities for their timeliness in the preparation of General Plans and their
sensitivity in creating policies which truly reflect a community's concerns and needs.
GP Update
March 21, 1995
Page 2
FISCAL IMPACT
In 1994 the Development Services Department anticipated the need for a General
Plan Update and made plans to phase the project over two years. Accordingly, $75,000
was set aside in the current year's Capital Outlay Fund. Staff is requesting an
additional $85,000 be allocated from the Capital Outlay Fund. The total cost of the
project is expected to be $160,000; $150,000 for LSA Associates, Inc. and $10,000 for
Frelich, Kaufman, Fox and Sohagi legal services.
RECOMMENDATION
The Development Services Department recommends that the City Council authorize
the City Manager to enter into professional services agreements with LSA Associates,
Inc., in an amount not to exceed $150,000 for the preparation of the City's General
Plan Update; with Frelich, Kaufman, Fox and Sohagi in an amount not to exceed
$10,000 for legal services; and allocate an additional $85,000 from the Capital Outlay
Fund for completion of this project.

RE: Recommendation to Assign Rosenow Sp vacek Group (RSG) Contract
for Redevelopment Consulting Services to James D. Williams
SUMMARY:
Since July, , l93, the Redevelopment Agency has contracted with Rosenow
Spevacek Group •(RSG) for professional redevelopment consulting services. The
contract has been serviced by James D. Williams. RSG has notified the Agency
(Attachment No. 1) of its desire to assign this contract to Mr. Williams. Mr. Williams
has agreed to the assignment (Attachment No. 2). Staff recommends the Agency's
approval of that request.
DISCUSSION:
RSG has provided professional redevelopment consulting services to Agency staff
since July 22, 1993. Mr. James D. Williams has been the assigned staff person for
the entire period of time and has provided cash flow projections, pro-forma analysis,
and negotiating assistance on the former Costco Project, the joint Arcadia/Monrovia
Fifth Avenue, Northwest Corner, Southwest Corner, and Foulger Ford Projects.
Mr. Williams is now providing consulting services independently of RSG. He has
requested (and RSG has agreed) that the Agency's account be assigned to him for all
future work. Staff has developed a good working relationship with Mr. Williams and
in light of the data base he has established concerning Arcadia's projects and his
insight into each of the projects, staff believes that assignment of the contract to Mr.
Williams is in the best interests of the Agency.
Any Assignment Agreement or supplemental contract will be subject to review and
approval by Agency General Counsel.

ASSIGNMENT OF RSG'S PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
Dear Mr. Kinnahan:
The purpose of this letter is to formally notify the City of Arcadia regarding the assignment of
the current Professional Services Agreement between the City and Rosenow Spevacek Gro'.p,.
Inc. Said Agreement, dated July 22, 1993, involves the provision of urban planning services for
the Arcadia Redevelopment Agency. The Rosenow Spevacek Group, Inc. wishes to assign all
rights and responsibilities pursuant to said Agreement to James D. Williams.
The reason for said assignment request is that all activities pursuant to this Agreement were the
responsibility of James D. Williams; Mr. Williams and RSG have entered into a new relationship
that necessitates this assignment request. However, RSG would like to maintain a standing for
future consideration for redevelopment services to the Arcadia Redevelopment Agency. We
would welcome an opportunity to respond to any request for proposals or other requests for
redevelopment, financial,and management services.
