You further stated that numerous property owners, or in other terms, special interest groups, are demanding that you stay in as Mayor but more particularly CRA Chairman. For the many things that are taking place, I have grave concern for the City and taxpayers of Baldwin Park and therefore I could not, in good conscience, cast my vote in the affirmative for you." Councilman King affirmed his no vote for Mayor, stating that his reasons were that he had heard that he and Councilman Gregory were weak in the area of CRA, although they had voted for a particular area for CRA and now it appears that CRA is a topic for discussion not only with the Mayorship but other matters. He stated he had been kept in the dark with respect to some items developing on CRA and he was concerned that CRA should become so much of an issue with so many people who tend to benefit from it. He was also concerned that Motel 6 had pulled out of a zone change and now expects to be put under CRA; another is a tetter from Nichols lumber to be under CRA; another is that United Parcel expects to be put under the umbrella of CRA. The CRA Conrnittee would vote on whether a study would be made, but the study would be money out of taxpayers packets. He was concerned, not weak about it, that the area of CRA be left in the area it was originally intended and that the people voted for. He would have voted for Councilman McCaron for the reason that he shows good leadership in some of these areas. He was concerned about city problems and advocated caution. Mayor Hamilton stated it was a bit trying to be put in this position but he would try to answer some of the questions. He has worked and will continue to work to bring commercial and industrial development to the City, whether it is CRA or not. He understood there was a proposed feasibility study for Nichols Lumber and United Parcel but it has not been brought before this body as yet. He stated that before CRA was passed he had no intention of taking CRA out of Commercial areas and going into residential areas and he still felt the same, and if we can get development without CRA that's the way he would go. He had worked hard on the referendum election because he believed it was the only way to get development for the City as other cities have gotten development through CRA, and the majority of the people voted for CRA. To be Mayor is an honor and a privilege but he was not in this for self glory but was trying to do a job and what is best for out city. He is a resident and property owner and for the past 15 years has seen development go to surrounding cities. We have been unable to get our share and about 70% of our tax dollars are going outside the City. His sole aim is to get revenue for the City and he has no political gain nor any intention of running for office again. If the development now underway comes about this will employ about 1,000 people. 200 acres of vacant land north of town is now being studied by a developer. He is self-employed and always available. There are Senior Citizen, transportation and health service needs and the government cannot do it alone. Everyone has to help. With commercial and industrial development we will have money to work with. The only way we have now is Continued) BIB] 37658-U01 1975-U02 03-U02 05-U02 CC-U02 MIN-U02 LI1-U03 FO9591-U03 FO9726-U03 DO9858-U03 C4-U03 MINUTES1-U03 2/5/2003-U04 ROBIN-U04 REGULAR-U05 SESSION-U05 CITY-U06 COUNCIL-U06 1975 03 05 CC MIN(퓄K peC G0659/,; Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council March 5, 1975 Page 3 taxation and we are already overtaxed and that is the reason he agreed to take this seat again. No special interest has any influence over him and his concern is to bring in needed development. There is about 50 million dollars now that's right for develop- ment which could be within the next three years and this will mean tax dollars for the needs of the City. Councilman McCaron qualified his yes vote by saying that he thought the behavior shown here this evening partly indicates why he voted yes, for Councilman Hamilton to be Mayor. He stated he would not elab- orate on that any further. 00- MINUTES OF FEBRUARY 19, 1975 APPROVED AND FURTHER READING WAIVED. M/S/C: GREGORY/MC CARON.

Mayor Hamilton introduced Mrs. Margaret Burnett, newly elected member of the School Board. 00- Mr. Jack Ray, 12706 E. Farnell Street, asked if Council had already approved or do funds have to be approved for the motorcycle park study. It was explained that Council does have to approve funds, but that this was a grant, and the City would pay the proper percentage. Mr. Ray said at the Monday, Recreation and Park meeting,'Mr. Hybarger had read a letter from an acoustical firm proposing a study at $40.00 per hour. He suggested that this money be saved by recognizing that motorcycles do make noise and if there was any doubt that a group of people visit the area and listen to the noise. Some 200 people feel that the only sensible thing to do is to abandon the whole thing. Councilman McCaron said that objections to the proposed motorcycle park had been voiced for the past couple of months and he more or less agreed. He thought it would be well to request that the Recreation and Park Board not pursue the motor- cycle pa^k any further and to come up with some other type of development in the same park area. Discussion followed wherein all Councitmen agreed that a motorcycle park would not be a good usaqe for the land as the noise and possible pollution would be detrimental to the area, and in addition the Santa Fe Dam Recreational Area may soon be developed to include motorcycle areas and that the Recreation and Park Corrmission be requested to pursue other recreation uses for the Delta Nature Park Area.

