La Rica, referred to a March 15, 1975 Tribune Article referring to recall rumors and brought out that there is apparently a City Hall power struggle again. That People for Progress, with Mayors terms concurrent make it appear that recall is an illegal process. It is a constitutional riqht of the people to recall any elected official they feel has ceased to represent them. After study of the law for misconduct and malfeas- ance of office she agreed recall is in order. There are legal and moral commitments to the people; moral misconduct for a Mayor to put down his colleagues and judge their ability to serve, especially when Mrs, Gregory received the highest vote of those on Council and Mr. King the second highest. As the Mayor received the least votes the people are not represented when open attacks are made on Council men trying to represent the people, not business or special interest groups. CRA material should be readily available to everyone. Also she intended to initiate a petition for election of elected officials by district and asked that she be advised when the City Hall Bond Election will be held so this can go on the same ballot and save taxpayers' money. Mr. Andy Nemeth, 1318 Virginia, read in the paper that his property would be included in the CRA district. He had said some time ago at a CRA hearing that it would be lovely to include his area in CRA as they had just built a street for $300,000.00. The Street improved and developed 13 acres for another individual. The benefit to the City amounts to over $1,000,000.00 with Nichols Lumber and the possible amount derived from United Parcel. What disturbed him was the benefit somebody will gain by including in the district Nichols and over $200,000.00 worth of property, Mr. Snider's building and over $300.000.00 from United Parcel property and buildings. The Mayor had said that more Baldwin Park people would be employed, but he had walked the area and found that out of 100 people working in the area 6 or 7 live in Baldwin Park. So that does not cut our unemployment. There are a few people living on Virginia, but those people count and they want to live there. Some of his neiqhbors would be hurt more than he by CRA but he would try to work for everyone and when the question is answered as to who is going to gain then we'll have the answer to CRA. It is not the people who own riant not. Mrs. Amos Slater, 4814 N. Stancroft, stated she had previously requested from Mr. Sexton the minutes of CRA meetings and was informed they were not available. She had asked this morninq and was told the Agency had no policy as yet concerning the minutes. She had referred to the Brown Act and stated that the Agency was governed by the same rules as Council or any Commission and their records are public record and available to anyone. She was again refused and asked Mr. Sexton to call and tell Mr. Hale that she was in the office and would he please come down. After discussion she was allowed to see the minutes. She believed the Brown Act had been broken by refusing her the right to see the minutes or other rel event material. She requested that Council correct this procedure or fire him.

Los Angeles Street, stated she was present because Mrs. Gregory was openly accused In the newspaper of starting a recall and she was present to say she herself had started it. Mrs. Rhodes had called over 700 people Wednesday and about 1400 in the last 4 days. Mr. Waldo had been in her house prior to being on the Council and he gave his oath that he would never go for CRA. Now Council men Waldo, McCaron and Hamilton were for CRA and Council men King and Gregory were being attacked in every way they turn and if anybody is a yes" man it is Councilman Waldo, who she tikes as a person but not as a Councilman. A piece in the paper today says Councilman King is a yes" man and she did not agree as she thought he represented the people as does Councilman Gregory. The people voted for all the Council to work with the people and not for themselves. The people want the CRA on the 19 acres as pledged. Mr. T. E. Carpenter, 4346 Jerry, said he had checked his tapes and he had not been allowed 10 minutes, but usually 5, 6, 7 or 9 minutes, to speak. He said originally there were 19 acres in the project CRA), but the extension would include Nichols Lumber and United Parcel. He would contact United Parcel» as he wants to know why, when they bought their land intending to put in a big organization and 20 acres of building plus 10 or 12 acres, you intend to hand these people a chunk of money, if that is the intent. He had gone through City records and talked to Mr. Weber and found that CRA salaries had been charged off to the City. Also, nothing has been prorated on office expenses, telephone, etc. A gentleman in the department is under a government grant which was not for CRA. Mr. Carpenter objects to these charges to the City. They were loaned $85,000.00 and $62,000.00 wi'11 be for Consultants. When he asked to see records he was told by Mr. Sexton that they were confidential. He again asked to see records and waited 1-1/2 hours and Mr. Sexton said make an appointment with me". He had talked to his superior and that he'd get results tomorrow, but Mr. Sexton violated Government Code Section 6250, Public Records to be Open for Inspection During Office Hours, because immediately after he had talked to Mr. Sexton he went to his office and locked the files. They were locked for 1-1/2 hours so there was no public access to records. He asked that Council consider this as the man should be dismissed. We have a right to know where our tax dollars go. He had requested notice of CRA meetings which he has not received. As there is no public discussion at CRA meetings, how can the public be heard? Wayne Shafstall, 3250 Fithurst, stated the City does not need recall but we do need communication between Council and the people and CRA and the people. He could not understand why we waited until after we had CRA to spend $85,000.00 to see if CRA was for Baldwin Park; nor why we have to take properties that are already developed like Nichols Lumber or United Parcel. They've bought it so we don't have to buy it and se11 it back to them. There's no reason for it or to take them off County tax rolls. This will affect Baldwin Park as the people pay the County taxes. He did not know who would make a profit, but somebody is making money off of it. March 19, 1971) Page 3 MRS. CECIL RHODES RE RECALL AND CRA T.E.

Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council Mr. Jerry Kitchen, 3308 N, Athol, defended those who aligned themselves with something good, community redevelopment, as in his opinion it is the only thing that is going to help the community. The additional study area is proposed to see if perhaps we can bring new dollars into the city. Those in opposition do not represent, in his opinion, progress in the City. We ought to go ahead with CRA, consider all aspects, see how profitable it is and have an open mind and project ourselves into the future. He asked that Council make wise decisions and not be compelled to give into recall threats. As far as he is concerned, perhaps a recall is in order against those who don't get along with the program. Concerning Mr. Carpenter's charges about dismissing some of our administrators, we ought to ignore this and continue work on CRA, continue to develop, and if it means going beyond the 19 acres for the overall betterment of the community, let's do it. March 19, 1975 Page 4 JERRY KITCHELL RE CRA AND RECALL 00- James Dennis Rich, 3103 A Big Dalton, suggested community development and involvement for young people in Baldwin Park, school programs and sports activities; make CETA funds available for them. JAMES DENNIS RICH RE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT & INVOLVEMENT FOR YOUNG PEOPLE 00- Mrs. Slater asked time to rebut statements and she referred to the procedure outline attached to the agenda. It was clarified that the procedure said procedure will be followed for the conduct of public hearings" and did not refer to oral communi- cations. MRS. SLATER RE TIME TO REBUT STATEMENTS 00- Mayor Hamilton, explained he was a Director of Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts 15 and 22, that in 1972 Congress enacted law #92500 which affects funding and requirements for the districts. The Water Pollution Control Act sets forth mandatory requirements to be met for waste water treatment by 1977. Costs will be 75% Federal, State 12-1/2; totaling 87-1/2°^. The remaining 12-1/2 of the capital cost for improvements as well as 100% of the operation and maintenance wilt be borne by the local agency. Estimated district cost is $15,000,000.00 and they are studying means of financing. In 1977 the cost win about double the sanitation district tax. 00- Mr. Hale stated that the Dragon Inn, 15038 Ramona, commenced business in November 1974 and paid half a years business license. They were notified of the 1975 license requirement but through a mis- understanding they thought the 6 months license would serve until March 1975 at which time they were assessed a 50% penalty, $62.50. Investigation showed this was an inadvertency and not intentional on their part. He recommended a refund less 20%. Discussion followed. AUTHORIZE REFUND OF $62.50 TO DRAGON INN. M/S/C: WALDO/KING.

March 19. 1975 Page 5 20% ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE NOT APPLICABLE ON DRAGON INN REFUND 00- Mr. Hale explained that the Chief of Police was requesting that Detective Richard Hoskins be allowed to attend a Bomb Technicians Conference in Phoenix, Arizona, from April 7th to 11th. He requested that the restriction on out of state conferences by other than the City Manager be waived. This item was budgeted and the training would preclude our having to call on the Los Angeles Police Department in the event of a bomb threat.

Mr. Flandrick clarified that this authorization applied to this particular request only and that Council policy remains that there will be no out of state conferences without specific Council approval. 00- Councilman McCaron explained that CRA had been enacted to develop a primary parcel by the freeway. Experts were hired to study the proposed area in order to advise Council and the bond buyers as to the feasibility of developing with two businesses. They are requesting that additional area be included in the study. He objected to the fact that opinions are being expressed before the facts are out. Until there is something concrete to decide on, he felt effort is being waged to defeat CRA and not allow a chance to see what can be done. If the other area is available Council should allow the study to find out what the experts have in mind and what is proposed. Then Council will have something to act on. It would be well to wait and see the final report and see whether anyone wants to develop and if anybody wants to buy bonds and whether we have anything for a foundation for CRA in the first place. Mr. Sexton described the South Baldwin Park Blvd. Area the consultants are recommending for study purposes only: south of Freeway 10. From the railroad track on the east, south of the freeway down to the wash, over to Baldwin Park Blvd. and Bess Avenue to where it intersects with Dalewood to Freeway 10. He also described the present 19 acre area. At the request of Councilman Waldo, Mr. Sexton explained what the study around the project area would mean to the citizens who live there.

