SUBJECT: REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 6070
OPPOSING THE SAN GABRIEL BASIN WATER QUALITY AUTHORITY'S
PROPOSED POLICY REGARDING EARLY EMPLOYEE SEPJRRATION
WMMARV-
The San Gabriel Basin Water Quality Authority (WQA) is a temporary local authority that is
scheduled to be dissolved by a state legislative mandate in the year 2002. The WQA Board will
soon be considering the adoption of a proposed administrative procedure, Administrative
Procedure No. 34 (see attached), which will allow WQA staff members that are scheduled for
ultimate termination to receive a severance package as an incentive to remain with the WQA
until their scheduled termination date. The expressed intent of this measure is to prevent
valuable and experienced WQA staff members from prematurely leaving the organization as
layoffs and dissolution of the WQA becomes increasingly imminent.
Staff's review of the WQA draft procedure for Early Employee Separation (Administrative
Procedure No. 34) indicates that the incentive package provided for in the document is costly,
excessive and inconsistent with conventional compensation for public employee separation.
Staff is recommending that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 6070 (attached) formally
opposing the WQA's adoption of the procedure in its current form.
DISCUSSION:
The San Gabriel Basin Water Quality Authority (WQA) was formed by the state legislature in
1993 to plan, coordinate and implement groundwater quality management programs and to clean
up existing contamination in the San Gabriel Basin. The original sunset date for the WQA
established by the state legislature was 1997. This date was recently extended to the year 2002.
The WQA is currently developing administrative procedures related to employee separation in an
effort to begin the transitional process toward ultimate dissolution.
The procedures have been articulated in a draft document titled Administrative Procedure No.
34. The procedure allows for a severance package that is designed to encourage employees to
remain with the organization until their scheduled separation date rather than leaving
prematurely to seek employment elsewhere as separation and dissolution become imminent.
Key elements of the incentive package include: full payment of medical benefits for a six month
period following separation, job training paid for by the WQA, severance pay equaling a
August 4, 1998
Mayor and City Council
Page 2
minimum of one month's salary and educational reimbursement for up to one year following
separation from the WQA. The WQA staff originally sought to increase the existing sick leave
buyback provision from 50 percent to 100 percent accumulation. The WQA Administrative and '
Finance Committee rejected this proposal at their July 21, 1998 meeting.
Staff review of the proposed separation policy indicates that WQA employees should be entitled
to some level of compensation upon separation. However, the proposed package is excessive
and inconsistent with conventional compensation for public employee separation. The fact that
the proposed package does not serve a rationally related public purpose and appears to provide
for excessive unearned compensation, raises the concern of a potential gift of public funds. The
funds could be much more effectively utilized for WQA operations, or other expenditures that
directly facilitate the accomplishment of the WQA mission.
The fact that WQA staff is responsible for initiating and proposing an administrative procedure
which is likely to provide them with a considerable and direct economic benefit, also raises the
issue of conflict of interest. As a participating member agency of the WQA, the City of Arcadia,
contributes $100,000 annually to the WQA and is entitled to limited representation and
participation in the affairs of the WQA. Staff review of the WQA's proposed administrative
procedure finds that the City should formally oppose the procedure in its current form.
Arcadia City Council Member Robert Harbicht is an alternate WQA Board Member. In this
capacity, Council Member Harbicht expressed the City's opposition to the proposed
Administrative Procedure No. 34 in a letter to the Chairman of the WQA Administrative and
Finance Committee, Kenneth Manning, dated July 13, 1998 (copy attached). The Committee
met on July 21 to review the draft procedure and the document will be forwarded, in its current
form, to the WQA Board without a recommendation for discussion and possible adoption on
August 10, 1998.
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 6070 opposing the WQA's
enactment of Administrative Procedure No. 34. It is also recommended that staff be directed to
prepare a letter for the Mayor's signature to all WQA Board Members with Resolution No. 6070
attached.
FISCAL IMPACT:
As previously mentioned, the City of Arcadia contributes $100,000 annually to the WQA which
is directly, deposited into the Authority's General Fund. WQA staff has not provided actual
figures on the fiscal impact of the adoption of Administrative Procedure No. 34. However, City
staff estimates that, based on the eventual separation of nearly 20 employees, the costs to the
Authority will be considerable.

FROM: JUNE D. ALFORD, CITY CLERK 9&15�
SUBJECT: 1997 -98 WEED ABATEMENT CHARGE LIST - PUBLIC HEARING
On July 21, 1998 the Los Angeles County Agricultural
Commissioner's Office delivered the list of private properties
within the City on which the County has abated weeds, rubbish and
refuse. The location of these properties has been inserted for
your information, and the charges to the property owners of the
abated properties are attached to this report.
It should be noted that of the thirty -five (35) properties
listed, twenty (20) of the parcels incurred a minimal charge of
$26.12 for inspection only of the property by County personnel.
Each property listed on the charge list has been posted and
noticed of the public hearing this date which was scheduled to
hear objections, if any, to the charges for abatement or
inspection. If an objection is lodged, you may want to have the
matter investigated by the City Fire Department or overrule the
objection and the following motion would be in order.
Recommendation:
Following the close of the public hearing, move to confirm the
charge list as submitted and direct that the County Auditor be
instructed to enter the amounts of the assessments against the
respective parcels of land as they appear on the current property
assessment roll.

DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT
DATE: August 4, 1998
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: §Ichael n Penman, Deputy City Manager/Development Services Director
Busch, Transportation Services Officer
SUBJECT: Report and Recommendation to Approve Arcadia Transit's FY 99 -01
Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP)
SUMMARY
The Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP) is an annual document prepared by staff and
submitted to the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority
(LACMTA), Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) and the Federal
Transit Administration (FTA) for review and approval. Preparation of the SRTP is
required in order to maintain eligibility for federal, state and local transit grants.
DISCUSSION
The SRTP is a two (2) year transit forecast prepared annually for Arcadia Transit. The
FY 1998 data provided in the SRTP is used by the MTA to develop future federal, state,
and local transit funding levels as well as future non - financial projections. Similar to the
City's Bi- Annual Operating Budget for Arcadia Transit, the SRTP also provides a
financial and operating plan for the next two years. The first year of the SRTP is
consistent with the adopted FY 1999 budget, and the out -year projects indicate Arcadia
Transit's direction for the future.
The SRTP includes operating budget projections estimating total federal, state and local
monies at $1,075,780 for FY 1999. In addition, the SRTP includes a capital project
justification of $27,500. The capital projects listed in the SRTP include:
• Purchase of a non - revenue transit vehicle ($20,000)
• Purchase of fourteen (14) fare box units for Arcadia Transit vans ($7,500)
The SRTP is technical in nature and the attached forms are mandated as to format. The
figures included in the SRTP are derived from projected revenues received by the City
FY 99 -01 SRTP
Page 2
August 4, 1998
Awk
from federal, state and local agencies. In addition, staff uses projections provided by the
FTA and MTA to determine the necessary Proposition A Local Return share to include
into the operating budget.
FISCAL IMPACT
The SRTP is completed for planning purposes only and does not obligate the City or
other government agencies to specific service or funding levels. The SRTP is a planning
tool used to develop both funding and operational models by federal and regional
agencies involved.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve Arcadia Transit's FY 1999 -2001 Short
Range Transit Plan.

ARCADIA TRANSIT
SHORT RANGE TRANSIT PLAN
FY 1999 -2001
INTRODUCTION
The City of Arcadia is located in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains approximately 18
miles northeast of central Los Angeles. The City covers approximately 11 square miles and has
52,800 residents. It is primarily a residential community that houses the Santa Anita Racetrack,
Los Angeles County Arboretum, and the Santa Anita Fashion Park.
Geographic terrain is divided between highly populated hillsides at the base of the San Gabriel
Mountains in the northern portion of the City and the flatlands throughout the southern portion of
the City. Arcadia is primarily a middle to upper - middle income class community.
Arcadia Transit began its operations on April 21, 1975. The program was started at the
direction of the Arcadia City Council with the intent of creating a demand - responsive system that
would provide the amount and type of public transportation needed by individuals traveling
within the City. The system was designed to provide specialized services for seniors, disabled,
and for those individuals whose transportation needs were not met by the then existing fixed
route services provided by the Southern California Rapid Transit District (SCRTD), now the Los
Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA).
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
Since the start of Arcadia Transit, the objective of the City Council has been to provide
demand /responsive transportation services to as many passengers as efficiently possible. The
primary goals of the program are to provide a transportation system which:
Provides a convenient, comfortable and realistic alternative to the automobile;
2. Is accessible to everyone in the City and provides for the special needs of the transit
dependent, (i.e. the young, seniors, disabled, economically disadvantaged and other
non - drivers);
3. Reduces the vehicle miles of travel and congestion within the City which leads to the
conservation of energy, reduces automobile emission pollutants and reduces traffic and
parking problems within the City;
9
4. Is supportive of and consistent with the comprehensive land use goals and policies of
the City's General Plan and Southern California Association of Government's (SCAG)
Regional Development Guide;
5. Is consistent with regional, state, and federal transportation goals and policies;
6. Encourages local public participation in the transportation planning process including
senior and disabled participation;
7. Is capable of managed growth and effective and efficient operations;
8. Utilizes private sector services to the largest extent possible;
9. Is well maintained and safe; and
10. Has cost and funding sources that can be closely monitored and evaluated to ensure
proper and effective expenditures.
COORDINATION ACTIVITIES
On May 6, 1975, the Arcadia City Council executed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
between the City of Arcadia and the SCAG to establish a cooperative and mutually beneficial
working relationship between the Regional Transportation Planning Agency and the transit
system operators within the region. The purpose of this MOU was to help facilitate a
comprehensive, effective, and coordinated transit service within the region and the City. The
City of Arcadia has entered into similar agreements with the SCAG since 1975. The City
continues to forward to SCAG copies of its FTA National Transit Database Report for SCAG
review.
Arcadia Transit is also a member of the LACMTA's Bus Operator's Subcommittee. The City
plays an active role on this committee.
PUBLIC COMMENT ON FARE SERVICE CHANGES
Any fare or service change would be implemented through the annual SRTP process. As such,
public meetings would be held to discuss the change. Public comments are welcome
throughout the SRTP process and will be taken at each of the meetings. The comments will be
reflected in the minutes of the meeting and addressed in the SRTP.
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION DURING FY 1999
During FY 1999, the City is planning to hold several public meetings regarding its transportation
service. Similar to public meetings held in FY 1996, the Transportation Services Officer will hold -
two meetings at the Arcadia Senior Citizens' Commission. The purpose of the meetings will be
to receive input from the Senior Citizen passenger -type group that constitutes approximately
30% of the system's ridership. In addition, the Transportation Services Officer will follow -up on
issues regarding system operations related to service levels, fares, privatization and vehicle
maintenance as discussed in FY 1996. Notices on both meetings will properly posted in
Arcadia Transit vehicles and in local newspapers in accordance with City procedures for public
hearings.
