TO: Mayor and City Council (,�
FROM: Don Penman, Assistant City Manager /Development Services D' �ot"
By: Donna Butler, Community Development Administrator,
Prepared By: Joseph Lambert, Associate Planner.IL,
SUBJECT:
Recommendation: Ham
SUMMARY
• Each city in the State of California is required to submit annually a Local
Implementation . Report (LIR) and certify by resolution to the local Congestion
Management Agency that it is in compliance with the local Congestion Management
Program (CMP).
For the City of Arcadia, the report and resolution are sent to the Los Angeles County
Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) as the Local Congestion Management .,
Agency. The report is due each year by September 1st. Staff is recommending that
the attached Resolution No. 6429 be adopted and sent to the MTA with the Local
Implementation Report.
BACKGROUND
The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) Congestion
Management Program (CMP). was developed in response to the passage of
Proposition 111 in 1990. Proposition 111 provided an increase in the State Gas Tax
to fund regional transportation improvements ,(Streets and Highways Code, Section
2105) and included the CMP to monitor regional transportation conditions.
Conformance with the CMP assures that local agencies are providing transportation
improvements to offset the traffic 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 may be withheld and allocated to the County to use on regional
Reso. 6429 — CMP

J
transportation projects. To assure conformance with the CMP, local agencies must •
perform the following actions:
1. Implementation of a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Ordinance
(Ord. 1984) and a Land Use Analysis (LUA) Program (Reso. 5780).
2. Submit to the Local Congestion Management Agency, by September 1 st of each
year, a. resolution finding that the City is in conformance with the CMP, and a
Local Implementation Report (LIR) showing that the City is meeting its traffic
congestion mitigation responsibilities. For the City of Arcadia, the resolution and
LIR must be submitted to the MTA, and the LIR consists of a Deficiency Plan
Status Summary; a New Development Activity Report; and transportation
improvements credit claim forms, if applicable. '
The requirements of the TDM Ordinance (Ord. 1984) and the LUA Program (Reso.
5780) are being applied to relevant projects, and the attached Resolution No. 6429
and LIR show that the City of Arcadia is in conformance with the CMP.
DISCUSSION
Compliance Action No. 1
The City Council adopted a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Ordinance •
(Ord. 1984) and a Land Use Analysis (LUA) Program (Reso. 5780) in 1994. The
TDM Ordinance is applied to new, non - residential developments of 25,000 or more
gross square feet. The LUA Program is applied to any project that is subject to an
Environmental Impact Report (FIR) under the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA).
Compliance Action No. 2
Annually, a resolution and Local Implementation Report (LIR) must be submitted to
the MTA by September lstto show that the City is meeting its traffic congestion
mitigation responsibilities. The CMP requires that cities mitigate traffic congestion
resulting from new development. 'Historically, cities are required to track all new
development activity and the CMP assesses debits and credits based on new
developmentand demolition activity. In addition, cities may submit to the MTA a list
of transportation projects that reduce local and /or regional traffic congestion for
credits. This year, the only requirement for CMP compliance is to report on all new
development activity using the LIR and adopt the self- certifying Resolution.
The attached Resolution No. 6429 finds the City of Arcadia to be in conformance
with the CMP and adopts the Local Implementation Report (LIR) in accordance with
•
Reso. 6429 — CMP

• California Government Code Section 65089. For the current reporting period (June
1, 2003 to May 31, 2004) the LIR consists of the following:
• Deficiency Plan Summary
This form (Section_ 1, Page 1) summarizes the LIR and shows the City's
development totals.
Part 1: New Development Activity
This form (Section 1, Page 2) shows the number of residential units built and
other development activity based on building permits that were issued during the
current reporting period.
• Part 2: New Development Adjustments
This form (Section 1, Page 3) shows the adjustments:to the new development
debits based on demolition permits that were issued during the current reporting
period.
• Part 3: Exempted Development Activity
• This form (Section 1, Page 4) shows that development which is exempt from
being reported as "new development activity" such as low- income housing, and
reconstruction of earthquake damaged buildings.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Reporting on compliance with a local.congestion management program is not subject
to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The development or adoption of
transportation improvement programs is exempt by statute (CEQA Guidelines
Section 15276).
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 annual 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. For the City of Arcadia, the amount that is
currently subject to CMP conformance is approximately $335,000.00. The City of
Arcadia, however, is in conformance with the CMP, so these funds are not in
• jeopardy.

