Warner Cheer Team for their winning accomplishments during the 2012/13 Competition

PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS
Mayor Lozano announced Public Communications as open at 7:14 p.m. and announced that
speakers are allowed three (3) minutes for each speaker.
Jason Adams, President of the Baldwin Park Police Association, thanked officers and the
community for their representation at the Council Meeting; commented on the potential
outsourcing of law enforcement to the County Sheriff's Department; opined that the process of
determination has been less than transparent; stated that the community should be kept
informed and be a part of discussions.
Jay Kahn Sanchez, read aloud a letter from State Assemblyman Roger Hernandez which
commended the officers of Baldwin Park Police Department and, serving as the Chair of Labor
& Employment, Assemblyman Hernandez expressed his hope and encouragement that Council
will retain the police department; stated that the true cost savings have not been clearly
identified and that the lack of information being circulated is disturbing; expressed support of the
Baldwin Police Association and his support for keeping the police department.
Cindy Cortez, Monica Leon, Jasmine Torrez, Malina Gomez, Marela Nava, of Baldwin Park
High School, announced that, as a project for their Chicano Studies course, they will be hosting
a cultural fair on March 1., 2013 at Serra Vista High School; they invited members of the
community and Council to attend.
Joe Flanagan, Director of the Los Angeles North Chapter of Police Officers Research
Association of California (PORAC), spoke in opposition to the potential outsourcing of law
enforcement services to Los Angeles County; noted that eliminating the police department does
not eliminate costs; pointed out that keeping a local police department keeps control within the
city and quickens response to emergencies; opined that there is also political impact that should
be considered and urged Council to think long and hard before making a decision to outsource.
Rich Randolph, President of the Colton Police Officers Association of the Inland Empire,
expressed opposition to the possible outsourcing of law enforcement services and opined that
the decision to dissolve the police department would not be a service to the community but that
Council should allow the community to decide rather than having five individuals make such a
decision.
Lillian Rubio, member of the Baldwin Park Police Officers Association, noted that she has
served on the Baldwin Park Police Force for 17 years and the personal investment that she and
other officers have made in becoming law enforcement representatives; reiterated the
commitment of the officers to the community and its safety.

provided cost sharing proposals; encouraged citizens to consider the source of the comments
before coming to a conclusion.
Peter Hoebe, President of the Azusa Peace Officer Association and President of PORAC,
stated that he previously served on the Baldwin Park Police Department and has been in law
enforcement for over 17 years; opined that Los Angeles Sheriff's Department will not provide
the cost savings expected; stressed the importance of keeping law enforcement local as it
serves as an anchor for the community.
Ken Woods, Baldwin Park resident and business owner, commented on the `countless' closed
session meetings that Council has had, yet it appears no decisions have ever been made in
those meeting; opined that decisions are being withheld and pointed out that the community is
entitled to knowing the resulting decisions made in closed sessions.
Greq Tuttle, Baldwin Park business owner, commented on a written note that was passed to
him by another attendee that he alleged was written by a member of Council; commented on

mismanaged CalPERS funds and alleged that illegal documents are being signed under the
direction of the current City Manager; stated that the City Manager has done nothing but caused
turmoil in the City.
Mark Adams, Staff Representative for the Baldwin Park Police Association, acknowledged that
declining revenue and other adverse economics have an effect on the city of Baldwin Park but
pointed out that Baldwin Park has the lowest crime rate for the area and size of the city; asked
why conflicting financial information is being provided to the citizens and asked that accurate
information be gathered, reported and provided to the community.
There being no additional speakers, Mayor Lozano closed public communications at 7:40 p.m.
Councilmember Rubio thanked those who attended the meeting to show support for the Baldwin
Park Police Department and that she supports them and did not vote to outsource the service.
Councilmember Pacheco commented on the commitment of the officers of the Police
Department; expressed his desire to continue to look for alternatives; agreed with comments
regarding getting accurate financial information which would be used to compare with the
Sheriff's contract; acknowledged that there is a perception that a contract with the Sheriff's
Department would be a cost saving move but that it cannot be demonstrated without accurate
information.
Mayor Pro Tern Garcia expressed appreciation to all who spoke in support of the Police
Department; stated that the current annual cost of the police department represents a significant
portion of expenditures from the General Fund each year; pointed out that the City has had to
pull funds from the Reserve Funds; stated that the City is challenged by the ability to afford to
have a police department; pointed out that the decisions are focused on sustainability;