All public meetings will be held in ADA accessible facilities that complied with the accessibility
requirements set forth in the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990
RIDE SHARE ORGANIZATION
The City and its contractor cooperate with Southern California Rideshare and LACMTA's
telephone information services by providing updated service information, coordinated marketing
programs and coordinated planning including dispatcher response to ride sharing inquiries. The
City maintains open communication with its surrounding cities regarding the potential for
coordinated services.
FTA. SCAG AND LACMTA COMMENTS TO THE 1998 SHORT RANGE TRANSIT PLAN
No comments were received from FTA, SCAG or LACMTA on the 1998 SRTP.

weekends.
2. Response time: Average 14 minutes. Average vehicle traveling time is
approximately 15 minutes. Average trip length is approximately 3.6 miles.
3. Service area: Approximately eleven square miles.
4. Fare structure: $75 full fare and $.25 for seniors, disabled or anyone showing a
valid DMV ID or placard, Medicare card or doctor's note describing their disability.
Type of service offered: Curb to curb with pre - booked or on demand service
available. No charter or fixed route services are offered.
6. Operations: The City of Arcadia administers Arcadia Transit. Dispatching, vehicle
operations, vehicle maintenance, personnel administration, driver training and
data collection is conducted by San Gabriel Transit, Inc. located at 11765
Goldring Road in Arcadia. The City pays a flat rate of $26.75 per vehicle hour for
services provided at least 5.2 passengers per vehicle hour. The hourly rate is
reduced $1.00 for each tenth below the 5.2 target. A new agreement between
the City and the system operator was entered into in October 1994.
Other paratransit services operating in the northern San Gabriel Valley include Monrovia,
Pasadena, Sierra Madre and Temple City which are all services developed and funded from the
Proposition A Incentive Programs as well as local funds. These services regularly bring riders
to the Arcadia City limits to be transported by Arcadia Transit. Currently, the City coordinates
passenger pickups with Monrovia Transit and the Pasadena Dial -A -Ride. The LACMTA and
Foothill Transit operate fixed route service on major arterials within the City. The City assists the
LACMTA and Foothill Transit with its public information efforts and provides for distribution of
information materials at public facilities throughout the City.
The present relationship between Arcadia Transit and the two fixed route operators is a
complimentary one. The LACMTA and Foothill Transit's systems are primarily oriented toward
long haul or inter -city transportation needs while Arcadia Transit service connects any two
points within the City. Because of the demand - response service, LACMTA and Foothill Transit
systems are accessible to all Arcadians. Together, the two systems provide geographical and
functional equity in the allocation of transit services, as well as a balance of transit services
which meet both outer and inter - community trips.

Fleet Inventory and Vehicle Maintenance
The current operating fleet of Arcadia Transit consists of 18 vehicles. The vehicle inventory
includes seven 1998 nine - passenger vans, four 1995 nine - passenger vans, five 1995 five
passenger sedans and three 1989 nine passenger vans. Three eleven - passenger vans and -
will arrive in late July 1998 and will replace the 1989 vehicles. All vehicles are owned by the City
of Arcadia and are maintained by San Gabriel Transit, Inc.
Currently, the City monitors all vehicle breakdowns and repair forms. In addition, the City's
contract with the operator sets forth standards for vehicle maintenance.
Energy Contingency
The City does not have an energy contingency reserve fleet.
Spare Ratio Vehicles
The City's spare ratio consists of two vehicles or 11 % of the 18 vehicle fleet.
Privatization
The City is proud of the extent of private sector involvement relating to Arcadia Transit. One
hundred percent (100 %) of the operating budget and over seventy -five percent (75 %) of the
total budget of Arcadia Transit goes to the private sector provider under contract with the City.
In addition, the City consistently uses the private sector to provide all capital projects.
EVALUATION OF SERVICE AND IMPROVEMENTS
Service Improvements
The transportation consulting firm of Booz -Allen & Hamilton, Inc. was contracted with by
LACMTA to complete a Triennial Performance Audit of Arcadia Transit. The report documents
the audit findings, conclusions and recommendations in the areas of progress against prior
audit recommendations, TDA and TPM data reporting compliance and trends, use of goals and
objectives and functional area performance. For details on the recommendations made on the
audit, please see Table L -6.
R
The City continually evaluates the system through the utilization of performance indicators which
are collected by the system operator on a biweekly basis. Paratransit services are reviewed by
hour of day to help analyze system demands and to identify inefficient dispatching practices.
Arcadia Transit's peak hours range from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
when seniors, students and shoppers utilize the system for essential transportation needs.
According to the City's existing service contract, the contractor is to provide vehicle hours of
service in response to system demands, thus there are not guaranteed vehicle hour
requirements and no vehicle hour caps. As a result, the operator is available to dispatch
vehicles on an as needed basis to meet system demand and to remove vehicles when demand
is at a low point without being subject to any contractual penalties or financial disincentives.
System efficiency and dispatch monitoring is achieved through utilization of data which details
passengers per hour, passengers per mile, response time and review of passenger complaints
PERFORMANCE MEASURES
Arcadia Transit's performance measures include passengers per vehicle hour and mile, subsidy
per passenger, cost per passenger, cost per mile, percent no loads and total vehicle hour costs.
All performance measures are developed in a biweekly report generated on the operator's
microcomputer that is owned by the City. In addition to the performance measures, the City
maintains accurate records related to weekly vehicle hours, vehicle mileage, orders received,
no-loads, full fare passengers, senior and disabled passengers, fare revenue, maintenance
costs and total gallons of gasoline consumed. All material is maintained on a weekly basis and
reports are generated with the City's and the operator's microcomputers. Decisions related to
system efficiency, service provisions, and system analysis are based upon the data that is
collected as detailed above. In addition, the City frequently receives feedback from system
users in an attempt to identify system problems, shortcomings or positive points.
