Councilman Gregory stated that she objected to the long term basis of building the church facility in phases; that she would hope that the people sponsoring the church would come in with a complete package and do the building all at once as this would be more fair to the citizens in the area; that it has been the City's experience on long term projects that walls are never put up nor adequate parking facilities installed; that adjoining property owners like their privacy and if waits, landscaping, etc. are not installed at the very beginning of development they are never put in. TESTIMONY: TESTIMONY Mr. Anthony Gonzates, 14420 Merced, stated that the people in the area do not want a church in that location as the large land parcels are more suitable for commercial development. ANTHONY GONZALES 14420 MERGED Rev. McCatI stated that regarding their long range plans, they intended to curb, gutter and sidewalk the frontage and landscape, then 100 feet of wall and 420 feet of driveway in the back and that he felt this would improve the land right away. f Councilman Gregory asked how large a congregation would be attending the church. Rev. McCalt stated about 135" and that their present facility was inadequate. Councilman Gregory stated that in that case the building on the property may be inadequate. Rev. McCall responded that their attendance is about 5Q% to 55% per Sunday. Councilman Hamilton stated he sympathized with the pastor but that this area was near the freeway and the trend of usage was toward commercial. Mayor McCaron stated that this case would be continued to the next regular meeting March 17, 1971) and that the Planning Commission be asked for a report and recommendation on the land development, the prospects for the area, and the trend of usage.

He read the letter. Copy in offical files.) Mayor McCaron stated this is property where the street was just vacated and some additional property was turned over to the church, and he asked Planning Director Chivetta whether the property was still R-1. Mr. Chivetta replied that it was. Mayor McCaron asked whether they planned to run printing presses on this property. Planning Director Chivetta stated not as a commercial or industrial function. Dr. Lovett stated that the entire congregation is involved with printing the literature. He stated they mail across the country, but probably wouldn't be doing so within six months. He stated people send them money but it is a non-profit op6ration. Councilman Blewett stated he understood that this organization was the largest mailer in Baldwin Park. Councilman King stated that the Staff Report indicates that the Code permits nonhabitable accessory buildings to be located on the property line in residential zones; however, the warehouse will be habitable; therefore, it does not come under that classification. He asked Planning Director Chivetta to clarify this. Mr. Chivetta stated the entire structure is habitable because it now has office uses. He stated it is a situation where there is no accessory building with no people in it. Planning Director Chivetta stated the only way the proposed structure would qualify would be to require that no personnel will be operating in any portion of the structure either existing or proposed. The office facility will have to be moved out of that building and then it will be nonhabitable. Councilman King stated that if Council allowed this because it is a church and a non-profit group, etc., would it be done for others. Councilman Hamilton stated we have done it many times in the City of Baldwin Park. We did it a month or so ago for an apartment house. Councilman King stated he recalled, and then the Council required the building have masonry walls to add to the esthetic value. Planning Director Chivetta stated he recalled Council had approved a garage located on a property line. A garage is a nonhabitable structure, so does not apply to this warehouse. Mayor McCaron asked whether there was a shortage of ground on the property. Dr. Lovett stated not at all. He stated they would like to have the 5 feet, but would be happy with 10 feet or whatever is allowed. Councilman King stated the staff recorrmended 5Q% reduction, and Dr. Lovett stated that would be alt right. Mayor McCaron asked whether there were any future plans for development. Dr. Lovett stated not for the next five years. He stated there were plans for a Fellowship Hall, but that is five years away. Mayor McCaron suggested they have a plan of development drawn up and bring it in for approval.