TO :. Mayor and City Council
FROM: Pat Malloy, Public Works Services Director 1
Prepared by: Maria P. Aquino, Management Analyst
SUBJECT:
•The City of Arcadia's Municipal Code (AMC), Section 6434, Commercial Enterprise,
Rubbish Collection, Hauling or Disposal,, states the provisions for the City's Commercial
Refuse Fee and Santa Anita Race Track (SART) special Permit and Refuse Fee
regulations. These fees partly fund the City's source reduction and recycling element of
the City's 'Refuse and Recycling Program. An outside consultant, Hilton, Fern kopf and
Hobson, LLC (HFH), recently conducted an audit of the City's permitted commercial
waste haulers. One of the major findings is that the AMC language, Section
6434.2(a)(b), pertaining to the SART Permit and Refuse Fee and Commercial Refuse
Fee is ambiguous. Staff conferred with the City Attorney who agreed with the
recommendation to clarify the SART Permit and Refuse Fee language and solidify the
intent of the AMC to exempt SART from paying additional commercial refuse fee
payments.
Staff recommends that the City Council introduce Ordinance 2198 amending Section
6434.2(a) of the Arcadia Municipal Code concerning the provision of Santa Anita Race
Track Permit and Refuse Fee.
DISCUSSION
The City recently conducted its first commercial waste hauler audit to review and verify
proper refuse fee payments to the City by the haulers for calendar years 2002 and
2003. One of the major findings was an inconsistency with respect to the SART fees.
• Section 6434.2_(a)(b) of the AMC describes two types of refuse fees:
LASER IMAGED * 3/,
Mayor and City Council
August 17, 2004
Page 2
a) SART Permit and Refuse fee — a special refuse and recycling fee designated.
'specifically to SART that is to be paid annually to the City. SART is therefore
able to freely use any haulers for their commercial refuse service.
b)' Commercial Refuse Fee — a fee for which each permitted commercial /industrial
waste hauler is required to pay the City a nine and one -half percent (9.5 %) of any
and all gross monthly receipts resulting from its business operation within the
City.
The revenue generated from these fees provides a, portion of the needed funds for the
annual operation and maintenance costs of the City's source reduction and recycling
element Program.
During the audit, it was determined that one of the City's permitted haulers included
SART disposal fees in its reported receipts to the City, which does not apply to SART.
However, the Ordinance language relating to SART fees in Section 6434.2(a) appears
ambiguous and conflicting.. For instance, the end of the second paragraph states, "The
fee (SART fee) shall be in addition to any other fee or charge for solid waste collection
authorized by this Code ". Section 6434.2(b) defines the Commercial Refuse Fee, which
could be interpreted to be an additional fee. _ Since the Commercial Refuse Fee is
another fee authorized by the AMC, one could conclude that SART is responsible for
both the SART Permit, a Refuse Fee and the Commercial Refuse fee, which, according
to the City Attomey's interpretation is not the intent of the AMC.
To eliminate the conflicting and ambiguous language from the AMC relating to SART
fees, the auditor highly recommended; that the last sentence of the second paragraph
of Section 6434.2(a) should be deleted. This will provide` clarification on the real intent
of the AMC, in which SART is to be exempted from the 9.5% commercial refuse permit .
feed The City Attorney's concurs with this recommendation.
Staff recommends that the City Council introduce Ordinance 2198 amending Section
6434.2(a) of the Arcadia Municipal Code concerning the provision of Santa Anita Race
Track Permit and Refuse Fee.
FISCAL IMPACT
Amending the AMC language, Section 6434.2(a), concerning the provision on SART
Permit and Refuse Fee will make the commercial refuse fee calculation methodology
clear and ensures that the City is appropriately receiving appropriate fee payments from
its waste haulers.

