the necessity of addressing Council as a whole, rather than individual member.
Ken Woods, Baldwin Park resident, prefaced his comments by saying that, as long as he does
not yell `fire' in a building, as long as he does not disrupt the meeting and as long as he does
not use profanity, he is going to say what he wants during Public Communications; commented
on spend $50,000 to conduct a study on the demographics of Baldwin Park; asked that he be
provided with a cost report of how much it is costing the City to replace the commissioners.
Unidentified speaker, voiced objection because she is seeking information of a residential
property in Baldwin Park but has been told that the information cannot be provided due to
privacy laws, yet she was told that she can go to the Assessor's Office and get the information
there; asked why they can provide it to her but the City cannot.
Al Contreras, Baldwin Park resident, asked that an explanation of Item No. 8 be provided prior
to approving it as part of the Consent Calendar so that others in the audience can understand
the purpose and nature of the item.
Angie Massies-Mendez, Children-Teen Librarian, Baldwin Park Library, accompanied by
Amanda Sarroto, also of the Baldwin Park Library, narrated the calendar of events for the library
in the Children-Teen section; noted that many of the upcoming events are very educational and
provide opportunities to learn about history.
Terri Muse, President of Baldwin Park Business Association, George Silva, Vice President of
the Association and Manager of the SCE Credit Union, and Tracy Agueri, Branch Manager of

event for Marina's Mixed Boxing and Martial Arts Center; also announced the "Lunch with the
Regular Meeting of March 2, 2016 Page 2 of 11
Baldwin Park Bunch," an informal networking opportunity for local business owners and others
interested in the local business community.
Unidentified speaker, as translated by City Clerk Alejandra Avila, requested that the schools be
left alone; asked whether consideration has been given to the risk that may be presented if the
schools [fields] are open; noted that children find drug paraphernalia or other illicit items that
could be of danger to them; opined that the City cannot insure the safety of the children; opined
that the proposed developments would not provide a bright future to the youth of the community
since it would only be supported by retailers who fail to support their workers by ignoring OSHA
requirements and other regulations and guidelines.
John Rios, Baldwin Park resident, commented on Item No. 8, saying that changes would need
to be done at the state level; opined that Council should be minding their own conduct and
reflect on the recent episodes of calling people names; stated that the police department needs

is fraudulent; announced that on two recent reports from Closed Session were inaccurate in the
voting results.

entire rules of decorum be published on the back page of the agendas; asked that Council
conduct themselves in a professional and civil manner just as they expect from those speaking
during public communication.
Seeing no others wishing to speak, Public Communications closed at 8:04 p.m.
Mayor Lozano stated that, with regard to the schools and proposal for open space, he is
seeking to have the fields at schools open for public use; opined that the implication that
there will be problems with drug and alcohol users is not well founded; noted that the City
will work with the schools and the intent is to promote youth sports and enjoyment of the
outdoors.
Mayor Lozano stated that the Code of Conduct being presented for Council approval on this
evening's agenda is no different than those of Azusa and other surrounding cities; noted that
the intent is to promote respectful and civil communication.
Mayor Lozano also stated that Mr. Tuttle is wrong in his assertion that the decision to pursue
legal action against him was by a 5-0 vote, but that Mr. Tuttle is correct in stating that the
correct vote for the dismissal of Mr. Castagnola was a 3-2 vote, not a 5-0 vote.
Councilmember Rubio stated that she did not want to violate the confidentiality of Close
Session but that she has to clarify that there was no vote on the matter pertaining to Mr.
Tuttle. There was directive to staff to take action but there was no vote. There was another
case that was being discussed and the vote that was taken pertained that that matter, not
the matter of Mr. Tuttle. Councilmember Baca concurred.
Regular Meeting of March 2, 2016 Page 3 of 11

objections were heard so the motion carried.

against Mr. Tuttle and that he fears for himself, his wife and his child, as Mr. Tuttle is a
harasser.
Councilmember Baca voiced support for the comments of Mrs. Vargas, and expressed her
dismay for how she and Councilmember Rubio are treated by fellow councilmembers;
pointed to many instances in which she is being called names or there are implications of
political misconduct.

listen to the community; pointed out that she is very interactive with the community and puts
thought into the decisions she makes; she supports a respectful exchange of views,
regardless of whether they are similar or at odds.
Councilmember Pacheco noted that, despite all the discussion, the City has been working
by upgrading streets and community parks, working on updating equipment and recruiting
quality staff to the police department and, at the end of the day, the city of Baldwin Park is a
great place to live.