RF RELATING TO COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY Proper publication and postings had been accomplished. PUBLICATION & POSTINGS City Manager Nordby presented a brief resume of the history RESUME COPIES OF and purpose of the Community Redevelopment Law. Copies of CITY MANAGER'S MEMO the City Manager's memorandum to the City Council ent-tled TO COUNCIL RE Community Redevelopment Law" dated February 23, 1971 were COMMUNITY distributed to the audience. The City Manager suggested REDEVELOPMENT LAW that each person read and study this memorandum before DISTRIBUTED TO coming to a decision on the value and purpose of the proposed AUDIENCE Ordinance. Mr. Nordby reviewed the situation in which the City of Baldwin Park finds itself, i.e. high taxes, a tax base, tow revenue from sates and use taxes, etc. He stated he did not originate the idea of a C.R.A., but it was first mentioned years ago by Simon Eisner, when the General Plan was completed for the City. City Manager Nordby referred to an editorial in the Los Angeles Times on February 15 regarding state property tax for educational support. He stated the article indicates that in Beverty Hitts, one dollar of property tax money provides $873 for each student, while each dollar of Baldwin Park property tax provides only $54 for each student, and stated it did not appear this was equal educational opportunity and further pointed out the deplorable tax picture in Baldwin Park. Mr. Nordby stated that the Southern California Research Council had prepared some information five or six years ago, at which time the average per capita return for all 75 cities in Los Angeles County was $19.63; that same year, Baldwin Park's was $5.08, slightly over 2}%. The average return on property tax was $2,116; Baldwin Park's was $984, less than 50^. Relatively, Baldwin Park must compete on the same labor market as the other cities in the area, and must pay comparable wages to obtain high caliber employees. City Manager Nordby discussed the matter of eminent domain. He compared it to the elements of fire and water, pointing out that these elements could be good or dangerous, depending on how they were used, and the same relates to eminent domain. He stated eminent domain is dangerous if it is not in the proper hands; however, the people elect their representatives and have the safeguard of referendum and removing them from office. He stated that, in an attempt to lower the taxes, the City has done several things in the last year. One of them was to set up a Division of Commercial and Industrial Development, with Mrs. Betty Codling as Director. The purpose of this Division is to assist potential developers in the selection of sites and land acquisition; what it ultimately wilt do is relieve the taxpayers of high taxation and tow assessed valuation. Mr. Nordby stated the City is attempt!^g to do something positive, and he feels the C.R.A. is one of the ways it can proceed. He stated that in 1964 the Baldwin Park Improvement Association wrote a tetter to the City suggesting several things; one of these was urban renewal to obtain a Continued) BIB] 37659-U01 1971-U02 03-U02 03-U02 CC-U02 MIN-U02 LI1-U03 FO9591-U03 FO9838-U03 DO9974-U03 C4-U03 MINUTES1-U03 2/6/2003-U04 ROBIN-U04 REGULAR-U05 SESSION-U05 CITY-U06 COUNCIL-U06 1971 03 03 CC MIN(ÌìÙ‡peCW4807 Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park C-ity Council March 3, 1971 Page 12 site for a new civic center. He stated that urban renewal was similar to the state-authorized Community Redevelopment Agency. City Manager Nordby cited an example of what can happen when the City does not have the power of condemnation. He stated that in 1970 the Planning Commission and Planning Staff developed a proposal to improve an area in the north- east portion of the City. In the neighboring community, some people owned twelve acres which were appraised at $11,000; their mortgage was $7,000. The offer made to the owners was $15,000, which was over and above the appraised value fixed by three appraisers, plus allowing them to retain their structure, buying them another lot, and moving the structure. The owners wanted the City to cancel any litigation against them, pay the fees, and wanted to clear $25,000. City Manager Nordby stated he thinks Urban Renewal and C.R.A. must be used prudently; that people are afraid of the words. Mayor McCaron asked Mr. Nordby to explain the specific difference between urban renewal and eminent domain. The City Manager stated that essentially, the procedure for urban renewal is federal and involves Federal Grants and money; the federal government wilt pick up three fourths of the costs and the city picks up the remaining 2S%. In this case, and unlike the state-authorized C.R.A., the city must provide the funds, from it treasury, general obligation bonds, etc. Major difficulties experienced in urban renewal projects have been extremely long delays in completion, and a tremendous amount of red tape". TESTIMONY WAS GIVEN BY: TESTIMONY Gloria Zook, 4817 N. La Rica, asked whether Mrs. Codling GLORIA ZOOK would head the agency. Mr. Nordby stated that Mrs. Codling 4817 N. LA RICA is an active division head, whose purpose is to try to promote development generally throughout the City. Mrs. Zook asked who would head the agency, and City Manager Nordby stated a professional manager, or someone with experience in this type of position. Mrs. Zook commented she didn't see how the city could afford a high-paid department head. Ed Lowers, 15112 Nubia, asked who would be in charge of ED LOWERS determining where blighted areas were. Mr. Nordby stated 15112 NUBIA that standards of blight are generally determined by the designating agency. Councilman Blewett commented you have to took at the services being provided to the area, and the service to the municipality, and determine whether the area is paying its way". Mr. Lowers stated Baldwin Park was paying the highest taxes of any city. Councilman Btewett stated Mr. Lowers had just made the best point for the Agency. He pointed out that the City of Covina is smaller in area and in population than Baldwin Park, but Covina has an assessed valuation of $86,000,000 as compared to Baldwin Park's $49,000,000, white Baldwin Park has 20,000 more citizens for whom services must be provided. He stated people are fighting taxations at the municipal level, but the problem is at the state level, because we do not have statewide property taxes. Mr. Lowers stated the citizens were afraid of giving the Council too much power, and giving them the right to take people's homes. Councilman Hamilton stated that before an area is approved for condemnation, the property owner goes before the Planning Commission, then can have a hearing before the City Council.

