• Greg Tuttle, Baldwin Park business owner, voiced his discontentment with the ongoing labor
negotiations; opined that the fact that the process is dragging on indicates that there are internal
problems; implied that it appears that certain Councilmembers are trying to make compensation
promises that will result in a need to raise taxes later; pointed out that a consultant who
specializes in labor negotiations should have been hired a long time ago; demanded that
Council stop procrastinating and resolve any internal discontent.
Al Luna, Baldwin Park resident, stated that everyone needs to work together and that Council is
charged with representing the entire community and not a select few; claimed that nothing is
getting done and that there needs to be collaboration in solving problems; opined that, rather
than promoting and giving a raise to an individual, the funds should be shared amongst more
staff member; claimed that the City is making decisions with fiscal impact and then passing on
the bill to the residents.
