KELLY, BY: LINDA GARCIA CITY MANAGER _(WA SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FROM THE ARCADIA TOURNAMENT OF ROSES ASSOCIATION SUMMARY The Arcadia Tournament of Roses Association ( "Association ") has requested assistance from the City with regard to publicizing several of their upcoming functions and their 1995 membership drive. DISCUSSION At the City Council meeting of September 6, 1994, the City Council considered a request from the Arcadia Tournament of Roses Association for financial assistance with regard to three mailings they had intended to make to Arcadia residents to publicize several of their upcoming functions and to provide general information on Association membership (the staff report is attached). After consideration of the request, the City Council directed staff to bring back a revised report offering other, less expensive alternatives for providing assistance to the Association. Accordingly, City staff met with Association representatives to put together another proposal for City Council consideration. At this time, the proposal before the City Council is for support in one of the following ways: Option 1 Printing, folding and envelope- stuffing services for two notices of 500 regarding upcoming functions (one page /one side each, plus envelope with return address) and three notices of 500 regarding membership information (two pages /one side each, plus envelope with return address), with all notices being printed on two -color Tournament f R A t' I tt h d 0 oses ssocia ion a er ea 1 X� 77� � 9 NAGED Mayor and Members* - the City Council *40 September 20, 1994 Page 2 With this option, the Association would be responsible for providing us with camera - ready art, and they would take care of labeling the envelopes and paying for the postage. Allowing for the fact that the City will waive its labor cost for folding and stuffing the envelope, our cost to provide these services is approximately $500 for a high quality bond paper, and approximately $415.00 for a lesser quality paper. Oation 2 A cash grant could be granted to the Association in order to pay for these same services, which they could purchase from an outside printing company. Of special note with this option is that providing a cash grant to the Association will enable them to go to local printing establishments and perhaps solicit them for a contribution in the form of lower printing rates and /or a donation of a certain amount of printing services. This could, in essence, allow the Association to obtain more for the same amount of money. As a point of reference, staff is not suggesting placing this information in a water bill because of the City Council established guidelines directing staff to not use the water bill inserts to advertise fund raisers or other events put on by community organizations. Staff will need direction from the City Council if you would like to revise this policy. FISCAL IMPACT The City's cost to provide the printing and associated services mentioned previously is approximately $500.00 for a high quality bond paper, the kind that is typically used for letterhead purposes, and approximately $415.00 for a lesser quality paper. It is suggested that if the City Council desires to support the Tournament of Roses with a cash grant, that said grant be in the amount of $500.00. If the City Council desires to support the Tournament of Roses in this manner, funds would be available in the Community Relations Division budget. It is important to note that it does not make a difference to the City's budget if the support is provided in the form of services or dollars, in that the Community Relations Division will be charged the actual cost of the support. Whether we pay the City's print shop or issue a check to the Association, the money is no longer available for use on other projects. f: r Mayor and Members ofd City Council r.d September 20, 1994 Page 3 RECOMMENDATION The City Council should discuss this request, and if it finds that supporting the Tournament of Roses in this fashion would be of benefit to the community, and serve a City /public purpose, that the City Council: 1) Direct staff to coordinate with the Tournament of Roses Association on the production of the publicity information pursuant to the details of this report; or Direct staff to issue a check to the Arcadia Tournament of Roses Association in the amount of $500.00; and 2) Appropriate the specific dollar amount from the Community Relations Division budget. Attachment yl A 'AD r kPORATEO; DATE: TO: FROM: SUBJECT: SUMMARY n M Memorandum SEPTEMBER 6, 1994 MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL WILLIAM R. KELLY, CITY MANAGER PREPARED BY: LINDA GARCIA REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE FROM THE ARCADIA TOURNAMENT OF ROSES ASSOCIATION The Arcadia Tournament of Roses Association has requested assistance from the City with regard to three (3) mailings they would like to make to Arcadia residents in the near future. This assistance would be in the way of printing and mailing services for mailings that would be used to advertise several of their functions for the remainder of 1994. DISCUSSION The Arcadia Tournament of Roses Association is a local organization whose purpose is to serve as a public relations arm of the City of Arcadia. Their primary means of promoting the community of Arcadia is through participation in the annual Tournament of Roses parade in Pasadena with a City of Arcadia float. For your information, the City has had a float in said parade every year since 