Planning Director Kilgour gave a brief resume of the case and referred to the General Plan, Existing Zoning and Land Use and the proposed General Plan shown on the exhibits in the packet.

Initiated by the Baldwin Park Planning Commission. Proper publications, postings and mailings had been accomplished. There were no written protests. Planning Director Kitgour gave a brief resume of the case, stating that the need for extension of Paddy Lane is no longer necessary. There are no land locked parcels in that area and the Adventist School would like to enlarge and is in favor of the deletion. Carol Hiatt, property owner at 14135 E. Merced, spoke in favor of deletion, as the street would require 5 feet of her property and part of her garage. Ronnie Abernathy of 14128 Merced spoke representing his father, who is disabled, saying the street would be a hardship and he would have to find another home to buy. Mrs. Margaret Sanchez, 11923 Bayse, E1 Monte, spoke in favor of deletion. As there was no further testimony in favor of or in opposition to AGP-33, Mayor Hamilton declared the public hearing dosed.

AGP-33) Director of Planning Kilgour and Mayor Pro Tern Me Caron discussed the effect of the street deletion on the Adventist School and surrounding properties and concluded that there was nothing hurt by deleting it at the present time.

NO. 75-89 ADOPTED Roy Boggess, American Legion Post 241, appearing with fellow members, spoke against proposed legislation restricting firearms and asked for a resolution opposing gun control. Councilman King and Councilman Waldo concurred with the speaker. Mayor Hamilton said the subject would be discussed after the oral communications was finished. Mr. E. R. Tanner, 4917 Marion Street, obtained a building permit and installed a gas heater in his bedroom. He was told by Building Inspector Morrow that it was in violation of the Uniform Mechanical Code in that it was dangerous. Mr. Tanner explained expenses incurred of $9 and requested that his installation be approved or that his $9 be refunded; otherwise he will take the matter before the court. Mayor Hamilton said the matter would be discussed following oral communications. Mr. James Welday, 12813 Farnell Street, said that he had not received his agenda until the exact date of the Council Meeting, but was concerned that the 78 people who have been receiving agendas and minutes would no longer be receiving them, due to the cost. He considers them to be the News Letter of Baldwin Park." Mrs. Hallie Slater, 4814 N. Stancroft, suggests that those businesses who do not own property in Baldwin Park who wish to receive agendas and minutes might be witling to pay for them. The list should be updated every six months or once a year. Continue providing this information for citizens. Mr. Cart Sharpe, 5018 Wimmer, requested costs on the CRA law suit so they could be published. He questioned what is happening with CRA. Tony Baca, 14740 E. Clark Street, member Parent and Youth Council, asked for help to secure paint and supplies to erase graffiti and when a meeting with city and school representatives would be held. Mayor Hamilton said the matter would be discussed later in the evening. Mrs. Helen Gibson, 13268 East Francisquito, resents suggestion of deleting agendas and minutes to cut cost. She feels that if expenses are going to be cut, they should be cut elsewhere. Continued) ROY BOGGESS RE GUN CONTROL COUNCIL DISCUSSION E. R.

Mr. Carpenter feels the agendas and minutes are materials to help keep people involved and that if they are deleted people will not be getting information. He compared the cost for mailing to 78 people to the cost of traveling and meals for Council and staff and quoted Councilman Waldo's statement regarding the elderly made at the Senate committee hearing. Mr. Carpenter objected to members of the Council publishing information in the Treasure Chest and referred to the paper as a house organ." November 19, 1975 Page 5 TOM CARPENTER RE GUN CONTROL, AGENDAS & MINUTES, TREASURE CHEST There were no further Oral Communications and Mayor Hamilton proposed Town Hall meetings so that the people will have a chance to talk. 00- City Attorney Flandrick read in full: RESOLUTION NO. 75-90, OPPOSING STATE OR FEDERAL LEGISLATION RELATING TO GUN CONTROL RESOLUTION NO. 75-90 ADOPTED. M/S/C: KING/GREGORY. There were no objections. Councilman Waldo said that he understood that Mr. Boggess and the American Legion wanted the Council to send letters to state and federal officials denouncing the type of legislature as discussed, as well as sending them our resolution. Councilman Gregory suggested that City Manager Mitchelt prepare such a tetter and that members of the Council review before signing. 00- Discussion followed regarding the wall heater that had been installed by Mr. Tanner. Director of Public Works Lathrop explained his understanding of the violation of the City's mechanical and building codes. Councilman King asked about the danger with regard to the venting. Mayor Hamilton asked Director of Public Works Lathrop to explain the code and why it was not finalized in the inspection. He did so, explaining that with this particular type of heater, the extraction of oxygen from the air with the door closed can cause asphyxiation. There are certain types of wall heaters that can be allowed in bedrooms, which he cited, but Mr. Tanner's does not fall in this category. Mayor Hamilton asked Director of Public Works Lathrop if our city code varied from other city codes, and Director Lathrop responded that this code is used state wide and cited the case of a young infant who was asphyxiated in Baldwin Park and stated that the cause was in all probability from the extraction of oxygen from the room where a forced air heater had been illegally installed. continued) RES.