Mr. Lowers stated he has seen cases where many people have opposed something, but they have been overruled. Roy Zook, 4817 La Rica, stated he felt this Ordinance was being snuk" through. He stated he didn't even know what eminent domain was and he wanted to know how much it was going to cost the City of Baldwin Park to get this thing rolling. City Manager Nordby stated that'the project was not far enough along to have determined costs, but once the project is completed, it will be on the black side of the ledger, with more revenue coming in over a long period of time. Mr. Zook stated there is no reason why people should not be informed about this matter, and stated if there hadn't been people at the last meeting who questioned it, it would have been put right through. Mayor McCaron explained that the Council has no intention of condemning any property or passing any ordinances without the knowledge of the citizens and without proper procedures. Mayor McCaron stated the C.R.A. gives the Council a tool to start any proceedings that might be necessary, but they will have to be justified in every respect; at that time, every- one concerned will have to be notified. Mr. Zook stated he would like to see some sort of a safe- guard on this-some way that the people can be assured their homes cannot be condemned, and stated it should be talked over with the people. Mayor McCaron stated this was the reason for the public hearing; the Council wants the people to understand what they are trying to do, and if the ordinance is still objectionable, it win be dropped. City Clerk Batkus again administered the oath. Mrs. Eugenia Igna, 12819 E. Garvey, stated that she under- stood her property is going to be taken by eminent domain, and according to a statement in the paper, purportedly made by Mr. Chivetta, it was worth $1.50 per square foot. She stated she has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to improve her property, and she is not going to sell it as though it were bare land. Councilman Gregory stated she had heard rumors and had received telephone calls regarding this, but she could obtain no names of those spreading the rumors or of the developers who were supposed to be coming in. She assured Mrs. Igna there was no basis for these rumors, because Council would be aware of any impending development in the City. Mrs. Igna stated she is supposed to spend $15,000 or more on her property, and asked, if a developer comes in two or three years, would he pay for what she is spending. City Attorney Ftandrick told Mrs. Igna that anyone would be paid fair market value for their property. He stated that if the parties cannot agree and it is a matter of condemnation, the fair market value would be decided by the Superior Court. Mr. Lowers asked why Council didn't take a vote by a show of hands of those in the audience. Mayor McCaron explained that this was not proper procedure, and could not be construed as the opinion of the entire citizenry. Andrew Nemeth, 1318 Virginia, directed a question to Mrs. Codling, Director of the Division of Commercial and Industrial Development. He asked whether the idea was that she would solicit business enterprises, then the City has an area selected that is designated a depressed area, and the redevelopment agency then takes control and proceeds Continued) ROY ZOOK 4817 LA RICA EUGENIA IGNA 12819 E.