1915, with the Tournament of Roses Association sponsoring the float since 1966. The Tournament of Roses Association has received funding from the City in the past; the most recent being a $3,000 payment in FY1975 -1976 for funding of the float. The Tournament of Roses Association recently requested financial support from the City in the amount of $13,250. However, during the recent budget deliberations, they withdrew their request as a way of helping the City balance its FYI 994-1995 budget. Since that time, and at their request, staff has had informal discussions with members of the Tournament of Roses about the possibility of providing other, indirect support. M Mayor and Members of the City Council September 6, 1994 Page 2 n We have received the attached request from the Tournament of Roses for assistance with three mailings they would like to make to Arcadia residents to publicize the Wineshed Mixer, Coronation Ball, Float Preview Party, the Workout Breakfast and to provide some general information on Tournament of Roses membership. The Association would like the mailings to go to as many Arcadia residents as possible with the Association providing one -color camera -ready art for an 8 1/2" x 11" flyer and the City providing the paper, printing, postage and mailing services. The City would have approval of the content of the mailings. On July 5, 1994, the City Council adopted a Donation Policy (attached) which allows the City Council to authorize the expenditure of funds for City - related functions that appear to be beneficial to the community. FISCAL IMPACT The City's cost to provide this type of service to the Tournament of Roses Association is detailed below: Option A • 25,000 8 1/2" x 11 " one - color, • 25,000 printed envelopes • folding and stuffing • postage Option B • one sided flyers $624.00 772.00 400.00 2.550.00 Total $4,346.00 for one mailing $8,692.00 for two mailings $13,038.00 for three mailings 25,000 8 1/2" x 11 " one - color, $1,355.00 two sided flyers • folding and stapling 485.00 • postage 2.550.00 Total $4,390.00 for one mailing $8,780.00 for two mailings $13,170.00 for three mailings The prices listed above include delivery to all postal customers in the City. Mailing to residential customers only would save approximately $400.00 - $450.00 per mailing. n Mayor and Members of the City Council September 6, 1994 Page 3 M Please note that the postage cost was determined by our being able to take advantage of the simplified address /bulk rate program which is available to government agencies only. To utilize this program, we must either mail to the entire City, or to all residential customers, or all business customers and the words "City of Arcadia" must make up the main portion of the return address (e.g. City of Arcadia, in conjunction with the Arcadia Tournament of Roses Association). Using the simplified address system enables us to address each envelope /flyer with one of the following phrases (instead of individual addresses): Arcadia Postal Customer, Arcadia Residential Postal Customer or Arcadia Business Postal Customer. As a point of reference, the reason staff is suggesting using the simplified address system is because the Tournament of Roses Association does not have a specific mailing list they want to use. They are hoping to reach as many residents as possible, and since neither the Tournament of Roses or the City has a way to come up with an acceptable list of specific names and addresses to mail to, it was determined that mailing to all postal customers, or at least all residential customers, would be the best way to go (if, in fact, the City is going to be sponsoring a mailing). As an alternative, the City Council may wish to choose a particular element(s) of the above described options as opposed to sponsoring an entire mailing(s). That is, you can pick and choose any combination of the above components from paying only for the cost -of the flyers to paying for the cost of the flyers and envelopes, etc. Additionally, the City Council can exercise the option of providing financial assistance in the form of a cash grant in an amount of your choice. The Tournament of Roses Association would then arrange for any printing and mailing services themselves. With this option, the City does not necessarily have approval of the content of the mailings or of how the money is actually used. If the City Council desires to support the Tournament of Roses, funds would have to be appropriated from the General Fund and /or the Community Relations Division budget in an amount determined by the level of support. Please be advised that there is no money budgeted specifically for this purpose. The Community Relations Division, however, is capable of absorbing up to $1,000 toward the cost of this project out of its program expenses account. `4W 40% Mayor and Members of the City Council September. 6, 1994 Page 4 RECOMMENDATION The City Council should discuss this request, and if it finds that the subject matter of these mailings are indeed a City /public purpose, of benefit to the community, and the City Council is desirous of supporting the Tournament of Roses in this fashion, that the City Council: 1) Direct staff to coordinate with the Tournament of Roses Association on the production of the flyer pursuant to the details of this report; or Direct staff to issue a check to the Arcadia Tournament of Roses Association; and 2) Determine the level of support, and 3) Appropriate the specific dollar amount from the General Fund and /or Community Relations Division budget.