Also, he requested that the citizens be allowed to express their views on the matter of fees and charges for various city services. March 5. 1975 Page 5 T. CARPENTER RE AGENDA PACKETS & OATH & REQUESTED CITIZENS BE ALLOWED TO EXPRESS VIEWS ON FEE & CHARGES FOR CITY SERVICES 00- Mrs. Bertha Regus, 5013 Cutler, suggested that car washing is a chore that the high school students can identify with, and feel that they are contributing something to the community. 00- Mr. Ralph Middleton, 13122 Corak Street, asked if it were necessary that a nomination be seconded and the City Attorney said it was not necessary.

City Attorney Flandrick said the Council could act, however this is a police problem. Chief of Police Adams explained that a man had been assigned to investigate this and he now has a seven page report. The people are being contacted and there will be a written report by the next meeting. 00- Actlng City Manager Hate said that in 1970 the City had acquired a tax delinquent parcel of property south of 4844 Cutler Avenue to permit a connection between Stewart and Cutler Avenues.

Wilson, 5021 N. Gayhurst, was advised that he could come into City Hall and speak to Mr. Lathrop, Director of Public Works, to resolve the problem. Mr. Carpenter asked that the cost for the Municipal Code be checked as he felt $50.00 was too much, Municipal Code Section 2507. He had purchased the code publication in the newspaper and the paper cost him t^en cents. At the request of the Mayor and Councilman King, Mrs. Ba1kus explained that sometime back this cost had been established when she and the City Manager had gone over the number of pages and the time involved in typing, printing, assemblying, mailing, etc., and had arrived at the $50.00 cost. A new Addendum cost of $10.00 has been added. It was clarified that the publication cost for the code was $3,750.00 and that the cost of paper, labor, etc., had increased. The cost for the present wilt remain at $50.00 and the Mayor instructed the City Clerk to run a new cost analysis for the complete municipal code. For overnight parking, Mr. Carpenter suggested that streets be posted as to days and times of sweeping. As Chairman of the League to Preserve Constitutional Rights, Mr. Carpenter objected to the $50.00 appeal fee for Public Nuisance cases and thought this was a violation of the constitution. He preferred the previous method where a hearing was held before the City Council. In the new code the decision of the City Manager is final unless an appeal is filed and it now will cost $50.00. Discussion of the Public Nuisance procedure followed and Council agreed that this would be studied and brought back and possibly changed. Mr. Middleton questioned what constitutes a handbill. He considered any throw away junk advertising regardless of size or number of sheets as a handbill and Mayor Hamilton agreed. Mr. Middleton proposed that advertisers outside the City have a business license and that they pay an individual handbill distributors fee. Mr. Flandrick said Council could do this but in his opinion, if it were contested it would be held void. Council discussion followed regarding a fee for outsiders. Mrs. Amos J. Slater, 4814 N. Stancroft, was concerned with overnight parking and better enforcement especially with trucks. She said the City has a right to demand better animal control services. Mr. Hale explained that the City is in the process of meeting with the Animal Control Department to determine what the City can do to assist them. The County has budget constraints in the animal control area. Alt their fees are from licenses and they are not paid by the City. At the present time they have not found a solution as to how to better services but they are working on it. Continued) CC0659o March 5, 1975 Page 7 EDWARD L. MILSON RE TREE IN PARKWAY MR.

Mr. Alfred Wittig, 4707 N. Edra, said that in regard to public nuisances, and the fees, that he agreed with the concept of the point Mr. Carpenter had made, but he disagrees with the fact that an individual whose property is a public nuisance should not have to pay for staff services. It's not the City's or the Communities fault that someone lets their property run down. Mr. Bernard Martin stated he was in agreement on the park fees for the use of the facility and he thought that those using it should help pay for another facility for the youth. Mr. Flandrick recapped the proposed changes and comments as follows: Mrs. Balkus to report on Municipal Code costs and the $50.00 stand as it is at the present time; delete court recorder; delete entertainment items; public nuisances to be handled by the City Manager, the appeal fee will be applicable and a study will be made.

He asked that a letter be sent to Supervisor Schabarum supporting his views on this subject. Discussion followed. The Mayor and Council directed that the Acting City Manager write a letter for the Council to Supervisor Schabarum indicating the Councils support of his views on illegal aliens and that copies be forwarded to Senator Tunney and Senator Cranston.

Councilman King said there could be a conflict in this area as when Mrs. Balkus had served in this capacity she had not received this increased compensation. He asked if Mrs. Balkus had been paid for that position and Mrs. Balkus said she had been partially compensated, but not the City Manager's salary] Mr. Hale said it had been administrative policy that whenever an assistant department head acts in the capacity of an acting department head that the personnel transaction had always been instituted to reflect that persons salary at the other level. Of course, the City Manager is on a different level and a different position than a department head. Councilman Gregory said that the term would be short and that she did not feel that this was necessary as when Mrs. Balkus had served in the rote there was a big disparity between what she was allocated and what was earned as Acting City Manager. There is now a difference of about $500.00 between the City Manager's and the Acting City Manager's salary. Discussion followed that he has the responsibility and the job to do and that he did not have an assistant and that this is temporary.
