OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
DATE: SEPTEMBER 5, 1995
TO: MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: WILLIAM R. KELLY, CITY MANAGER
BY: LINDA GARCIA !
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF THE 1995 CITIZEN SATISFACTION
SURVEY REPORT
SUMMARY
The City Council recently received staffs report detailing the results of our Citizen
Satisfaction Survey. At the July 11, 1995 meeting, the City Council directed staff to
place this matter on a future agenda for formal discussion and consideration.
Accordingly, it is recommended that the City Council receive and file this report and
direct staff as appropriate.
DISCUSSION
City staff is committed to providing the highest level of service to Arcadia residents.
Regular evaluation of City programs and services to determine their effectiveness as
well as their importance to the people who live and work here is critical to being able
to maintain a superior level of service. In other words, a good understanding of citizen
needs is key to maintaining and improving our performance. Arcadia residents are, in
fact, our "customers" and it is the duty of city staff to work toward the betterment of our
town, to do what is right for the community while at the same time satisfying the public
on both a performance and customer service level.
Among the many ways we can assess whether or not we are meeting the needs and
wants of the community is the use of a citizen survey. Accordingly, staff prepared a
"customer satisfaction" survey for inclusion in the Winter 1994 issue of the City
newsletter, Arcadia At A Glance. This survey was designed to obtain an unbiased
appraisal of City services and help us determine where we are doing well and where
we need to improve. The results are meant to be one of many information sources
which can assist the City Council and staff in making future operational decisions for
the City.

FISCAL IMPACT
The total cost of the survey was $7,518.92 and was paid for with funds from the City
Manager's Department budget. This amount includes the cost of typesetting, printing,
return postage and survey tabulation. It should be noted that with the exception of the
survey tabulation cost, the above figure also includes the cable television customer
satisfaction survey that was included on the back page of the questionnaire.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council receive and file this report and direct staff as
appropriate.
STAFF REPORT
POLICE DEPARTMENT
DATE: SEPTEMBER 5, 1995
TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: RONNIE GARNER, CHIEF OF POLICV0
SUBJECT: RECOMMENDATION TO POSTPONE THE OFFICIAL
VISIT TO TAIWAN BY THE ARCADIA POLICE DEPARTMENT
SUMMARY
The City Council discussed a proposed trip to Taiwan by Arcadia Police Department
staff at the August 1, 1995 meeting and continued the matter until such time as
additional information could be obtained by staff. The information was to include a
meeting with the Taiwanese government to discuss an 'official' invitation, a detailed
accounting of how the trip would be funded, an itinerary/agenda for the trip, and a list
of other police chiefs who would attend. Subsequent to the August 1 meeting, several
activities have taken place that have prompted staffs current recommendation, which
is to postpone this matter indefinitely.
DISCUSSION
The following events have occurred since the August 1 City Council meeting:
1) The Arcadia Chinese Association has withdrawn its invitation to sponsor
a trip to Taiwan by the Arcadia Police Chief and an Arcadia Police Officer;
2) Staff has been unable to meet with Taiwanese government officials to
discuss whether or not an official invitation from them is forthcoming; and
3) Local police chiefs have lost interest in participating in the trip at this time.

In addition to the above noted issues, September marks the beginning of a new school
year in which we will kick off our (D.A.R.E.) Drug Abuse Resistance Education
program. There is much excitement in the community about this first -ever effort to deal
with the challenges that drugs and gangs pose to our town. In conjunction with
D.A.R.E., we are also in the process of opening the P.A.C.E. 2000 (Peaceful Arcadia
through Community Efforts) storefront at the Santa Anita Fashion Park Mall and expect
this to be operational in late October. It is expected that these programs will provide
positive crime prevention benefits to the entire City.
The P.A.C.E. 2000 program and its various components are extremely important to our
community- oriented policing program and will require significant staff time and attention.
The proposed trip to Taiwan has, unfortunately, become controversial and complex and
it threatens to distract our focus from more important and immediate projects which are
geared toward a broad scope of activities, including working with the Asian population.
For this reason staff is recommending the proposed trip to Taiwan be postponed
indefinitely.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council postpone the proposed visit to Taiwan
indefinitely.

