Mr. Nordby explained that he was not committed to any one individual Councilman, and that up to this time no one knew what his recommendation would be. 00- Councilwoman Gregory stated she had discussed this with Chief Administrative Officer Nordby today, that she did not feel the Council had all the facts; that if taxes were the only source of revenue she would be able to defend the action; that.-fees, etc., would defray some of the cost. She stated there are many ways to acquire money for an expanded, planned, and better recreation service for Baldwin Park without establishing a high recreation tax rate at this time. A program should be established, a General Plan studied by the Park Commission, and ways of obtaining additional money for these parks re- commended. There are many unanswered questions, by the County and the City Staff and in. view of previous dis- cussion the dissolution of the Park District should have been better planned for the action results in a loss to the people of Baldwin Park in budgeted funds. That there is still the question of approx- imately $168,000.00 that is due to the taxpayers of Baldwin Park by the sale of some 14 acres of Barnes Park by the County to the State Highway Division. There is a verbal agreement between the County and the City that street improvements will be made in exchange for that money. If this were to become a fact this service, although not actually money,.should be matched by the City and returned to the Park Fund. A joint program, between the City and the School District, to provide Walk to Parks" on a part of each school property should also be studied by the Commission. The procedure outlined in the State Education Code authorizes cities, counties and school districts to enter into an agreement to organize, promote and conduct programs of community recreation, establish systems, and acquire, construct, improve, maintain and operate recreation centers within or without the territorial limits of the public authority.- We need to establish a tax levy that is adequate. With no other source of revenue the 38e, levied upon the recommendation of the park advisory board, was to finance the recreation building. The City is now in the recreation business. I know 331 will maintain the operation and now it will be better. The staff is adequate. I will not be part of a Council to saddle the people with more taxes. We have a 61¢ property tax now it won't stay that way--- 33¢ Continued) August 18, 1967 Page 2 COUNCILWOMAN GREGOR FEELS COUNCIL DOES NOT, HAVE ALL FACTS: IF TAXES WERE ONLY SOURCE OF REVENUE WOULD DEFEND ACTION: THAT FEES WOULD DEFRAY SOME OF THE COST BIB] 39576-U01 1967-U02 08-U02 18-U02 CC-U02 MIN-U02 LI1-U03 FO9994-U03 FO117023-U03 DO117053-U03 C4-U03 MINUTES1-U03 5/7/2008-U04 ROBIN-U04 ADJOURNED-U05 CITY-U06 COUNCIL-U06 1967 08 18 CC MINHÄ—@¸—4CÍ«3533rt,r I Adjourned Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council August 18, 1967 Page 3 will result in a 944 property tax. I am thinking of the overall tax for the city. 334 i s f a i r I f we have to increase in future years the people will understand. I will not go for any more the 334. Councilman Adair stated he had promised people the tax would be cut and that in his opinion 334 was ample; that there would be a 13% cost of Administration savings in the future. Councilman McCaron discussed areas in and out of the district and revenue; stating he would be In favor of 354 this year as a safeguard and then if possible make an adjustment the following year.
