There were no objections. 00- Mrs. Beatrice Jackson, 3390 Paddy Lane, was disturbed by the tetter received from the City Manager regarding overnight parking, as it appeared the permit fee would increase and she did not see sufficient reason for the no parking" hours. Her permit expires December 31, 1975. She felt it should be for a year; also there is no refund if the permit is not approved. People with a legitimate reason should have a permit. City Manager Mitchell said the report was comprehensive and presented alternatives for Council, and even a $20.00 fee, which was proposed some years ago, would not recoup city costs. The following people spoke in opposition to the no parking" from 2:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. Ordinance: Mrs. Gloria Tapia, 3406 Paddy Lane Mrs. Julia Morales. 3361 Paddy Lane Mrs. Haltie Slater, 4814 Stancroft T. E. Carpenter said parking permits should be issued for one year from the date of issue, with no fee charged. The permit gives people protection and permits them to park. He was not in accord with the report.

Langtey, 4860 Benham Avenue, spoke regarding the Petition to reopen the walkway in the 4800 block between Benham and La Rica. He lives along the walk- way and those who do not live near, do not realize the problems such as vandalism and fires. He preferred to have his five-year old walk the additional distance, and remove the walkway. Fifteen people were present asking that the walkway remain closed. Mrs. Carmen Minjares, 14003 Anada Street, Joe Naranjo, 4855 North Stewart, and Mrs. Rodriguez, 4911 North Stewart, were present to ask that it be reopened. Mrs. Minjares asked that police and fire records be verified, and if warranted, then they would help to close the walkway. Mr. Barnes, 4901 Benham, has three children and asked that the walkway be closed. His property has been vandalized and he has observed fires in the walkway. Joseph Naranjo, 4855 North Stewart, suggested opening the walkway during school days. Small children are not doing the damage. There is vandalism all over the City. November 5, 1975 Page 3 JAMES M.

Frank Zarate, 14855 Pacific Avenue, had previously suggested a meeting of parents and youth with Council and the School Board, to help solve vandalism and graffiti problems. Roy Test, 14420 C1overside, would tike to have privilege to park on the street overnight. Vance Champion, 14013 Anada Street closed. Keep walkway NANCY LOWRY RE WALKWAY CLOSE IT HALLIE SLATER RE LOOSE DOGS FRANK ZARATE RE YOUTH PROBLEMS ROY TEST RE OVER- NIGHT PARKING VANCE CHAMPION RE WALKWAY CLOSE IT Council concurred that the overnight parking ordinance be retained at the same fee. Discussion followed that this is a safety factor and crime rate has dropped. Parking overnight on all streets could increase police costs. Too many people have dosed garages for other uses. Permits can be obtained. Signs could be placed throughout the City over 2-3 years. Study apartment areas and meet with people and management and charge for their own protection security guards). Consider two special enforcement officers in next budget for continued surveillance. Check inconsistencies. A telephone call could be sufficient for out-of-town visitors or car on street with motor trouble. Street sweeping regulations and hours could be posted and streets cleared at that time. Council discussion followed regarding the walkway and Council directed the City Manager to take the necessary steps to get a Planning Commission report to agree or disagree and set the matter for Public Hearing to vacate that portion used for pedestrian access and recomnend a method of disposing of the fee interest and that the walkway remain closed. 00- CITY MANAGER TO TAKE STEPS TO GET PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT & SET HEARING TO VACATE PEDESTRIAN ACCESS & RECOMMEND METHOD OF DISPOSING OF FEE INTEREST BIB] 37658-U01 1975-U02 11-U02 05-U02 CC-U02 MIN-U02 LI1-U03 FO9591-U03 FO9726-U03 DO9823-U03 C4-U03 MINUTES1-U03 2/5/2003-U04 ROBIN-U04 REGULAR-U05 SESSION-U05 CITY-U06 COUNCIL-U06 1975 11 05 CC MIN(ÌìÐÁpe0006753 Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council City Clerk Balkus read in full a letter from Congress- man John Rousselot regarding the City's opposition to the Department of Transportation's regulations im- plementing certain provisions of the Urban Mass Transportation Act of 1964, which infringe upon rights of local government.