In recent years, Arcadia Transit unlinked passenger ridership has dropped slightly. The
ridership deflection is the result of changing demographics and the implementation of Los
Angeles County's ADA Complimentary Paratransit Program Access Services, Inc.
RECOMMENDED OPERATING AND CAPITAL PLAN
Operating Plan
7
Arcadia Transit is planning no new service increase or decreases for FY 1999 or other years
covered under this plan unless reduction in revenues force changes. Staff analysis indicates
that service is utilized during all existing service hours and that the system operator is able to
dispatch vehicles in an efficient manner that coincides with system demands. There are no
service extensions or restructured services planned for FY 1999 or additional years covered
under this plan.
Capital Project Justification
The City proposed capital program is intended to meet existing conditions. The plan consists of:
the purchase of one non - revenue transit vehicle for system supervision and administration. The
non - revenue transit vehicle will replace the existing vehicle that is over 12 years old and has
accumulated over 153,000 miles. Currently, this vehicle is not efficient to operate or to
maintain. The total cost of the non - revenue vehicle is expected to be $20,000.
The plan also calls for the purchase of fourteen (14) farebox units. The Arcadia Transit system
has never used any type of farebox technology in the past. The inclusion of farebox units on
the Arcadia Transit fleet will provide for additional fare security and the ability to reconcile the
farebox revenues with daily ridership. The total cost of the fourteen (14) farebox units is
expected to be $7,500.
Handicapped Accessibility
In accordance to Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Section 317(c) of the Surface
Transportation Assistance Act of 1982 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, Arcadia
Transit has an approved Handicapped Accessibility Program. The Program details the City's
effort to maintain its current "fully accessible" status. For more information on the plan, please
see the "City of Arcadia Transit Handicapped Accessibility Program."

EXHIBIT A
Welcome Aboard!
Arcadia Transit is the largest muni-
cipally operated transit system
in Los Angeles County, offering conve-
nient, inexpensive curb -to -curb trans-
portation anywhere within Arcadia City
limits. The system is demand- respon-
sive, which means the vehicles do not
have fixed routes, but instead, respond
individual travel requests as they
are received. Passengers share the
use of the vehicle, making the cost of
the trip considerably less than a regu-
lar taxi, where a single person has
exclusive use of the vehicle.
Arcadia Transit has a fleet of 18 vehi-
cles, including seven vans equipped
with wheelchair lifts. Since 1975, over
3 million people have used Arcadia
Transit for trips such as:
f Shopping • To visit friends
• Doctor's • To attend church
appointments or club meetings
• To run errands

to get around Arcadia.
How Does Arcadia Transit
Operate?
A great alternative to driving,
Arcadia Transit is easy to use:
The system operates much like a regu-
lar taxi service. To make arrangements
« r a ride, simply call 445 -2211 (TDD
users call 445 -2522) and tell us when
you want to be picked up, where you
want to go, and how many people
will be traveling with you. An Arcadia
Transit vehicle should arrive at your
curb within 30 minutes. Please be
ready when the vehicle arrives
because the driver can only wait 90
seconds for you to board.
If it is more convenient, you can
t 'Arrange for a regular pick up at the
game time every day. For example, one
phone call can schedule Arcadia
Transit to take you to and from work at
the same time every day. You may also
call several hours ahead on the same
day you wish to make a trip.
EXHIBIT A (cont.)
Remember, if you want to be picked
LIP or delivered to a location outside of
City limits, you should call for regular
taxi service as Arcadia Transit only
operates within the City of Arcadia.
Service Hours
Arcadia Transit is open weekdays from
7:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. and weekends
from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. We are
closed on New Year's Day, Memorial
Day, Independence Day, Labor Day,
Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.
Low Fares
Arcadia Transit provides efficient
transportation services for the low
fares of $.25 for senior citizens (62
years and older) and disabled passen-
gers, and $35 for all others. Payment
is due at the time of boarding. In order
to receive the discount rate of $.25,
seniors and disabled persons must
possess a City identification card when
boarding the vehicle. Identification
cards require a photograph of the
passenger and are only issued through
the City of Arcadia's Senior Services
Office. Please call 574 -5130 for more
information on how you can obtain
an i.d. card.
Senior Citizens and Disabled
Persons are Welcome
Arcadia Transit has specially designed
vans that offer wheelchair lifts and
plenty of room for comfortable seating.
In addition, each of our drivers has
been specially trained to be able to
accommodate the needs of senior
citizens and disabled riders. Should
you need a van with a wheelchair
lift, please specify this when making
your call.
A telecommunications device for
the deaf is also available for the
hearing impaired. TDD users should
call 445-2522.

°R "ORATS° STAFF REPORT
DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT
August 4, 1998
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: 6913on Penman, Deputy City Manager/Development Services Director
0(0 Donna Butler, Community Development Administrator
SUBJECT: Report and recommendation to adopt Resolution No. 6062: A Resolution
of the City Council of the City of Arcadia, California, finding the City of
Arcadia to be in conformance with the Congestion Management Program
(CMP) and adopting the CMP Local Implementation Report in accordance
with California Government Code Section 65089.