Mrs. Codling replied that she works through the City Manager's office, and has nothing to do with the C.R.A. She stated that via letter and telephone contact, she is encouraging business to come into the City. When a developer is interested, he is shown properties that are available at the time. The developer would select the site in which he was interested, and contact the property owners. Mr. Nemeth stated his street was prime property for this type of development, and the people could be compelled to sell for what is fair market price, which according to City Engineer French was 77 cents per square foot. He stated he felt the City should not get involved with this thing. Councilman Btewett read a clipping from the Los Angeles Times regarding K-Mart's proposed development in El Monte which did not materialize as the article said the efforts of a selfish few have prevented the development". The development would have produced between a predicted $100,000 and $125,000 per year in sales tax revenue resulting in a 10 cent reduction per $100 assessed valuation on the property tax dollar. He commented that the Shop-N-Town Center was supposed to have been 16 acres, but is only 4 acres because one property owner wanted an unreasonable amount for his property. He stated that C.R.A. would be used for any person who was a real hold out; the developer would be making his own deal with a11 the property owners. Councilman Btewett commented that rejection of this idea, could result in no taxation relief to the property owners should this City find itself in the same position as El Monte. He further stated that revenue sharing is not the answer—development is. Councilman Hamilton stated that Baldwin Park has been a City for 15 years, and the Council has tried to develop in a small way, but if you get one hold out in the middle of a development, it costs each citizen plenty. Councilman Hamilton stated that if we are going to get our share of the tax dollar, the City needs this agency; it is the only way we can speed up the development of the city. He further indicated that what could be done in five years will take 20 years under the old system. Mr. Walter, 13257 Dart Street, stated he is a recent buyer MR. WALTER in Baldwin Park, having come from the state of Michigan, 13257 DART STREET where his family had an experience with eminent domain. He related that his parents owned 20 acres, which was con- demned because the City wanted to build a school. The price paid them was $10,000. In a neighboring city which did not have the condemnation law, people were paid $40,000 for the same number of acres by a private concern because they felt it was worth that much. The law became such a political issue that it was eventually thrown out, because it was so objectionable. Mr. Waiter stated he felt certain his property would not be condemned, but he felt we must be concerned with each other. He commented that everyone is talking about bringing business into the City, but nobody seems concerned about the citizens staying. Mr. Walter stated he feels City Council should explain its position in writing to every citizen in Baldwin Park, and allow the people to vote on it. Councilman King stated that everyone feels strongly about power or authority. He indicated that Council wilt act as its constituents want; the Councilmen are not going to push anything through without the citizens being fully aware of what it going on. Councilman King stated he was not for or against the C.R.A. at this point; it has a lot of merit, but Continued) BIB] 37659-U01 1971-U02 03-U02 03-U02 CC-U02 MIN-U02 LI1-U03 FO9591-U03 FO9838-U03 DO9974-U03 C4-U03 MINUTES1-U03 2/6/2003-U04 ROBIN-U04 REGULAR-U05 SESSION-U05 CITY-U06 COUNCIL-U06 1971 03 03 CC MIN(ÌìÙ‡peWl8fO Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council March 3, 1971 Page 15 so do the objections of the people. He suggested that everyone obtain information and become as informed as possible on the subject. Myrtle Asquith, 13138 Judith, stated that Ordinance No. 584 stipulates that the City Council is to be the redevelopment agency. She stated this appeared to be contradictory to Section 33111 of the Health and Safety Code, which states that no elected official or community employee can hold office in the redevelopment agency. City Attorney Ftandrick explained there was an alternative to the appointment of the members of the agency, which is set out in Section 33200 of the Health and Safety Code, and which states that the legislative body may, in certain cases, declare itself to be the agency, so it can be done in either of two ways. / James Garrow, 1011 North Baldwin Park Blvd., President of the Baldwin Park Improvement Association, Inc., read a letter echoing the feeling of the members of the Association, which asked that the Council consider the Ten Commandments insofar as coveting" their neighbors' properties. He stated the association was against the Ordinance. He felt developers would find property owners reasonable; that he feels progress in Baldwin Park over the last few years has been fine, and that the City has done a lot better than when it was part of the County. He stated the center of town should be set out for redevelopment. A tady, living in the block back of Shop-N-Town on Palm Avenue, stated she had been a resident for 16 years; that she had only been offered $14,000 for her property when Shop-N-Town was built and this was not sufficient. Councilman Hamilton stated that he personally knew that property in this area had sold for $1.20 a foot, however the last parcel sold for $5.60 a foot. He stated the City needs development and the Council was trying to take some action to do something for Baldwin Park so that development can take place. Mrs. Benefiel, 3077 North Maine, stated that she understood this could be put in a charter. City Attorney Ftandrick stated that C.R.A. can be done by either a Charter or a General Law City; that the City can only use condemnation for public uses and that C.R.A. can only be done by means of an Ordinance. Mr. Kenneth Thompson, 13818 Kenmore. stated he was against taking land for private use and that the City should stay out of the Real Estate business. Mr. Ken Atkins, 14228 Maine, asked if this is the same law used to develop the art museum. City Attorney Ftandrick stated it was not. Mr. Gten McCraken, 1413 Craigmont, stated if this were adopted he would move out of the City. Neit Howard, 3304 Maine, resident for 15 years, stated that Baldwin Park is last in education and that the community needs development.