SUBJECT: ORDINANCE NO. 2195 AMENDING THE ARCADIA MUNICIPAL
CODE RELATING TO GAMBLING
BACKGROUND
Article IV, Chapter 2, Divisions 1 through 3 of the Arcadia Municipal Code prohibit certain
gambling activities within the City. A potential occupant of Westfield Shoppingtown, Dave and
Buster's, has indicated that it proposes to install certain games as part of its operation which
would be lawful under the State Penal Code, but which would run afoul of the City's current
gaming ordinance. The City Attorney and City staff recommend that the City update the
Municipal Code prohibitions to reflect the current State Penal Code provisions prohibiting
gambling, and to permit games of skill.
DISCUSSION
The City may regulate gambling and gaming activities so long as the regulations are reasonable
and do not conflict with the general provisions of State gambling laws.
The California Penal Code, beginning with Section 319, sets forth the State's lottery and
gambling laws. Generally speaking, the Penal Code and case law make a distinction between
games of chance and skill. Games determined by chance are prohibited, whereas games
determined by a player's skill are allowed. When a game contains elements of both chance and
skill, courts look to the predominating factor (chance or skill) to determine if a game is permitted
or prohibited. Currently, Arcadia's Municipal Code provisions concerning gambling are more
restrictive than the State's Penal Code. This likely would inhibit a business such as Dave and
Buster's from locating in Arcadia — indeed, Dave and Buster's have so indicated to City staff.
The City's regulations on gambling and gaming activities prohibit certain games of skill that are
otherwise lawful under the State statute.
The City Attorney recommends adoption of the proposed Ordinance to conform with State
regulations on gambling and in order for the City to permit gaming establishments based on skill
to operate within the City.

FISCAL IMPACT
None.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
The proposed Ordinance is exempt from environmental review pursuant to State CEQA
Guidelines Sections 15378(b)(2), (4) and (5) and Section 3.01 of the City of Arcadia Local
Guidelines for Implementing CEQA because the Ordinance concerns government fiscal activities
that do not involve any commitment to a specific project that may result in a potentially
significant impact and is a continuing administrative activity.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council introduce Ordinance No. 2195 entitled, "AN
ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING ARTICLE IV,
CHAPTER 2, DIVISIONS 1 THROUGH 3 OF THE ARCADIA MUNICIPAL CODE

SUBJECT: Resolution No. 6430 fixing the amount of revenue to be raised from
property taxes for fiscal year 2004 -2005 to pay the debt service on the
Recommendation: Adopty v
• SUMMARY
The City of Arcadia has utilized the Street Lighting Act of 1919 [Division 14 of the
California Streets and Highways Code Section 18,000 et seq.] to establish lighting
maintenance districts within the City. The current lighting districts consist of five (5) ,
districts (Exhibit "A "). These districts were formed 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% of the power and maintenance costs, with the
remaining costs collected from a tax applied to land values.
Additionally, in June of 2001, the City issued General Obligation Bonds for the
construction of a Police facility. The debt service on the bonds is payable from a voter
approved levy.
Each year a Resolution is adopted fixing the amount of revenue required to be raised
from property taxes to pay the debt service on the General .Obligation Bonds and the
authorized maintenance and operating costs of the City's lighting districts. This
information is the basis for establishing tax rates,- which are forwarded to Los Angeles
County and applied to properties'in specific districts. A separate schedule (Exhibit °B ")
• is attached to provide expanded detail of assessed, valuations, beginning balances,
estimated expenditures, and the proposed tax rate for fiscal year 2004 -2005.

A special election was held on November 2, 1999, to consider a proposition to incur
bonded indebtedness in the principal amount of $8;000,000 for the construction of a
Police facility. More than two- thirds of the votes cast were in favor of the agreed
indebtedness with the principal and interest payable from taxes levied upon taxable
property within the City. This annual levy will provide for interest payments in the
amount of $203,433 due on February 1, 2005 and August 1, 2005 and a principal
payment of $140,000 due on August 1, 2005.
Due to the most recent increase in total assessed valuations of 8 %within the City of
Arcadia, the annual tax rate levied for the general obligation bonds has decreased from
last year. A resident owning a home with an assessed valuation of $500,000 will realize
an annual savings of approximately $3.72. The current annual levy is $41.52, while last
year's levy was $45.24.
FISCAL IMPACT
The.rates established for fiscal year 2004 -2005 will recover the debt service payment on
the general obligation bonds and the costs eligible for reimbursement within the
established districts.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. 6430,'a Resolution of the City Council, of. the City of
Arcadia,, California fixing the amount of revenue to be raised from property taxes
for fiscal year 2004 -2005 to:pay the debt service on the general obligation bonds
and the authorized maintenance and operating costs of the lighting districts

Recommendation: Adopt
SUMMARY
The City of Arcadia is currently a member of the Independent Cities Risk Management
Authority ( ICRMA). In order for our excess workers' compensation coverage to be
effective for volunteers, ICRMA is requesting formal action by the adoption of a
Resolution.
DISCUSSION
ICRMA is a joint powers agency with 28 member cities throughout Southern California.
It has provided the City with public entity liability coverage above a self- insured retention
since 1986 and workers' compensation coverage above a self- insured retention since
2003. By practice the City has always extended workers' compensation benefits to
volunteers however formal action has never been taken. Paying for workers
compensation benefits fora volunteer is more cost- effective than if a - volunteer should
file a tort claim for injury arising out of service as a result of workers' compensation
coverage not being available to them. In order for our excess coverage to be effective
for volunteers, ICRMA is requesting formal action by the adoption of a Resolution.
FISCAL IMPACT
.There is no additional financial liability as a result of the adoption of this Resolution as
current practice covers volunteers for workers' compensation.