SUMMARY
Each city in the State ,of California is required to submit annually a Local Implementation
Report and certify by resolution to the local Congestion Management Agency that it is in
compliance with the local Congestion Management Program. For the City of Arcadia, the
report and resolution are to be sent to the Los Angeles County Metropolitan
Transportation Authority (MTA) as the Local Congestion Management Agency. The
report is due by September 1, 1998. Staff is recommending that the attached Resolution
No. 6062 be adopted and sent to the MTA with the Local Implementation Report.
BACKGROUND
The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority's (MTA) Congestion
Management Program (CMP) was developed in response to the passage of Proposition
111 in 1990. The 1997 CMP is the fourth edition adopted by Los Angeles County since
such programs were required by Proposition 111.
Proposition 111 provided an increase in the State gas tax to fund regional transportation
improvements. It also included the CMP to monitor regional transportation conditions.
Conformance with the CMP assures that local agencies are providing transportation
improvements to offset the congestion resulting from new development. If a city does not
conform to the CMP, that city's share of the gas tax increase provided by Proposition 111
will be withheld and allocated to the County to use on regional transportation projects.
To assure conformance with the CMP, local agencies are required to submit an annual
Local Implementation Report to the MTA. The Report must be adopted at a public
hearing, and submitted to the MTA by September 1 st. The Report is to be adopted by a
resolution, self - certifying that the City is in conformance with the CMP. In order to
conform to the requirements of the CMP, the City must perform the following actions:
1) Continue to implement the Transportation Demand Management (TDM)
ordinance (Ord. No. 1984) and the Land Use Analysis (LUA) program
(Reso. No. 5780).
2) Submit to the MTA, by September 1 st, a Local Implementation Report that
consists of a self - certifying resolution of conformance; a deficiency plan
status summary; a new development activity report; and transportation
improvements credit claim forms if applicable. The Report must show that
the City is meeting its congestion reduction responsibilities.
The requirements of the TDM ordinance and LUA program are being imposed upon
applicable projects, and the attached resolution and report show that the City of Arcadia is
satisfying its congestion reduction responsibility, and is in conformance with the CMP.
DISCUSSION
Compliance Action No. 1
The City Council adopted a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) ordinance (Ord.
No. 1984) and a Land Use Analysis (LUA) program (Reso. No. 5780) in 1993. The TDM
ordinance applies to new, non - residential developments of 25,000 or more gross square
feet. The LUA program applies to any project subject to an environmental impact report
(EIR) under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Compliance Action No. 2
The Local Implementation Report to be submitted to the MTA must include the following:
• Self- Certified Resolution of Conformance.
Resolution No. 6062 finds the City of Arcadia to be in conformance with the CMP and
adopts the Local Implementation Report in accordance with California Government
Code Section 65089.
• Deficiency Plan Status Summary
The City must maintain a positive balance of Deficiency Plan (i.e., congestion)
"credits ". Based on the "credits" granted for demolitions, and for past, as well as
current regional transportation improvements (e.g., 10,000 "credits" for the reduced
Reso. 6062 - CMP Conformance Report
August 4, 1998
page 2
traffic due to satellite wagering at Santa Anita, and the ongoing implementation of the
TDM Ordinance) and the "debits" accumulated due to new development, the City of
Arcadia, as of May 31, 1998, has a positive balance of 9,155 congestion "credits ".
Therefore, the City is in conformance with the CMP.
• New Development Activity Report
The CMP requires that cities mitigate traffic congestion resulting from new
development. The CMP applies congestion "debits" to new development, and
congestion "credits" for demolition. Cities are required to track all new development
activity to determine the amount of congestion "debits" that must be mitigated, and may
adjust the amount of "debits" by applying "credits" for demolitions.
At the beginning of this reporting period (June 1, 1997 to May 31, 1998) the City of
Arcadia had a balance of 8,710 congestion "credits ". During this period, the City
accumulated 2,062 congestion "debits" as a result of new development activity, and
2,467 "credits" due to demolitions. The net result of this reporting period is an
increase of 405 "credits" for a balance of 9,155 "credits ".
• Transportation Improvements Credit Claims
Cities may submit to the MTA a list of regional transportation improvements. Those
improvements that reduce regional congestion are awarded congestion "credits ". For
this reporting period, the continued implementation of the TDM ordinance earned 40
congestion "credits ".
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The adoption of a Local Implementation Report is not subject to the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The development or adoption of regional
transportation improvement programs are exempt by statute (CEQA Guidelines Section
15276). Any local projects, however, that are to be implemented pursuant to a regional
transportation program would be subject to CEQA.
FISCAL IMPACT
Nonconformance with the CMP could jeopardize gas tax funds. If the MTA determined
that a city is not in conformance with the CMP, the State Controller is notified to withhold
from that jurisdiction its allocation of the state gas tax increase enacted by Proposition 111
(Streets and Highways Code, Section 2105). If, after 12 months, a city still has not
conformed to the CMP, the withheld gas tax funds will be allocated to the County.
Reso. 6062 — CMP Conformance Report
August 4, 1998
page 3
For the City of Arcadia, the amount that is subject to CMP conformance is approximately
$314,000.00.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the following:
A) That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 6062: A Resolution of the City Council
of the City of Arcadia, California, finding the City of Arcadia to be in conformance
with the Congestion Management Program (CMP) and adopting the CMP Local
Implementation Report in accordance with California Government Code Section
65089; and,
B) Direct the City Clerk to transmit a signed copy of the Resolution to the Los Angeles
County Metropolitan Transportation Authority by September 1, 1998.

TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Pat Malloy, Maintenance Services Director
Prepared by: Rita A. Kurth, Water Services Offic
SUBJECT: Public Hearing Regarding State - Mandated Report on Public Health
Goals for the City of Arcadia's Water System
SUMMARY
SB 1307 (Calderone -Sher; effective 1/1/97) added new provisions to the
California Health and Safety Code which mandate that a report be prepared by
July 1, 1998 to inform the public concerning any Public Health Goal (PHG) which
was exceeded during the previous year. This bill also states that a public hearing
for the purpose of accepting and responding to public comment be held
subsequent to the preparation of the report. A notice was published advising the
public that the report was available for review on July 1, 1998. It also advised the
public that a public hearing would be held at tonight's meeting.
Attached is the 1998 City of Arcadia's Public Health Goals Report. It should be
pointed out the City of Arcadia's water system is in compliance with all federal
and state health -based drinking water standards. It is also important to note that
PHGs are not enforceable and no action to meet them is mandated. It is
recommended that the City Council hold the public hearing regarding the 1998
City of Arcadia Public Health Goals Report and receive any public comment
regarding this report and respond to the public.
BACKGROUND
Public water systems with more than 10,000 service connections fall under the
requirements of SB 1307 and must prepare a written report on "Public Health
Goals" by July 1, 1998 and every three years thereafter. This report has been
prepared and made available to the public on July 1, 1998. Public Health Goals,
developed by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA)
of the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) represent non - mandatory
goals based solely on public health considerations, and the best available data in
the scientific literature.

DISCUSSION
The Public Health Goals Report is the first of its kind prepared by the City of
Arcadia in conformance with the new law. Data contained in this report reflect
water quality during the 1997 calendar year.
The apparent purpose of the legislative requirement is to give water system
customers access to information on levels of contaminants. This report
compares the Health Goals to normal Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs)
established by EPA even though they may be below the enforceable mandatory
MCLs. It is also required that the report contain the estimated cost to totally
eliminate any trace of the contaminant from drinking water regardless of how
minimal the risk might be.
The USEPA and the California Department of Health Services (CDHS) establish
MCLs at very conservative levels to provide protection to consumers. In other
words, MCLs are the regulatory definition of what is "safe." The criteria for being
in compliance are the MCLs that have been adopted and not Maximum
Contaminant Level Goals (MCLGs) or Public Health Goals (PHGs).
In all cases, the City of Arcadia's water system complies with all of the drinking
water standards and MCLs required by the CDHS and USEPA.
Both the USEPA and CDHS adopt what are known as the best available
technologies, which are the best known methods of reducing contaminant levels
to the MCL. Costs can be estimated for such technologies. However, since
many PHGs and all MCI-Gs are set much lower than the MCL, it is not always
possible nor feasible to determine what treatment is needed to further reduce a
constituent downward to or near the PHG or MCLG, many of which are set at
zero. The chart contained in the report estimates the total annual costs for the
best available technologies, including both capital costs spread over 20 years
and annual operation and maintenance costs.
FISCAL IMPACT

1998 Public Health Goals Report
City of Arcadia
1.0 Introduction
Recently enacted legislation (Senate Bill 1307) requires that larger water utilities
(10,000 services or greater) prepare a special report to inform the public about the
safety of their drinking water. A written report discussing public health goals that have
been established for drinking water must be made available to the public every three
years, with the first report due on July 1, 1998.
Senate Bill 1307 added Section 116470 to the California Health and Safety Code. This
report has been prepared to address the requirements as set forth in that section. It is
based on water quality analyses during the 1997 calendar year or, if certain analyses
were not performed that year, the most recent data available. The report has been
designed to be as informative as possible, without unnecessarily duplicating the
information contained in the Annual Water Quality Reports which are mailed to
customers in the spring of each year.
2.0 Identification of Contaminants
Public Health Goals (PHGs) are water quality goals set by the Cal -EPA Office of
Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA). PHGs are not enforceable and
are not required to be met by any public water system. Maximum contaminant level
goals (MCLGs) are the federal equivalent of PHGs.
Section 116470(b)(1) of the Health and Safety Code requires that public water systems
serving more than 10,000 service connections identify each contaminant detected in
drinking water that exceeded the applicable PHG. Section 116470(f) requires that
MCLGs be used for comparison if there is no applicable PHG.
The City of Arcadia water system has 13,165 service connections. The following
constituents were detected at one or more locations within the drinking water system at
levels which sometimes exceeded the PHG (or MCLG if there is no PHG):
• total coliform bacteria
• tetrachloroethylene (PCE)
• trichloroethylene (TCE)
• copper
The accompanying chart shows the applicable PHG or MCLG for each contaminant
identified above. It compares these to the maximum, minimum, and average levels of
each contaminant in drinking water supplied by the City of Arcadia in 1997.
1
,r. . lk
None of the contaminants shown on the accompanying chart violated the applicable
maximum contaminant levels (MCLs), which are the enforceable safe drinking water
standards that water systems must meet. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) and the State of California Department of Health Services (DOHS) establish
MCLs at very conservative levels that protect human health. The City of Arcadia water
system met and /or surpassed these regulatory standards.
3.0 Numerical Public Health Risks
Section 116470(b)(2) of the Health and Safety Code requires disclosure of the
numerical public health risk, determined by OEHHA, associated with the MCLs and
PHGs or MCLGs.