Baldwin Park, California, Establishing Underground Utility District 16-1 on Baldwin Park

provide for a Certified Farmers Market and Street Fair.
Councilmember Baca made a motion to have this item be held over until the first or
second meeting in April to allow more time for reviewing the proposal and to answer
some outstanding questions.
Councilmember Rubio stated that she is supportive of the proposal but opined that the
program should be launched in increments or stages to insure public participation
meets expectations and secures the program's success; noted that a six month period
is a great deal of time and her previous experience has shown that it is difficult to get
Regular Meeting of March 2, 2016 Page 6 of 11
these types of events to "catch on;" Councilmember Rubio asked that the Directory
Carrillo speak to previous experience in introducing this type of program.
Director Carrillo explained that about 15 years ago, the City launched a similar
program that was to include a farmer's market but it was successful for only about 12
weeks and the vendor demographic turned more towards a swap-meet rather than a
farmer's market. He did, however, also note that this agreement and program
provides for a Certified Farmer's Market, so participation of vendors will be geared to
that end.
With that, Councilmember Rubio stated that she would still like to see the event be
held for a shorter period of time to start with and later add as momentum builds;
seconded the motion to hold the agreement over and bring it back at one of the two
meeting in April.
Councilmember Pacheco inquired as to whether six months would be a reasonable
period of time and sought a suggested time period rather than what is being proposed.
Councilmember Baca noted that the Street Fair, in its first year, had a weak start;
concurred that its current success is undeniable but that she has additional questions,
concerns about how this event will affect local businesses and shares the concerns
that Councilmember Rubio has defined.
As discussion continued, it was pointed out that it will provide revenue to the City and
will also save the City the cost of hosting the Street Fair as it did the past two years;
noted that the vendor would administer the entire process. It was suggested that the
length of time be shortened, possibly starting closer to the summer months, in order to
insure that the turnout would warrant the time and expense for the farmer's market
vendors.
Jerry Diaz, Green Leaf Events, Inc., explained some of the opportunities and
challenges with changing the time frame and/or day of the week on which the event
would be held. Mr. Diaz explained that he has an established list of produce vendors
that can commit to the schedule proposed in the agreement; noted that changes may
result in vendors being unavailable or that the cost may be prohibitive if vendors have
to purchase a three-month permit for an event only one month long.
Following discussion, Mayor Lozano recited the motion made by Councilmember Baca
to hold this item and bring it back before Council at the first meeting in April; voiced his
objection to the motion and called for a roll call vote by the City Clerk.
A motion was made by Baca, seconded by Rubio, to hold the Green Leaf Events
agreement until the first regular meeting in April; the motion failed by a 3-2 vote
with Mayor Lozano, Mayor Pro Tern Garcia and Councilmember Pacheco voting
No.
Mayor Lozano made a motion to approve the agreement with a start date of April 7, as
defined in the Agreement; Mayor Pro Tern Garcia seconded the motion.
A motion was made by Lozano, seconded by Garcia, and carried (5 — 0) to
approve the Agreement with Green Leaf Events, Inc., as present with a start date
of April 7, 2016, with a contract term of two years, to provide for a Certified
Farmers Market and Street Fair.

TO THE CITY'S MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO RULES OF DECORUM AT

CODE RELATING TO THE RULES OF DECORUM AT COUNCIL MEETINGS."
Mayor Lozano began by explaining that the Ordinance being presented will not, in
any way, violate a speaker's First Amendment right to expressing themselves; what
is being adopted is similar to those already passed by surrounding cities.
Councilmember Pacheco noted that speakers can say almost anything that is within
the rights of the First Amendment, however when speakers make statements that
are untrue or may be harmful to a person's reputation, they expose themselves to
possible legal action.