SUBJECT: Annual Asphalt Concrete Overlay and Reconstruction Proiect
Recommendation: Authorize -the City Manager to enter into a contract with
Silvia Construction, Inc. in the amount of $337,054.56 for the 2003/2004 and
2004/2005 Annual Asphalt Concrete Overlay and Reconstruction Project
SUMMARY:
As part of the' City's Pavement Management Master Plan, the, Public Works; Services
• Department is preparing to rehabilitate nine (9) streets throughout the City (see attached
Location Maps).
Staff received five (5) bids for this project. Silvia Construction, Inc., who has successfully
completed similar projects, submitted the lowest qualified bid. Staff recommends that the
City Council award a contract in the amount of $337,054.56 to Silvia Construction, Inc., for
the 2003/2004 and 200412005 Annual Asphalt Concrete Overlay and Reconstruction
Project.
DISCUSSION:
The Public Works Services Department is responsible for the maintenance and repair of
approximately 147 miles of pavement within the community. In 1999, as part of the City's
Pavement Management Program, staff prioritized the condition of all City streets and
established a Five (5) Year Pavement Management Plan to rehabilitate many of the lowest
rated. streets. The 2003/04 and 2004/05 Capital Improvement Program includes the design
and rehabilitation of nine (9) streets with approximately 14,645 lineal feet of asphalt.
These streets will be paved or overlaid with. a rubberized asphalt material. A rubberized
asphalt overlay is the application of a 2" thick mixture of W and smaller aggregate, asphalt
material and rubber crumbs are applied over the existing street pavement. The rubber
crumbs add elasticity to the mixture which extends the life of the concrete overlay. This
mixture, when combined with edge cold milling, is designed to rehabilitate older pavement
• surfaces where surface cracks are prevalent and loss of material are evident.

The Five (5) Year Pavement Management Plan identified nine (9) streets for major
rehabilitation (location maps are attached for reference). These streets have considerable
cracking, areas of localized failure, and a pavement condition index (PCI) of "poor" to
"failed." Failure to perform necessary pavement work may cause further structural failure of
the roadways.
Notices inviting bids were published in the adjudicated paper and bid packages were
distributed to area contractors. The following five (5) bids were received on July 27, 2004:

Staff has reviewed the bid documents for content and has investigated the contractor's
background and recent projects for competency: It is staff's opinion that Silvia Construction,
Inc. can satisfactorily perform the work required and recommends that the City Council
award a contract in the amount of $337,054.56 to Silvia Construction, Inc. for the 2003 -2004
and 2004 -2005 Annual Asphalt Concrete Overlay and Reconstruction Project.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
This project is categorically exempt - per Section 15302 (c) replacement from the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act.

Recommendation: Approve the purchase of five (5) 2005 black and white
patrol cars in the amount of $137,096.56 from Downtown Ford Sales
SUMMARY:
• Staff is recommending that the City Council award a purchase contract to Downtown
Ford Sales for the purchase of five (5) 2005 Ford Crown Victoria 4 -door black and white
police patrol cars in the amount of $137,096.56. Funds in the amount of $180,000.00
have been budgeted for vehicle acquisition, emergency lighting, safety features and
telecommunication equipment in this fiscal year's Equipment Replacement Budget.
DISCUSSION:
Five (5) 2005 Ford Crown Victoria black and white police patrol cars will be purchased
to replace patrol units #60184 (1996), #60187 (1996), #80040 (1999), #80043 (1999),
and #60157 (1993). Each patrol car has high mileage and meets the City Vehicle
Replacement Criteria and schedule for police patrol units (age and mileage).
Staff investigated cooperative purchase agreements (also known as "piggybacking ")
with other municipalities for vehicles with specifications that are equal to or greater than
the City of Arcadia's. Public agencies often utilize this cooperative purchase agreement
as a cost savings factor. The State of California's Department of General Services
(DGS), in cooperation with Downtown Ford Sales, has authorized the City of Arcadia to
piggy -back with their purchase order. This allows the City to purchase 2005 model
vehicles for the price of the 2004 models by using the DGS' purchase agreement
without having the City to conduct a formal bidding since the State already completed
• this process.