OEHHA has determined that an exact numerical risk is not applicable to PCE and
copper. For TCE, OEHHA has determined that the risk associated with the MCLG is
zero and the risk associated with the MCL is six in a million over a long period. For
total coliform bacteria, no information has been provided by OEHHA. (Reference:
Letter from Joan Denton, Director, OEHHA, to Dan Smith, Manager of Regulatory
Affairs, Association of California Water Agencies, June 2, 1998)
4.0 Identification of Risk Categories
Section 116470(b)(3) of the Health and Safety Code requires identification of the
category of risk to public health associated with exposure to the contaminant in
drinking water, including a brief, plainly worded description of those terms. The risk
categories and definitions for the contaminants identified above are shown on the
accompanying chart. (Reference: Letter from Joan Denton, Director, OEHHA, to Dan
Smith, Manager of Regulatory Affairs, Association of California Water Agencies, June
2, 1998)
5.0 Description of Best Available Technology
Section 116470(b)(4) of the Health and Safety Code requires a description of the best
available technology (BAT), if any is available on a commercial basis, to remove or
reduce the concentrations of the contaminants identified above. The BATS are shown
on the accompanying chart.
6.0 Costs of Using Best Available Technologies and Intended Actions
Section 116470(b)(5) of the Health and Safety Code requires an estimate of the
aggregate cost and cost per customer of utilizing the BATS previously identified to
reduce the concentration of a contaminant to a level at or below the PHG or MCLG.
(In this report, a "customer" was interpreted to be a single household, or a single
service connection.) In addition, Section 116470(b)(6) requires a brief description of
K
4ft* la.
any actions the water purveyor intends to take to reduce the concentration of the
contaminant and the basis for that decision.
Shown in the accompanying chart are the estimated total annual costs for the BATS,
including both capital costs spread out over 20 years and annual operation and
maintenance costs. These cost estimates are discussed below along with the intended
actions on the part of the City of Arcadia.
Total Coliform Bacteria- The BAT for treating coliform organisms in drinking water
has been determined by EPA to be disinfection. The City of Arcadia already disinfects
all the water that is served to the public. Chlorine is used to treat the water because it is
a very effective disinfectant and residual concentrations can be maintained to guard
against biological contamination in the water distribution system.
Coliform bacteria are indicator organisms that are ubiquitous in nature and are not
generally considered harmful. If a positive drinking water sample is found, it indicates
a potential problem that needs to be investigated and followed up with additional
sampling. It is not at all unusual for a system to have an occasional positive sample.
Although the MCLG for total coliforms was set at 0 percent positive by EPA, there is
no commercially - available technology that will guarantee 0 percent positive every
single month. Therefore, the cost of achieving the PHG cannot be estimated.
The City of Arcadia collects approximately 80 samples every month at points
throughout the water distribution system which are analyzed for total coliforms. During
one month of 1997, a single sample collected by the City of Arcadia was positive for
coliforms. The results were checked by taking additional samples at the same location.
The additional samples were all negative for coliforms.
The City of Arcadia will continue several programs which are now in place to prevent
contamination of the water supply with microorganisms. These include:
• disinfection using chlorine and maintenance of a chlorine residual at every point in
the distribution system
• monitoring throughout the distribution system to verify the absence of coliforms
and the presence of a protective chlorine residual
• a flushing program in which water pipelines known to have little use are flushed to
remove stagnant water and bring in fresh water with residual disinfectant.
• a cross- connection control program which prevents the accidental entry of
nonpotable substances into the drinking water system.
PCE and TCE- The BATS for removing PCE and TCE have been determined by EPA
to be granular activated carbon and packed tower aeration. The City of Arcadia already
3
AM w
uses a combination of packed tower aeration and blending to ensure that PCE and TCE
levels in the water served to the public are well below the MCLs. The cost of providing
additional treatment using granular activated carbon on all wells with PCE or TCE in
the untreated water was estimated in an attempt to determine what it would cost to
reduce these contaminants to the MCLG level, which is zero. It should be pointed out
that these are very rough cost estimates. It is actually impossible to measure very low
levels of these contaminants or to verify that the level is truly "zero." Therefore, these
are theoretical calculations. The theoretical cost of achieving the water quality goal was
estimated at $1,400,000 per year, or approximately $106 per household per year.
In order to comply with safe drinking water standards, the City of Arcadia will
continue to use the best available treatment technologies for removing PCE and TCE
where appropriate and necessary and /or to blend water from wells with PCE and TCE
with uncontaminated water from other wells. Packed tower aeration treatment facilities
have been installed on wells Longden 1 and Longden 2, and blending facilities are used
for wells Orange Grove 1 and 5, because PCE and TCE levels were at or near the
MCLs. The City is not considering installing additional treatment at this time, beyond
continuing to operate the existing packed tower aeration and blending facilities, as the
water quality from other sources currently active meets or exceeds the regulatory
standards which have been established to protect public health. However, future plans
are subject to change as more information becomes available and /or conditions change.
Copper- EPA has determined that the BAT to reduce copper in drinking water is
corrosion control optimization. This method is capable of bringing a water system into
compliance with the MCL. The City of Arcadia water system is already in compliance
with the copper MCL, meets all state and federal requirements, and is therefore
deemed by DOHS to have optimized corrosion control. Further corrosion control
optimization would be incapable of achieving the PHG. Therefore, the cost of reducing
copper to the PHG level cannot be estimated.
The principal reason for this is that the source of the majority of the copper in tap
water is the pipe and fixtures in the customer's own household plumbing. Copper has
not been detected in the City of Arcadia's source waters. Factors that increase the
amount of copper in the water include:
• household faucets or fittings made of brass;
• copper plumbing materials;
• homes less than five years old or constructed before 1980;
• the water supplied to the home is naturally soft or corrosive; or
• water often sits in the household plumbing for several hours.
n
Awk
aft
The City of Arcadia has completed the first phases of a copper testing program required
by EPA, which involved collecting tap water samples from a number of residences in
the service area. The copper levels in over 90 percent of the samples were well below
federal and state Action Levels. Therefore, no additional action is required by EPA or
DOHS. The City of Arcadia will continue to monitor the water quality parameters that
relate to corrosivity, such as pH, hardness, alkalinity and total dissolved solids, and
will take action if necessary to maintain the water system in an optimized corrosion
control condition.