But, $20,000,000.00 spent on a 19-20 acre site will have an impact on the surrounding area and the study is recommended to deter- mine that impact. Councilman King asked what additional expense would be incurred in this study. Mr. Sexton said the study of the additional area would require additional expense as the study would involve more consultant services, particularly in planning. There wi11 be twice as much work and added cost, however, they were not asking for a budgetary increase at this time. If Council authorizes the study, the intent is to see if it is feasible to develop both sites and maximize the benefits that can accrue to the City by doing so. Without the study we are going to lose development because we do not have the land to accomodate development. Councilman King stated it had been said that a recall is in order for those who do not go along with the program". He said from the schedule and statements made to him prior to the enactment of CRA he was a full believer in the Puente-Merced Area and he hoped the area stilt has some potential, but it gives him grave concern. We have a beautiful schedule on the Puente- Merced Area from November 27th to March 5th. At the March 13th meeting the offers of land purchase in project area" disturbed him as we cannot keep in tine with a schedule of what we're going to do next. First it was explained that this thing is here, if we act now we won't lose it, hurry, rush it through, don't send it to a vote of the people, let's vote on it. He agreed as he felt it was good and stilt does, but now there is another area for study. In a sense he said, he lied to the people, but he agreed because he believed some of his colleagues who said this is the only area we are going to look at. It was stated that he was not for the progress of Baldwin Park, wett he was for progress, but the news item says the argument of expediency also has been used for CRA in various valley cities", which holds true here. The item also said, but the big objection many people have to CRA is that it permits a Government Agency to bypass the wilt of the electorate and to obligate potential future public funds without any determination by voters". He said this was true. We keep getting progressively worse. You say it's good, but if we hold to the area specified is it being dormant? If Mr. Sexton claims K-Mart will go in the area, then that's the area the agency should deaf with, do it now, and don't expand. We're going belter skelter and in some areas we need a change. You can't run an organization haphazardly and also with respect to denying information, this is no way to run a government. Government is of the people. You've got to be open and above board and follow a schedule. Out of 8 meetings, we've had 4 on November 27th, December 3rd, March 5th and March 13th. Now on March 19th, we have no offers, at least to his knowledge. He hoped the Mayor would adhere to the project area and get that project going. If it's K-Mart or Motet 6, get them in here and get them going and deal with that now. Regarding selling bonds, he said Mr. Sexton said this would be difficult as these are difficult times and that Baldwin Park had Continued) BIB] 37658-U01 1975-U02 03-U02 19-U02 CC-U02 MIN-U02 LI1-U03 FO9591-U03 FO9726-U03 DO9859-U03 C4-U03 MINUTES1-U03 2/5/2003-U04 ROBIN-U04 REGULAR-U05 SESSION-U05 CITY-U06 COUNCIL-U06 1975 03 19 CC MIN(ÌìÑW pe00660G Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council March 19. 1975 Page 7 a bad image with respect to loans and that we needed other areas to sell bonds. He asked, why did we start the project in the first place if it was so important to sell the people on project one, when all along there was doubt on selling the bonds. Councilman Waldo said he would like to say something in regard to Councilman King's statement, that he couldn't see why, he thought, that once it was initiated we could start immediately. Councilman Waldo questioned whether Councilman King was listening at the election seminars and he wondered what he had voted $85,000.00 for; because it was explained we would have a study to see if it was economically feasible. We have had the study and a preliminary report that says it has to be changed. That's what the $85,000.00 was for and he wondered why Councilman King voted for it if he did not feel it was necessary. He wondered if Qouncitman King planned to listen to the experts who said last week that one project K-Mart or the Hotel) wouldn't go by itself and they do not recomnend putting them together and they do not want to be together. Councilman King said at a meeting he had stated to the City Attorney, now this is the designated area", and it is, and the other would only be a study area and he could see the possibility of expanding the area. It was stated we would develop the Puente-Merced area and he recalled Mr. Sexton had stated that if 50% of the people wanted the project out that the project would be voted out, which is untrue. There's minunder- standing on both sides, but he clearly understood that the other area is needed so you can put something else there that is incompatible with the Puente-Merced area, and at the same time help sell bonds. Councilman Waldo said the Consultants had said it would be better to have K-Mart on one side and the Hotel on the other as they are not compatible and by separation they could be surrounded with compatible businesses and therefore recommended the study. Councilman King said he had voted $85,000.00 for the designated area and agreed that the proposed idea was to shift one or the other, but the area is being expanded and that's the point and he disagreed with the expansion. Councilman Gregory asked what assurance do we have in expending extra money that this is the correct area and that we will need to expand the feasibility study further. This could go on indefinitely as it has in other cities. Council should reflect on what preceded the CRA Ordinance. Approximately 3,000 people voted on the promise of this Council in a letter that went out. All arguments said the Puente- Merced area would be the area and people voted for the 19 acres in good faith because they believed Council. She believed in keeping the faith. If we can not produce on the 19 acres, we will never be believed again. If the agency can bring revenue producing business let it be K-Mart or there will never be a sound area in the City as people live everywhere and their lives will be touched. We have to prove our- selves first.