CIIIIIIN ,
Beginning with the 2003 -2004 Capital Improvement Project budget, the City Council has
approved funds for the purchase and installation of new City entry and directional signs
and poles, banners and monument improvements. The City Signage and Banner
Program is a multi -year project designed to upgrade the City's entrance image, to
beautify the community, and to provide directional assistance. The first phase will
provide for entry and directional signs and poles. The second phase will provide for the
installation of banners and the third phase will oversee the installation of entry
monuments and new facades for downtown monuments.
Phase I was divided into two elements: The purchase of the signs, and the purchase
and installation of the decorative poles. The project to purchase and install the poles
was advertised in early July and two (2) bids were received on July 27, 2004. The low
bid. is from TDS Engineering in the amount of $175,037. Staff recommends awarding
the purchase and installation of the decorative poles to TDS Engineering in the amount
of $175,037.
BACKGROUND
The City has developed a comprehensive municipal signage and banner program to
upgrade and beautify the City image. The program is phased over three years with the
first phase to be the directional and entry signage on decorative poles. The second
phase will be the banners and the third phase will be the new and refaced entry
monuments. The first phase budget is $192,960 and has been carried over to the
•current fiscal year and combined with the Phase II budget of $37,000 for a total budget
of $229,960.

Phase I was originally bid as one comprehensive project. The project was advertised for
bids in March and only two bids were received. The bids were considerably higher than
the budget and therefore, the City Council rejected the bids. Staff separated the project
into two parts: the purchase of the signs, and the purchase and installation of the poles.
Bids for the sign purchase were opened on July 20, 2004, and approved by the City
Council on August 3, 2004.
The project to purchase and install the poles includes a bid item for the installation of
the new signs on the poles. The project was advertised for in early July and bids
were received on July 27, 2004 as follows:
Bidder Amount
TDS Engineering $175,037.00
National Electrical $369,015.00
Upon review by staff, the second bidder incorrectly bid the sign installations assuming
that the cost was to include the purchase of the signs. The unit prices of the two
bidders for the purchase and installation of the poles were very close and TDS
Engineering's prices were -less than the second bidder. The low bid is in line with the
latest cost estimate. Staff has determined that TDS Engineering can satisfactorily •
perform the required work.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Signage and Banner Program Phase I was in the FY 2003/04 Capital Improvement
Program with a budget of $192,960. The phase I budget was carried over and added to
this year's Phase 11 budget for a total of $229,960. The City Council previously
approved the sign purchase in the amount of $33,045.48. The bid for the purchase and
installation of the poles is $175,037, bringing the total phase I project cost to
$208,082.48. There are sufficient funds available in the combined budget for this
project. The scope of Phase II will be adjusted according to the remaining budget.
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the City Manager to enter into a contract with TDS Engineering in the
amount of $175,037 for the City Signage and Banner Program Phase I to include
the purchase and; installation of sign poles.

TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Pat Malloy, Public Works Services Dire or
Prepared by: Tom Tait, Field Services Manager
SUBJECT:'
Recommendation: To ratify an emergency purchase order, in the amount of
$49,534.14 to General Pump Company, Inc., for the replacement of a new pump
and motor assembly at Orange Grove No. 5 Well
SUMMARY:
Earlier this year, Orange Grove No. 5 Well was taken out of service due to mechanical failure.
At the time of this failure the Live Oak Well (our largest producer) and Orange Grove well No.
1A were both out of service undergoing rehabilitation. At that time, the City was experiencing
unseasonably hot weather and staff was concerned about our ability to provide sufficient water .
to the system, especially if we lost another well or booster station while three (3) wells were out
of service. Public Works Services (PWS) staff determined this to be a critical situation and did
not have time to follow normal procurement procedures for repair and replacement equipment.
This situation necessitated the use of General Pump Company, Inc.'s services to immediately
resolve the problem. On May 6, 2004, the work was completed and an invoice was received on
June 22, 2004. ,
Staff recommends that the City Council ratify the emergency purchase order that was issued in
the amount of $49,534.14 to General Pump Company for the replacement of the pump and
motor assembly at Orange Grove No. 5 Well.
Earlier this year, Orange Grove No. 5 Well was taken out of service because of mechanical
failure. Orange Grove No. 5 well is located at 67 W. Orange Grove Avenue and is one of four
(4) wells operating in the East Raymond Basin, which supplies water to the northern quadrant of
the City (see attached map of City). This well is a reliable source of water to the distribution
system and produces approximately 1,100 acre -feet of water each year. At the time of this
failure the Live Oak Well (our largest, producer) and Orange Grove No. 1A were both out of
service undergoing rehabilitation. The loss of any other well or booster pump station in the
system would have the potential to seriously impact our ability to provide an adequate supply of
® water. Additionally, it was unseasonably hot for that time of year, which was placing higher than
normal demands for water on our system.