TO: MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JEROME J. COLLINS, DIRECTOR OF RECREATION hV
SUBJECT: RECOMMENDATION TO ACCEPT A GRANT FROM THE H.N.
AND FRANCES C. BERGER FOUNDATION
TO RENOVATE THE BONITA PARK YOUTH HUT
It is recommended that the City Council accept a grant of ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) from
the H.N. and Frances C. Berger Foundation. The funds will be used to renovate the Bonita Park
Youth Hut. Improvements include reroofing, upgrading of plumbing fixtures and painting.
In 1962 the Arcadia Kiwanis Club constructed a Youth Hut at Bonita Park. The building is
located on City property adjacent to Bonita Park School. The School District originally
maintained the Youth Hut as well as the City -owned playfield and baseball area.
In September 1981 Bonita Park Elementary School was closed. The City now maintains all
City -owned property located at the site which includes the Youth Hut, play equipment, playfield
and baseball facilities.
The Youth Hut is used for the Recreation Department Summer Playground Program, storage and
as a meeting room for youth groups. The improvements which will be accomplished with these
donated funds are necessary to continue successful use of this facility.
There would not be any negative fiscal impact to the City with the acceptance of the grant. The
donation will be credited to the Recreation Department Trust Fund account and utilized to
renovate the Bonita Park Youth Hut.

Per our conversation, the Youth Hut at Bonita Park is definitely in need of
renovation. The facility is used for our Summer Playground Program and,
when in operating condition, it is an excellent facility for both youth and adult
meetings and activities.

TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: James S. Dale, Director of Administrative Services qD-
SUBJECT: Resolution Establishing Certain Tax Rates for Fiscal Year 1995 -96
SUMMARY
The City of Arcadia has utilized the Street Lighting Act of 1919 to establish Lighting
Maintenance Districts within the City. The current lighting districts (Exhibit "A ") were
formed pursuant to the Street Lighting Act of 1919 (Division 14 of the California Streets
and Highways Code Section 18,000 et. seq.) to provide a source of revenue for the cost
of power, maintenance and other capital improvements within the respective districts. The
City contributes up to 50°x6 of the power and maintenance costs, with the remaining costs
collected from the property owner from funds derived from a tax applied to land values.
The City also formed two (2) Parking Districts in the downtown area,(Exhibit "B ") in
accordance with the Vehicle Parking District Law of 1943. Funding for the maintenance
of these districts is derived in part from property assessments and in part from
contributions from the Arcadia Redevelopment Agency.
DISCUSSION
Each year, a resolution is adopted to establish a tax rate for each district sufficient to
recover anticipated eligible costs. A separate schedule (Exhibit "C ") is attached to provide
expanded detail of assessed valuations, beginning balances, estimated expenditures and
the proposed tax rate for FY 1995 -96 for the districts identified.
The proposed tax rates are impacted by the additional costs associated with major
replacement of obsolete equipment. Where major replacement cost are anticipated, the
proposed rates attempt to capitalize such costs over a fixed period rather than recover
them through a single year rate increase. Capitalizing the costs over an extended period
avoids significant rate fluctuations in any particular year.
Attached also is a report from the Development Services and Maintenance Services
Departments which identifies the annual operating costs as well as the cost to replace
obsolete equipment. These costs serve as the basis for establishing the proposed rates.
LASER IMAGED
FISCAL IMPACT
The rates established for Fiscal Year 1995 -96 will recover the costs eligible for
reimbursement within the established districts.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council approve a resolution fixing the tax rates for the City's Lighting and Parking
Districts for Fiscal Year 1995 -96.

Dear Mr Kelly,
The 1992 Cable Act,and the Federal Communications Commission(FCC)created regulations under which
cable companies established rates for certain services. On February 6, 1995 the FCC made certain revisions
to these rules that affect how cable operators adjust their permitted charge to reflect increases in inflation.
Therefore, our rate for Basic service will be adjusted to reflect the inflation associated with the period of
October 1, 1992 to June 30, 1994. Accordingly, effective October 1, 1995 the rate for Basic service will
increase by $1.19 resulting in a new monthly rate of $12.20. The rate for Basic Plus service will increase
by $0.01 for a new monthly rate of$14.24.
Cable operators are also required to update their regulated equipment and installation charges annually
to account for any changes that occurred during the previous year. In our ongoing compliance with the
1992 Cable Act, Cablevision of Arcadia/Sierra Madre, Inc.will be implementing the following adjustments
to our regulated rates effective October 1, 1995.