SUBJECT: Report and recommendation to adopt Resolution No. 6062: A Resolution
of the City Council of the City of Arcadia, California, finding the City of
Arcadia to be in conformance with the Congestion Management Program
(CMP) and adopting the CMP Local Implementation Report in accordance
with California Government Code Section 65089.
SUMMARY
Each city in the State'of California is required to submit annually a Local Implementation
Report and certify by resolution to the local Congestion Management Agency that it is in
compliance with the local Congestion Management Program. For the City of Arcadia, the
report and resolution are to be sent to the Los Angeles County Metropolitan
Transportation Authority (MTA) as the Local Congestion Management Agency. The
report is due by September 1, 1998. Staff is recommending that the attached Resolution
No. 6062 be adopted and sent to the MTA with the Local Implementation Report.
BACKGROUND
The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority's (MTA) Congestion
Management Program (CMP) was developed in response to the passage of Proposition
111 .in 1990. The 1997 CMP is the fourth edition adopted by Los Angeles County since
such programs were required by Proposition 111.
Proposition 111 provided an increase in the State gas tax to fund regional transportation
improvements. It also included the CMP to monitor regional transportation conditions.
Conformance with the CMP assures that local agencies are providing transportation
improvements to offset the congestion resulting from new development. If a city does not
conform to the CMP, that city's share of the gas tax increase provided by Proposition 111
will be withheld and allocated to the County to use on regional transportation projects.
To assure conformance with the CMP, local agencies are required to submit an annual
Local Implementation Report to the MTA. The Report must be adopted at a public
hearing, and submitted to the MTA by September 1st. The Report is to be adopted by a
resolution, self-certifying that the City is in conformance with the CMP. In order to
conform to the requirements of the CMP, the City must perform the following actions:
1) Continue to implement the Transportation Demand Management (TDM)
ordinance (Ord. No. 1984) and the Land Use Analysis (LUA) program
(Reso.No. 5780).
2) .Submit to the MTA, by September 1st, a Local Implementation Report that
consists of a self-certifying resolution of conformance; a deficiency plan
status summary; a new development activity report; and transportation
improvements credit claim forms if applicable. The Report must show that
the City is meeting its congestion reduction responsibilities.
The requirements of the TDM ordinance and LUA program are being imposed upon
applicable projects, and the attached resolution and report show that the City of Arcadia is
satisfying its congestion reduction responsibility, and is in conformance with the CMP.
DISCUSSION
Compliance Action No. 1
The City Council adopted a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) ordinance (Ord.
No. 1984) and a Land Use Analysis(LUA) program(Reso.No. 5780) in 1993. The TDM
ordinance applies to new, non-residential developments of 25,000 or more gross square
feet. The LUA program applies to any project subject to an environmental impact report
(EIR)under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Compliance Action No. 2
The Local Implementation Report to be submitted to the MTA must include the following:
• Self-Certified Resolution of Conformance.
Resolution No. 6062 finds the City of Arcadia to be in conformance with the CMP and
adopts the Local Implementation Report in accordance with California Government
Code Section 65089.
• Deficiency Plan Status Summary
The City must maintain a positive balance of Deficiency Plan (i.e., congestion)
"credits". Based on the "credits" granted for demolitions, and for past, as well as
current regional transportation improvements (e.g., 10,000 "credits" for the reduced
Reso. 6062—CMP Conformance Report
August 4, 1998
page 2
traffic due to satellite wagering at Santa Anita, and the ongoing implementation of the
TDM Ordinance) and the "debits" accumulated due to new development, the City of
Arcadia, as of May 31, 1998, has a positive balance of 9,155 congestion "credits".
Therefore, the City is in conformance with the CMP.

The CMP requires that cities mitigate traffic congestion resulting from new
development. The .CMP.. applies congestion "debits" to new development, and
congestion "credits" for demolition. Cities are required to track all new development
activity to determine the amount of congestion "debits" that must be mitigated, and may
adjust the amount of"debits"by applying"credits" for demolitions.
At the beginning of this reporting period (June 1, 1997 to May 31, 1998) the City of
Arcadia had a balance of 8,710 congestion "credits". During this period, the City
accumulated.2,062 congestion "debits" as a result of new development activity,.and
2,467 "credits" due to demolitions. The net result of this reporting period is an
increase of 405 "credits"for a balance of 9,155 "credits".
• Transportation Improvements Credit Claims
Cities may submit to the MTA a list of regional transportation improvements. Those
improvements that reduce regional congestion are awarded congestion "credits". For
this reporting period, the continued implementation of the TDM ordinance earned 40
congestion "credits".
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The adoption of a Local Implementation Report is not subject to the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The development or adoption of regional
transportation improvement programs are exempt by statute (CEQA Guidelines Section
15276). Any local projects, however, that are to be implemented pursuant to a regional
transportation program would be subject to CEQA.
FISCAL IMPACT
Nonconformance with the CMP could jeopardize gas tax funds. If the MTA determined
that a city is not in conformance with the CMP, the State Controller is notified to withhold
from that jurisdiction its allocation of the state gas tax increase enacted by Proposition 111
(Streets and Highways Code, Section 2105). If; after 12 months, a city still has not
conformed to the CMP, the withheld gas tax funds will be allocated to the County.