On April 22, 2004, General Pump Company, Inc. of San Dimas, Ca., was contacted by staff to
remove the damaged motor, evaluate the motor and pump,.and prepare a "Quote for Service" to
repair the well. General Pump Company was retained to perform the evaluation based on their
ability to respond immediately to the emergency and their experience in repairing wells similar to
the Orange Grove Well.
The evaluation determined that the existing 150 hp (horse power) motor failed due to an
electrical malfunction. The extent of the rehabilitation consisted of the removal of the
submersible pump, motor and column, cleaning and disinfection of the column, installation of a
new submersible pump and motor assembly, appurtenances, and testing. General Pump
Company submitted a quote of $49,534.14 to perform the work. Staff felt that the quotation was
reasonable, based on prior work performed for similar repairs. The majority of the cost was
attributed to the new motor and pump bowl assembly and the removal and replacement of the
column and shaft. On May 8, 2004, the work was completed and an invoice was received on
June 22, 2004.
Staff recommends that the City Council ratify an emergency Purchase Order in the amount of
$49,534.14 to General Pump Company Inc. to install a new pump and motor at Orange Grove
No. 5 well
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
The project is categorically exempt per Section 15302 (c) from the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act. •
FISCAL IMPACT:
Sufficient funds are available in the 2003 -04 Water Operating Budget (Unscheduled Repairs to
Wells Account) to cover the cost of such repair.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Waive the formal bid process in accordance with Section 2846.1.(a) of the Arcadia
Municipal Code (AMC).
2. Ratify the issuance of a Purchase Order Agreement In the amount of $49,534.14 to
General Pump Company, Inc. to Install a new pump and motor assembly at
Orange Grove No. 5 Well.

DATE: August 17, 2004
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: William R. Kelly, City Manager
By: Linda Garcia, Communications, Marketing and Special
Projects Manager
SUBJECT: ORDINANCE NO. 2200 AMENDING SECTION 2710 OF THE
ARCADIA MUNICIPAL CODE TO ESTABLISH THE DESIGN OF
THE SEAL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA
Recommendation: Introduce
SUMMARY
•The design of the City Seal is set forth in the Arcadia Municipal Code and any change to
it must be made by way of an ordinance. Staff recommends that the City Council
introduce Ordinance No. 2200 adopting a modified version of the City Seal.
DISCUSSION
Based on the City Council discussion on July 1, 2004, staff prepared and is presenting
for your consideration an updated version of the City Seal. The proposed Seal is similar
to the existing version, with the following modifications:
1. The words "City of Arcadia" are at the top of the Seal instead of inside the shield.
2. The word "California" has been added.
3. The full date of incorporation is now listed.
4. "Community of Homes" is now in the ribbon at the bottom of the Seal.
If the City Council approves the above referenced changes to the City Seal, staff
recommends that the new Seal be integrated as the need arises. That is, rather than
replacing all items that contain the Seal at once, the new version will be incorporated as
items are replaced /purchased (e.g. stationery, vehicle decals, badges, plaques,
uniforms, pins, brochures, etc.). Although it will take several years before the transition
to the new Seal is complete, staff believes that the cost savings resulting from replacing
items on an as needed basis (versus all at once) is significant enough to warrant the
phased approach.

FISCAL IMPACT
There are various expenses associated with adopting a new seal and these costs will
be paid for as the work becomes necessary, within the existing budget. A smaller digital
version of the Arcadia Seal, one that would be appropriate for stationery, brochures and
other smaller documents, can be produced with minimal cost. However, there may be a
need to have new "original" art prepared for items of a larger or more detailed nature,
such as the decals on City vehicles, public safety badges and related. If this proves to
be the case, it Js hoped that the cost of having this work done can be accommodated
within the existing operating budget.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council introduce Ordinance No: 2200, an
ordinance of the City Council of the City of Arcadia, California, amending Section
2710 of the Arcadia Municipal Code to establish the design of the Seal of the City
of Arcadia;. and, further, that the City Council direct staff to incorporate the use of
the new Seal on an as needed basis, as items come up for production.