Councilman Blewett stated that in Beverty Hills more money is available for school children, whereas Baldwin Park receives less money per child and it costs the tax payer more. He stated that a survey indicated that 92% of the children from Beverly Hills attend college and he doubts if 92% from Baldwin Park ever see a college, and he felt our children deserve better. Mrs. Dahl did not feet that the two cities were comparable. James Q. Gibson, 13268 Francisquito, stated he did not think eminent domain was the answer to the education problem; that this Ordinance would deprive children of their heritage; that he knows this Council, but they will not always be in office and officers are not always scrupulous. He feared for all the money the City had in the General Fund. He suggested the Ordinance be put to a vote of the people. City Manager Nordby stated he joined the City in January, 1963 and there was $39,000 in the General Fund, surplus, and zero in the bank. He said the City now has $250,000 on deposit and no bonded indebtedness. Mr. Volmert, 14236 Los Angeles Street, stated he was not in opposition but he would tike clarification. He stated when the City incorporated it was for the good of the people and he wondered if Baldwin Park people would be on the board, would they live in Baldwin Park and who would head the agency. City Attorney Flandrick explained the City Manager would direct the agency. Mr. Volmert asked if the head of the agency would be a department head and would the individual live in the City and have the Citys" interest at heart. Mayor McCaron stated that the Council would hold hearings. Jerry Meade, 3351 Nolina, stated that possibly many people had not read the material passed out to them; that he thought this would help the City and that although some few may get hurt the City over a11 would benefit. Henry Littlejohn, 4225 North Jerry, representing the Chamber of Commerce, stated that earlier in the meeting a gentleman had asked for a church in a business area and he wondered what would happen to the church if business came in. He stated the Chamber had voted in favor of the Ordinance. As there was no further testimony Mayor McCaron declared the public hearing dosed. Mayor McCaron stated that in view of the testimony an educational program would be beneficial; that when the Charter is put on the ballot this proposal could be put on the ballot as a separate item and that there be no further action at this time.

Price, 1014 Loma Verde Street, Monterey Park. asked to appear on the Agenda as a representative of Miss Cleoma Marcee, owner of property at 4848 and 4852 Elizabeth Street. Mr. Price stated that on November 2. 1970, Miss Marcee was sent a tetter to the effect that this building lacked hot and cold running water to the plumbing fixtures, had a lack of adequate heating facilities, lack of minimum amounts of natural tight and ventilation, dampness of habitable rooms, infestation of insects, vermin or rodents, general dilapidation or improper maintenance, deteriorated or inadequate foundation, defective or deteriorated flooring, flooring or floor supports of insufficient size to carry imposed toads with safety, Continued) E.

Mr. Price stated they were willing to remedy these inadequacies, with a few reservations. He further stated he wanted to obtain a building permit on this basis, but was denied it. City Engineer French stated City Council adopted a Resolution in December 1970 that gave the property owner 60 days to bring this property up to the Building Code, or demolish the structure. At the February 17, 1971 Council meeting, Mr. Price asked for two weeks to get everything in order so he could come in for a building permit. City Engineer French stated that at 3:30 this date, a representa- tive of Mr. Price came into his office with a plot plan to obtain a building permit. He stated the gentleman wrote on the plan what he intended to do, and the first thing he wrote was that he wanted to bring the structure up to the original condition. The City Engineer stated he asked the gentleman whether this was current code, and he stated no. The man had a permit as an owner-builder, signed by Mr. Golden who, to the best of the Engineering Department's knowledge, is not the owner. The man then began to fill out another permit as a contractor, and also told the City Engineer he was an interior decorator. City Engineer French stated he told the man to come in with something which would indicate he is a licensed contractor, a list of exactly what he planned to do to the structure, and informed him he must bring it up to the Building Code. The City Engineer stated he told the gentlemen he should also have, in writing, an indication that he was an agent of the owner. City Engineer French stated he had talked to John Marcee, Miss Marcee's nephew, at 4:00 p.m. this date, who said Mr. Price was not his agent; he talked to Mr. Marcee again at 7:00 p.m. this date, at which time Mr. Marcee indicated Mr. Price could speak for Miss Marcee tonight because he had promised to rehabilitate the building in a manner acceptable to everyone for $4,000. Mr. Price stated that the big point of conflict is that at the end of Resolution 70-299 it states the buildinq must be rehabilitated to the current Building Code or demolished. He stated that Mr. Conover, the building inspector, told him nothinq in the building would measure up to the present Building Code. City Engineer French stated the owner of the property had a structural engineer look at the property not over 30 days ago. By the owner's own statement, the structural engineer recommended nothing be don? to the buitdinp because it could not be brought up to the Code. Mr. Price asked, if he had a structural engineer say that this building would meet the requirements of the 1933 Act, or that it wnuld be as good a buildinq as when it was built, would the City Council release the matter. Mayor McCaron informed Mr. Price that City Council are not professionals, and when it comes to building and permits, they must rety on the City Engineer's recommendations. City Engineer French stated there had been two permits issued on the ornperty for specific work; the permits were finaled. and at the time, in writing to Miss Marcee, she was told the proposed work would not correct her problem and she should not proceed with the work, but she ignored the advice.