Request by Councilmember Ricardo Pacheco for discussion and direction to staff on the
following:
• Consider alternative options for offsetting the Police Departments budget constraints. I
propose the council to direct the Police Chief and Captain to immediately advertise and
seek other cities or public agencies needing police services.
Councilmember Pacheco asked that Council consider alternatives, including
soliciting other cities that may need law enforcement services which do not wish or
are unable to contract with the County Sheriffs, with the intent of possibly offsetting
the cost by providing police services to these other areas that are in need.
Discuss the Baldwin Park Police Association letter dated January 29, 2013 in
regards to the Los Angeles Sheriffs Phase II Study and the October 2012 PERS
Public Safety Plan Annual Report.
Councilmember Pacheco stated that he will seek clarification on the data and figures
provided in the Study and Annual Report; expressed empathy for law enforcement
staff who may be anxious and feeling unclear about the future of their jobs;
reassured officers that alternatives are being explored and that he will seek guidance
from legal counsel to determine what information related to the negotiations can be
published in the NOW Newsletter and disseminated to the community.
Councilmember Pacheco, as a side note, stated that the agenda was in slight err in
that the zoning code amendment he wished to have considered was not for a
bus /automotive storage yard in the industrial commercial zone but to allow parking
and storage of mini buses. He pointed out that mini bus owners are sometime
caught in a difficult situation because of zoning ambiguities and he asked that staff
look at the zoning and develop some solutions to bring back for Council
consideration.

RETURN TO COUNCIL REQUESTS
2/6/13
Councilmember Garcia referred back to the first of two items for discussion that Councilmember
Pacheco had presented on the agenda; stated that she was under the understanding that
Councilmember Pacheco had made a motion on the matter and she expressed her objection to
the item.
Councilmember Pacheco subsequently made a motion to approve the request of the first item
which would entail exploring alternatives and strategies to offset the costs associated with law
enforcement services.
Councilmember Rubio pointed out that Councilmember Pacheco's request is to explore
alternatives and that she is unclear on why there is an objection to this.
Councilmember Pacheco inquired as #o whether to objection stemmed from the direction that
staff immediately advertise and seek other cities or public agencies needing police services.
pon confirmation by Councilmember Garcia, Councilmember Pacheco restated his motion to
eliminate the immediate advertisement but to direct staff to look at potential opportunities to
provide services to other municipalities to offset costs. Councilmember Garcia reasserted her
objection again.
With that, Councilmember Pacheco recanted his revised motion and made motion to approve
the request in full as presented on the agenda. Councilmember Rubio seconded the motion
and Councilmember Garcia objected.
Motion by Councilmember Pacheco, seconded by Councilmember Rubio, vote failed (2 -3).

Absent: None.

Councilmember Pacheco then requested that information relating to negotiations with the Police
Officers Association be published in the NOW newsletter.
Mayor Lozano noted that there are other municipalities that have taken similar action and that
publishing the on the website information from both sides of the negotiation may be an option
that would disseminate the information more broadly. Councilmember Pacheco was in
agreement and Council suggested that staff review the City of San Gabriel website to use as a
guide.
Councilmember Garcia reported on her recent attendance at the ICA conference. Some of the
subjects covered included "How to take charge of political and litigation threats from your safety
unions;" group communication also included examining cost - saving measured being
implemented by fire departments due to the increased medical calls occurring from those who

background.

PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS
Mayor Lozano opened Public Communications at 6:10 p.m.
Resident of Vineland Ave. Baldwin Park, expressed gratitude for the Council's support in
deterring the commercial project by rejecting proposal; noted that there is are at least ten
residential care facilities in Baldwin Park and there is a halfway house located just down the
street from the proposed project site; pointed out that the facility would create a negative effect
with the increase in traffic, parking problems, bright lighting, noise from sirens; expressed the
commitment of the surrounding residents to do whatever they can to help the city fight and win
[the pending litigation].
Resident of Vineland Ave. Baldwin Park, opined that the project does not provide any benefit to
the citizens; pointed out that a facility at this same location created problems with traffic, parking
and a criminal element; offered assistance in supporting the fight against the project.
Resident of Vineland Ave. Baldwin Park, commented on the petition circulated in the area;
noted that it is disappointed that it had to come to this [litigation] but that residents will continue
to fight; opined that the area is not suitable for this type of facility, particularly because there is
an elementary school just down the street and that the negative impact of the project will
destroy the community feel.
Resident of Vineland Ave. Baldwin Park, supported the comments of his father who spoke
previously; stated that it is obvious that none of the residents want this to go forth and that he
will continue to be the most vocal in opposing this project; inquired with the City Attorney about
the requirements of a Conditional Use Permit as it seems the developers are trying to buy their
way in; also asked the City Attorney whether, when the case has been adjudicated and should
the city win, does the developer have to pay the City's legal fees and attorneys' costs;
volunteered to provide whatever assistance may be useful in fighting the project.
City Attorney Tafoya noted that many of the questions asked here will be addressed at the
community meeting scheduled for December 15th
Page 1 of 3
Terry Muse, Vineland Ave. resident, pointed out that the property has been blighted for many,
many years and residents do not trust that the project will be a benefit to the community; also
pointed out that the building is aged and suffers from structural damage from a fire, likely has
asbestos and lead paint; questions why the property is not being used to develop more homes
or some other use that would benefit the community.
Christina Rodriquez, Vineland Ave. resident, pointed out that she has lived in her home since
1967 and that she fears that the increase in traffic, noise and pollution will taint the
neighborhood; stated that she supports the other residents in opposing the project.
Olivia Sasueta a resident living on Stitchman for 35 years, opined that the traffic is already too
busy and that she is concerned when walking with her grandchildren; stated that she does not
feel the facility is right [for that area].
Walter Jovell a resident living on Stitchman, wanted to add that the property has never been
cared for properly and that the facility does not belong there [in that neighborhood]; opined that
it doesn't make sense for two similar facilities to be so close together; echoed the comments of
other residents in that it presents a risk to the elementary school.
Javier Ramon resident on Stitchman, expressed appreciation for Council's support in fighting
the project and affirmed his commitment to fighting it as well; provided a suggested alternate
location for the facility; expressed hopes that the City Attorney will identify case law to support a
decision in favor of Baldwin Park.
Mike Duran a resident on Vineland Ave., stated that, as a pastor, he would prefer that the
property be used for a housing development; echoed the feelings of other residents who have
spoken previously.
Unidentified resident on Stitchman, having lived the same neighborhood for her entire life,
expressed her gratitude to Council for fighting against the development and her opposition to
the project.
Mayor Lozano pointed out that the courts will make the final decision but that Council will do
everything in their power to battle the project and receive a favorable ruling in litigation.
City Attorney Tafoya restated the date and time of the community meeting and asked that
residents bring their questions to that meeting where the Council can answer questions more
specifically.

Page 1 of 3
different mixed unit scenarios, explaining the caveats of each. Following the
presentation, members of Montebello Housing staff answered questions of Council.
Members of Council asked what the percentage of any of the Concepts (A through D)
was for veterans - affordable housing and whether the area residents had been
canvassed to determine what their vision /desire is for development in the area; Council
pointed out that there are already more than one veterans memorials in the city and that
some other ideas should be explored; Council also pointed out that there are property
tax issues that need to be considered before moving forward with a decision.
While Council was considerate of the desire to enter into an exclusive negotiation
agreement, there was also a feeling that additional consideration needed to be given to
the various concepts presented and, therefore, the item was continued to the January
21, 2014, Study Session and Special Meeting.

PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS
Mayor Lozano opened Public Communications at 7:06 p.m. and noted that each speaker is
permitted a total of three (3) minutes to speak.
Al Luna, Baldwin Park resident, opined that the city is giving away opportunities to generate
revenue; stating that the community is getting nothing in return; says that something should be
given in return when a developer is allowed to build; asked that Council tell how much business
they have brought into the community that generates revenue.
Danny Cronza, New Beginnings Ministry, introduced himself and invited the city to partner with
the New Beginnings Ministry; noted that the Ministry opens its food bank every Friday and
invites those in need to come in.
John Rios, Baldwin Park resident, expressed concern regarding the notification to residents
regarding Parks and Recreation events as well as Planning Commission and Housing issues
that are not being properly disseminated to the residents; noted that the NOW Newsletter is not
an effective way of providing notification since it is not published frequently enough and are
often tossed aside; noted that many people of fixed income cannot afford to buy newspaper
subscription and that the City should be mailing notices to resident; opined that the City should
be working with the community to insure good communication and that the proposed projects
are in line with what the people want.
Greg Tuttle, Baldwin Park business owner, opined that there is a serious lack of communication
with the community; noted that there are CDBG funds available and that City Housing should be
working with local churches to identify those who are in need of assistance; echoed the opinion
of others with regard to noticing the community about proposed changes; voices strong
objection to the current lawsuit with Vineland Keystone and expression confusion as to why the
City would spend so much money on a lawsuit over blighted property; stated that the property
had previously been an assisted living facility and that those residents who purchased in the
neighborhood knew that a the time they purchased; opined that Council should not be promising
what can't be done.
Magda Torrellas, Planning Commissioner, expressed appreciation for the NOW Newsletter but
noted that the publication frequency is insufficient for use as notification source; suggested that
distribution electronically would seem to be more cost effective rather than seeing so many of
the printed newsletters thrown away; suggested canvassing the community to determine how
residents feel about the publication, what method should be used to disseminate it, how
frequently it should be published and who is reading it.
Jose Lopez, Baldwin Park resident, inquired about zoning and building requirements for building
a `mother -in -law' unit at property located at 4856 Lante Street, where his parents have property.
Mayor Lozano informed him that that very matter would be coming up for discussions in January
2015 and asked Mr. Lopez to speak to staff to determine when the subject will be covered.
Seeing no others wishing to speak, Mayor Lozano closed Public Communications at 7:25 p.m.

REQUIREMENTS AT SECTION 150.250 ET SEQ. OF THE BALDWIN PARK MUNICIPAL CODE."
LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved this Ordinance as to form.
BACKGROUND
On April 15, 2009, City Council approved Ordinance 1325, which added Sections 150.250 - 150.261 to the
Baldwin Park Municipal Code (BPMC), requiring the owners of vacant and /or abandoned properties to register
said property and to maintain the property in accordance with community standards in order to address the
issues created by the foreclosure crisis. The adoption of Ordinance 1325 has helped to mitigate some of the
issues created by properties in foreclosure that had become vacant and abandoned. Subsequently, the Vacant
and Abandoned Property Registration Program (VAPR) was implemented.
The City had previously contracted with an outside vendor to assist with facilitating the VAPR Program, but the
contract expired in August 2014 and was not renewed. Subsequently, on November 5, 2014, Council approved
and authorized staff to recall the duties back from the vendor and administer the VAPR Program in- house.
This Ordinance was introduced and read, by title only, at the City Council Meeting of December 17, 2014. The
original intent of the code was to apply to properties in Foreclosure whether they are occupied or not. Adoption
of this Ordinance will clear up the language and remove any ambiguity.
ATTACHMENT