PORTER - PRESIDENT ARCADIA TOURNAMENT OF ROSES ASSOCIATION SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE SUMMARY We request support services to assist in achieving the goals stated below. DISCUSSION The Arcadia Tournament of Roses Association ( Tournament ) has been a community organization in this city, in one form or another, since its first parade entry in 19 le The recognition that the group brings to the city is well recognized. Historically the City had provided support for the Tournament in the way of direct funding. That process was discontinued at the request and recommendation of the Tournament when our financial position was very secure. Resumption of direct funding was recently considered as a budgetary line item during planning review. We then withdrew our request, in order to assist the City in its challenge to set realistic budgetary goals. In July of this year, the Council adopted a Donation Policy. The Tournament MRS. JOYCE MACARTNEY requested information regarding same. The City Manager indicated there TOURNAMENT COORDINATOR might be support services available to assist us in meeting our fiscal challenges; To wit, ( 1) Increasing membership ( 2) Promotion of fund raising community activities. 388 WEST HUNTINGTON DRIVE - ARCADIA, CALIF. - 91007 - (818) 445- 1400 - FAX (818) 445 -0273 n M We feel we qualify for this type of support, as we meet all requirements of the Policy; the benefit to the City is beyond quantification. ( Please see attached Fact Sheet). The Tournament therefore respectfully requests assistance and support from the City, as delineated in the City Manager's project outline and report. We feel that the " three mailing" level of option A would have the greatest impact and would assist in goal achievement. Also, as an optimistic viewpoint, possibly eliminate the need for support in the future. We ask that the Council review and issue decision, since major fund raising activity is calendar sensitive and time is of the essence. Thank you for your consideration.

En CITY OF ARCADIA cm ADMINISTRATIVE POLICY GUIDELINES DONATION POLICY Date Adopted July 5, 1.994 _ Signed By The purpose of this policy is to establish procedures and guidelines for response to requests from outside agencies for donation of City funds for non -City projects, programs and activities. "Donation" means gift of City funds for non -City purpose. "Community Organization" means service clubs, charitable /non - profit groups in Arcadia. As always, it will be the City's goal to expend public funds in a prudent and responsible manner. From time to time, requests are received from community organizations for the City of Arcadia to donate funds and /or gifts for various events. This policy formally restricts the City Council to allocating funds only for City- related functions. The denial of donation requests from community organizations shall be routinely administratively handled by the City Manager or his /her designee. If a request arises which appears to be beneficial to the community and is considered to be a City- related function, the City Council may authorize such expenditure. This authorization shall be an exception to this policy and shall require formal approval by a majority vote of the City Council at a regular City Council meeting. It has been City policy and shall continue to be policy, that in an effort to promote good community relations and in lieu of monetary donations, presentations of certificates for achievement and service will be made as they have in the past, as will the presentation M DONATION POLICY Page Two E5 of City plaques for special recognition. A guideline for presentations to the public and to employees is contained in the City's Commendation/ Presentation Policy. This policy is a procedural guideline and may be modified as the City Council deems appropriate. ,I. D 3'5 n /7 L 4.40mCi� 3 Memorandum DATE: SEPTEMBER 20, 1994 TO: MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL FROM: JIM DALE, FINANCE DIRECTOR <;Pbr—` SUBJECT: RECOMMENDATION TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 5820 ESTABLISHING PARKING VIOLATION LATE PENALTIES Summary Staff is recommending an increase in parking penalties and late charges in order to bring these rates more in line with parking penalties charged by other Agencies. Discussion Penalties for various parking violations are rebated to the city in which the violation occurs. Revenues collected for violations of the Arcadia Municipal Code are deposited in the General Fund, while violations of the California Vehicle Code are deposited in the Traffic Safety Fund. The resources generated from this revenue source are expended in accordance with State regulations for traffic control devices and the maintenance thereof; the maintenance of equipment and supplies for traffic law enforcement and traffic accident prevention; and the maintenance improvement and construction of public streets. The parking penalties imposed by the City of Arcadia have not been changed or increased since April 1987, with the exception of a $2 State - mandated surcharge which was added in August 1991. Section 40203.5 of the California Vehicle Code states, among other things, that to the extent possible, parking penalties shall be standardized with other Agencies within the County. Attached is a survey of parking penalties imposed by several Los Angeles County Agencies. The survey shows that the penalties currently charged by Arcadia are generally below those penalties charged by other Agencies within Los Angeles County. LASER IMAGED Mayor and Members of the City Council September 20, 1994 Page 2 Attached as part of the Resolution is the proposed schedule of parking penalties and late charges (Exhibit A) recommended for adoption. These rates will bring our parking penalties more in line with those charged by other Agencies in compliance with the California Vehicle Code. Fiscal Impact The implementation of the recommended parking penalties and late fees will generate an estimated $10,000 to $15,000 additional revenue annually. Recommendation It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 5820 imposing parking penalty fees and late penalty fees which are comparable to those fees charged by other agencies within Los Angeles County. uz Approved William R.