City Engineer French informed Mr. Price that there is a provision in the Code which will recognize the certification of a structural engineer if he can find one who will certify that the building is structurally sound, Mr. Price asked, if a structural engineer certifies that the building is structurally sound or would be made structurally sound by doing certain things to it. would this waive the requirement in the Resolution that it be brought up to current Building Code. Mayor McCaron reiterated the City Engineer's statements regarding the provision of the Code relating to this. Councilman Gregory suggested to Mr, Price that he come in to Mr. French's office the next morning and present his exact intentions as far as rehabilitation of the building, and the matter could be resolved at that time. She also suggested he bring the certification of a structural engineer to expedite the matter. Mayor McCaron'asked City Engineer French how long he felt it should take for the work to be completed. Mr. French replied he felt it was up to Mr. Price to perform immediately, since he already had been granted additional time and had failed to do any work. City Engineer French further stated that the property was in escrow, and the new owner was willing to tear down the structure; the City has also obtained a price for demolishing the structure. Councilman King stated it would appear the City has acted in good faith, and should act accordingly. He further stated Mr. Price was given two weeks to upgrade the property and has done nothing, and he felt the City Engineer should be the advisor in this case. Councilman Hamilton stated there are codes and laws to follow, and that is what Council must go by. Councilman Hamilton further stated that the City Engineer has made it very plain what must be done, and if Mr. Price is not going to do it, the building should be demolished. COUNCILMAN BLEWETT MOVED THAT MR. PRICE BE GIVEN AN ADDITIONAL TWO WEEKS TO SUBMIT PLANS AND OBTAIN A BUILDING PERMIT TO REHABILITATE THE PROPERTY AT 4848-52 ELIZABETH. COUNCILMAN HAMILTON SECONDED. There were no objections. The motion carried and was so ordered. 00- Mayor McCaron stated that because of the lateness.of the hour he would tike to discuss the matter of the proposed rate increase for Yellow Cab Company, since representatives of the company were in the audience. There were no objections. City Manager Nordby stated that representatives of the Yellow Cab Company were present to speak on behalf of the"jr proposal for a rate increase. Mr, 0. D. Stalians. 9724 Cordata Street, El Monte. President of Yellow Cab Company of the San Gabriel Valley, stated he had nothing additional to present, but would like to answer any questions Council might have.