Where does it a11 end? He proposed holding to the original area and if we cannot develop and sell bonds, then stop right there. Legislation should be passed that would curtail any further expansion of CRA activities without the people's consent. This is only a study, but this takes dollars off the tax rolls. Properties in the proposed area are developed and revenue producing, why study them. This is the reason that local governments are being pre-empted in all areas. Let K-Mart and compatible uses go in but let's not expand and if the study shows this is not feasible then drop it. Councilman Waldo questioned why everyone worked so hard on the election. If this is dropped we'll be right back where we were. Mayor Hamilton said that this started with 19 acres and not beinq experts we thought the area was adequate for K-Mart, the Sheraton Hotel and Motel 6. He had stated that if we develop the 19 acres, this wi11 be the beginning of development on the freeway. He has mixed feelings on expanding the area as he did not wish to lose what had been done. The expert, study consultants report that the 2 developers cannot be accomodated on the 19 acres and this sounds reasonable. He would be witling to go with the undeveloped area but does not agree with the whole area. Three people have petitioned to be included in the study. The developers say it is a good location and we think with 2 locations we can get the K-Mart and the Sheraton Hotel. This sounds tike good business. We've been threatened with recall, however, he did not go for threats and would vote for what is best for Baldwin Park. This is only a study area. He went along with CRA as it seemed we could not get development without it. There have been abuses, which should stop even if it takes legislation to do so. He was in a quandry for if we stop CRA, where are we; lose the money invested or go on and try to expand and get the 2 developments. That's the $64.00 question. There is enough money out of the $85,000.00 so he would favor the study and upon finalization he thought the area could be corrected. City Attorney Flandrick read by title: RESOLUTION NO. 75-23, ESTABLISHING A SURVEY AREA BY AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 74-109 ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 75-23 AND WAIVE FURTHER READING. M/S: WALDO/MC CARON. Councilman McCaron said everyone is presuming the area before we know what we are saying no" to. He would not include developed property in the area. We are talking of property to be developed under CRA, and if it cannot pay for itself within 10 years it was not a good business proposition. Buildings deteriorate, so you might get 25 years out of them. If you get a 50% benefit then it is not a bad move. Nothing has been proven here yet. He said 1 CRA in West Covina is going big. He did not know the time they planned to use it, but it has to repay itself. If this does not prove to be a good business proposition to start with we do not have any business trying to implement it.

If we quit now a good deal of the $85,000.00 will be lost and without any more Information than we had to start with. Two developers made overtures and they knew and everyone would know the 2 were not compatible on the same property. One does not draw trade from the other or enhance the other. A business store could possibly enhance the Hotel. We're being told the proposed businesses should be separated, but if the demand for the area is greater than the acreage then we need assurance that development will carry themselves. If not, bonds won't sell. We are right in the middle of the stream and a study will te11 us what we are dealing with. Mayor Hamilton said the study will show the impact on surrounding areas but we will not go into residential areas and he would stick to that. The drive-in, the tractor company and another had asked to be included and this is the reason for going on. We do not want to quit until we know the facts, if it's feasible and will carry itself. CRA has been abused in other areas but we do not intend to do that in Baldwin Park, but we do want development of undeveloped land and he did not know of any other way to get it. Councilman Gregory asked if she was being told that this was beinq expanded on the premise that there would be no additional expenditure for this study. Councilman McCaron said that there would be additional expenditures if we go through with the entire project but we're not expending more for the study than the $85,000.00 which we are trying to save. The cost would depend upon how much further we go with the study. Discussion followed regarding costs and staying within the $85,000.00 budgeted. Mr. Sexton said there wilt be additional costs. Plan- ning will average about $10,000.00. The charge for the Puente site is $17,000.00. The question is when the costs will be incurred. At this time there is no increase in the budget until we get the facts on which to intelligently decide whether or not to incurr extra costs as part of the total project effort. The cost will be more. The whole study, area wise, 1s probably about half the cost will be about half again if the whole thing is accomplished. The intent is to incur the additional study with funds now budgeted. If it becomes necessary, based on facts, that more money win be needed, then the agency will want to request a loan. After that, if the bond package looks feasible and buyable, then all City costs incurred as an investment to this agency for the project will be paid back with interest. The study cost is a loan to be paid back out of bonds to be paid out of the increased revenue on the property. In answer to Councilman King, Mr. Sexton said these were tax allocation bonds. Mayor Hamilton asked that everyone keep an open mind and that everyone work together. He referred to Assemblyman Montoya's comments on the day of the CRA hearing.