KINNAHAN, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATOR RE: REQUEST FOR WAIVER OF ARA RESOLUTION 172 TO PERMIT A GUN AND JEWELRY SHOP IN THE CENTRAL REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA (50 E. HUNTINGTON DRIVE) SUMMARY Agency Resolution 172 adopted January 19, 1993 does not permit a gun shop in the downtown project area. Mr. Gulbeyan, Sr. is requesting a waiver of the prohibition in order to obtain a business license to operate a gun shop/jewelry shop at 50 E. Huntington Drive, a vacant retail store to the west of Home Savings. Staff is recommending approval of this request. BACKGROUND • In January 1993, the City Council/Redevelopment Agency was considering a comprehensive downtown revitalization strategy and program. A list of inappropriate land uses and a statement on design criteria were prepared by staff for the City Council/Redevelopment Agency. ARA Resolution 172 was the formal document which proposed to establish land uses and design-requirements. (A summary of prohibited uses and ARA 172 are provided as Exhibit 1). The purpose of the Resolution was to encourage high quality retail outlets and stores in the downtown project area and to discourage incompatible and non-harmonious uses. Further,the Agency through this resolution desired to eliminate or prevent inappropriate uses which might detract from the market acceptance and image of the downtown project area. It was intended as an interim land use control pending completion of the downtown precise plan and revitalization program. A waiver provision was provided as an "escape clause". Following a public hearing the Agency adopted the Resolution. 1 (9j:j),/iSL LASER IMAGED • Mr. Gulbeyan states that he formerly operated a gunsmith/jewelry store used by local police officers and the public at 602 E. Live Oak. He wants to locate his business in the downtown, because he believes that the downtown is going to revitalize. His letter requesting a waiver of the requirements of ARA 172 is attached (Exhibit 2). With the continuing economic recession through 1993 and 1994, and the need for additional retailers in the downtown, staff feels that Mr. Gulbeyan's request for a gun shop/jewelry shop should be approved. • The Planning staff is now preparing for a review and update of the City's General Plan. During this process staff will be working with the Planning Commission and City Council/ Redevelopment Agency on a reanalysis of these prohibited land uses. In the meantime, these requests will be considered on a case by case basis. Mr. Gulbeyan has received a complete copy of Resolution 172. He will be present at the meeting to address the Agency. FISCAL IMPACT Increased revenues to the City from business license fees and sales taxes. RECOMMENDATION That the Agency approve a waiver from ARA 172 for Mr. Gulbeyan's request for a gun shop/jewelry shop at 50 E. Huntington Drive. Approved William R.

NOW THEREFORE, THE ARCADIA REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. The Agency finds that the Use and Design Requirements and Guidelines (the "Guidelines") attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and incorporated herein by reference, are reasonable and necessary in order to eliminate blight and to facilitate and encourage the policies and objectives of the Redevelopment Law. In particular, the Agency finds that without the Guidelines, there will likely be developed in the Project Area uses incompatible with high quality office, restaurant and retail centers and industrial facilities, and structures which create a haphazard and inconsistent mix of architectural design, all o=_ which promote blight and discourage investment in real property and redevelopment activities. The Agency further finds that the needs of the community would be adequately served by the location of certain uses, described in the Guidelines as inappropriate for the Project Area, in other more suitable areas within the City, since (a) the Project Area constitutes merely a small area within the City, (b) other areas within the City generally do not contain the blighted conditions which caused the need for adoption of the Redevelopment Plan for the Project Area, and (c) there is sufficient demand from residents, businesses and community organizations in other areas of the City for such uses to be located in those areas. The Agency • i further finds that the uses described in the Guidelines as inappropriate for the Project Area do not constitute uses which would facilitate development of integrated, high quality office complexes and retail centers, and that many of such uses would be incompatible with existing structures and desired redevelopment projects due to the appearance, traffic, noise, glare, smoke, or similar factors typically associated with such uses. SECTION 2. The Agency hereby approves and adopts the Guidelines, and requires that any and all development, redevelopment, and rehabilitation, repair, alteration, construction or reconstruction of structures within the Project Area be undertaken and completed in conformity with the Guidelines. A copy of the Guidelines shall be forwarded by the Agency Secretary to the City's Planning Department and Business License office in the Finance Department for their reference and use in considering applications for permits and approvals pertinent to the Project Area. SECTION 3 . This Resolution shall take effect upon adoption. Passed, approved and adopted this 19th day of January , 1993 . /S/ GEORGE FASCHING Chairman Arcadia Redevelopment Agency ATTEST: /S/ JUNE D.