Mr. Statians responded that he had never heard of such a rate, and stated that taxicabs have to be operated by a meter rate. Mayor McCaron asked Mr. Stallans how the proposed rate compares to the other cities, and whether it varies because of clientele, or the amount of service given, Mr. Stalians stated the rate they are applying for is about as high as the higher rates in the area, and the night rate is a little higher. Councilman Hamilton stated there have been many inquiries by the senior citizens who are concerned about the high cost now of riding a taxi on their limited incomes. He stated that Yellow Cab has no competition in the City, and there is a question in his mind as to whether the increase is justified; Baldwin Park is one of the poorer areas, and will have one of the highest rates. Mr. Stalians replied that the taxi is the only passenger- carrying service that isn't subsidized by the taxpayer today. He stated they are not here to make an exorbitant profit; if they were making a good profit they would not be requesting an increase. He further stated they had not had a rate increase in three and a half years. He commented that every time the rates are increased, they lose some passengers, but the increase is necessary. Mr. Stalians stated the night rate was a little higher because there were fewer cabs operating over a larger area at night, and this brings the night driver's wages more in line with the day driver's. Councilman Gregory asked whether the City has a franchise with Yellow Cab. City Attorney Flandrick stated it does; however, it is a non-exclusive franchise, which does not prohibit someone else from coming into the City and setting up a taxicab business. Councilman Gregory asked whether the City realized any revenue from the business, and the City Attorney stated only from the business license fees. Councilman Gregory referred to a letter Council had received from Mrs. Norah Hatch, who works with many of the welfare people in Baldwin Park, and who is a member of the Service Council, in which she asks that action on this matter be delayed for further study to'try to find some way to help the senior citizens, either by a special rate or initiation of some form of a minibus transportation. Mrs. Gregory commented that there were very few younger people who ride taxicabs, and the older people who need transportation to do their shopping and other chores can least afford it. City Attorney Flandrick commented the request as made should be treated similarly to requests of the Public Utilities Commission for rate increases because Yellow Cab is, in effect, a utility, and it is up to the Council to decide whether the increase is fair and reasonable under a11 the circumstances. Whether or not people can afford the service is certainly a factpr to be considered, but you can't require they give a lesser rate to one class as opposed to another, because they are performing the same service for everyone. Mayor McCaron stated that in order to make a determination a financial statement would probably be required. Mr. Stalians stated that his accountant had prepared a financial statement this date. and he would leave a copy with Council.

Mr. Mitchell replied the matter would go before Council in that City next week. Councilman Gregory stated a fact to consider is that if the rates are increased, the passengers may not be able to afford to use the taxicabs, and if the rates are not increased, the company may withdraw the service; either way Baldwin Park may lose the services of Yellow Cab Company. Councilman Blewett stated he would like to defer action on this matter until possibly the first meeting in April, which would give the Council members time to confer with some of the other cities. He stated he understands West Covina has instituted some form of study, and he would be interested in the results. Mr. Stalians stated they would like action taken as soon as possible; Azusa has already acted on the matter, and he is anxious to begin operating on a uniform basis. Mayor McCaron asked whether one of the welfare agencies was supplementing some of the fares. Mr. Mitchell stated the Public Welfare Commission of Los Angeles County, who monitors the passenger rates, had to approve the increased rates before Yellow Cab could present them to the cities for approval.

Councilman King stated it would appear to be to the property owner's benefit to make the improvements now, since he owns all the lots. Councilman Gregory asked how long the street is, and City Enqineer French stated the cul de sac is 180 feet long. He stated these lots were developed before 60 feet of frontage were required. He further indicated the street is off of Central Avenue, and one side fronts the wash and the other side fronts the four lots. Councilman Hamilton asked whether the property owner was asking for waiver of curb and gutter also. City Engineer French stated curb and gutter are in, and sidewalk is in on the Central Avenue frontage, which the owner put in some time ago. Councilman Blewett stated he is opposed to sidewalking cul de sacs. Councilman King asked whether Mr, Staude's agreement to improve his parcel when the other parcels were improved would be binding. City Attorney Flandrick stated he would have to put the improvements in in the event he applies for a building permit, unless Council waives the other three parcels. Mayor McCaron stated he is not in favor of waiving sidewalks, because they are needed as much as curbs and gutters. Councilman Blewett asked how wide the street is, and City Engineer French stated he did not have the exact figure, but would estimate it as being 32 feet.

He stated the Committee's recommenda- tions are; 1) stop east/west traffic on North Ramona Boulevard at Merced, Stewart, and La Rica; 2) post both sides of Francisquito between Baldwin Park Boulevard and the southerly City limits as no parking", which would allow left-turn pockets on Francisquito; he stated that over a short period of time there had been 71 accidents, all relating to turning movements in this section between Hartland Hospital and Baldwin Park Boulevard; he further indicated that in terms of volume, this street carries from 17,000 to 25,000 cars per day, which is more volume than Ramona Boulevard carries; and 3) establish a 2-hour parking limit across from Baldwin Park High School. Councilman Blewett stated he did not feet Francisquito should be designated a no-parking area from Baldwin Park Boulevard to Paddy Lane. as this was residential and could be somewhat of a hardship, because these houses do not have adequate off-street parking to handle guests or other visitors.