ALFORD Secretary Arcadia Redevelopment Agency USE AND DESIGN REQUIREMENTS AND GUIDELINES FOR THE CENTRAL REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA ("PROJECT AREA") Statement of Policy 1. These Use and Design Requirements and Guidelines are intended to supplement and clarify the City of Arcadia General Plan, the Arcadia Municipal Code, in particular Article IX - Zoning Ordinance, the Redevelopment Plan for the Central Redevelopment Project, as each may be amended from time to time and the Agency's Design Review regulations (ARA Resolution 13) . 2 . The Agency desires and intends to encourage construction of new and rehabilitation of existing buildings to include attractive quality high end retail stores and restaurants, as well as professional offices and industrial buildings. These buildings and facilities should be constructed of attractive, quality, durable materials, architecturally designed and constructed to be compatible and harmonious with the downtown, with ample landscaping using preferably mature flora and shielded lighting (as appropriate) . 3 . The Agency desires and intends to discourage and reject uses and architectural elements such as incompatible, inappropriate, or non-harmonious signage, colors, materials, building size or mass, accessories, architectural styles or treatments, etc. which are of themselves unattractive or blighting or tend to induce a blighting influence in the area as shown by an increase in illegal and/or unattractive signage, economically marginal uses, unusual security systems, criminal activity, increased vehicular traffic resulting in traffic violations, accidents and illegal parking. Inappropriate Uses Inappropriate uses in the project area, which the Agency will generally not approve, include the following and anything which the Agency determines to be similar in character: - pawn shops - flea market or second hand "swap meet" or surplus stores - second hand or used merchandise stores - antique stores, if merchandise is less than 100 years old - laundromats - thrift stores - bail bonds offices - dance studios/halls - karaoke bars or halls - modeling agencies - palmistry, fortune telling - astrology, psychic 9Y P Y - beauty college - acupressure studios or facilities - electronic and/or video game arcades, pinball arcades - hot tub/suntan facilities - automobile related uses except sale of new, or used cars in connection with the sale of new cars - auto service or gas stations - tire and battery shops - muffler shops - automobile storage garage - fast food restaurants, except where such are included and incidental within an office building, and which do not contain drive-through service - drive-in theaters - bars and cocktail lounges, except in conjunction with a bona fide dinnerhouse restaurant - coin-operated, self-service dry cleaning machines - frozen foods locker - mortuaries - sanitariums - bath - turkish and the like - churches - coin-operated and automatic car washes - storage garage - upholstery shop - utility trailer and truck rental yard - pool or billiard halls - martial arts studios or academies - billboards advertising products not identifying a use on premises - any operation (for industrial areas) primarily used as a distilling, refining, smelting, agricultural or mining operation - check cashing service - nail salons - massage parlors - stores selling liquor for off-premise consumption, except as part of a comprehensive development plan of at least 40,000 sq. ft. - convenience stores - ambulance services - bowling alley - gun shop - heavy machinery rental Desirable Architectural Design Styles The ' Agency will generally approve only the following design elements: the use of red or brown brick or wood with base and accent colors consistent with the Downtown. Revitalization Ordinance. Other design elements, architectural treatment and colors may be permitted by the Agency if the proposed development or building offers some unique amenities or benefit to the community and the downtown area. ) Inaoorocri-ate Architectural Design Styles Inappropriate design, which the Agency will not permit, includes without limitation domes, minarets, windmills, exterior stairways or hotel room access, intermixed and incompatible or non-harmonious architectural styles/designs on one building or one site, buildings predominantly of reflective glass, buildings out of character and inconsistent with other buildings in the downtown, including landscaping. fxceDtion Notwithstanding the above, the Agency in its reasonable discretion may, for a building or project of unusual economic significance or potential positive architectural impact, approve a variation for, waive or modify the above Use and Design Guidelines. Existing non-conforming uses will generally ;continue to be permitted subject to the Arcadia Municipal Code and the Redevelopment Plan. If any existing inappropriate use is abandoned or discontinued for a period of 90 days, any rights under these Guidelines shall terminate. Increased Intensity of Uses The land in the areas bounded by W. Huntington, Santa Anita and Santa Clara, and the land bounded by E. Huntington, the AT & SF railroad tracks, N. Second and Santa Clara is in the .heart of the redevelopment project area. As such, they have high visibility from surface, freeway and rail traffic and therefore have an unusual impact on the future development of their immediate area, the entire downtown project area, and the City's overall image and reputation. Therefore, the Agency desires and intends this land be developed for more intense and attractive commercial uses than permitted under the existing zoning, including but not limited to greater height, e.g. , 3-6 stories with subterranean parking vs. 3 stories. The Agency generally will not permit less intense uses than that stated herein, including but not limited to single story "mini-mall" retail, one or two story office, retail, hotel,: or such mixed uses. • ‘;‘,.