Sources have been used up. Councilman Waldo asked if it is a legal expenditure for the city to furnish paint. City Attorney Flandrick said that it was, but that the concern was anyone painting on property without the owner's consent. Councilman Waldo felt that it was of such importance that he would be willing to give half of his salary for a month and wanted to know what the cost would be. Councilman Gregory would like to know what the cost factor would be and where the funding would be coming from. Mayor Hamilton recommended that City Manager prepare a report regarding cost and quantity of paint necessary to erase graffiti for the next meeting. CITY MANAGER TO REPORT COST OF PAINT TO ERASE GRAFFITI 00" Discussion followed regarding Carl Sharpe's request for CRA costs. City Manager Mitchetl did not have report with him but will present it at next Council Meeting. CITY MANAGER WILL REPORT CRA COSTS NEXT COUNCIL MEETING 00- Discussion followed by Councilman McCaron on the written communication from the Upper San Gabriel Valley Water Association in regard to the study on the water plan that is to be made by SKAG and the Association is opposing SKAG committee doing the study on it. He believes inform- ation from SKAG is necessary and on how the Upper San Gabriel Valley Water Association wants to appoint a committee to do the studying. It was decided that the City Manager would check with both areas and hold the decision over to the next Council Meeting. 00- City Clerk Balkus presented a claim from Art Vasquez, 14136 E. Dunia.

City Clerk Balkus said that the present procedure for revision of the list is by personal or telephone contact and that periodically mailing list names are added or deleted. j\ AGENDA & MINUTES MAILING BIB] 37658-U01 1975-U02 11-U02 19-U02 CC-U02 MIN-U02 LI1-U03 FO9591-U03 FO9726-U03 DO9825-U03 C4-U03 MINUTES1-U03 2/5/2003-U04 ROBIN-U04 REGULAR-U05 SESSION-U05 CITY-U06 COUNCIL-U06 1975 11 19 CC MIN(ÌìÐÌpeCQ6763 Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council Council directed that the City Manager make a further report at the next meeting, with a revised list and a design for return mail card requesting continuance of mailings.

Two property owners have not cooperated with the city and have refused to grant easements. He recommended that the City Council authorize City Attorney Ftandrick to initiate condemnation action for the acquisition of these easements. AUTHORIZE CITY ATTORNEY TO INITIATE CONDEMNATION ACTION TO ACQUIRE TWO UNDERGROUND UTILITY EASEMENTS AND THAT $2,000 FROM THE UNAPPROPRIATED GENERAL FUND BE ALLOCATED FOR THIS PURPOSE. M/S KING/WALDO. Councilman McCaron protested that he would rather go to an improvement assessment district where the hearing would be held and the easement is ordered to be acquired and assessed to the property itself. He felt there should be some way that the uncooperative property owner not be served with utilities rather than undergo the expense of condemnation. City Attorney Flandrick said this had been explored, but this is not an assessment district. Numerous efforts have been made and there seems to be no other way to realize undergrounding in this area.

That information had been received and the plan does comply with Internal Revenue Service rulings. This office has been in touch with the attorney for IRS and others as to what steps were taken to insure that there was no loss'of funds by criminal action. The fees collected from employees who engage in the plan are trust funds held by a trust organization in Washington, D.C. The corporation itself and the employees are bonded. There are periodic audits. Councilman Gregory confirmed that the plan was not mandatory Councilman McCaron was concerned with the City's obligation to repay any employee funds lost if the investment doesn't prove profitable. City Attorney Flandrick said it was his understanding that the risk is that of the employee and that the City has no liability if the fund does drop in value. Councilman McCaron inquired as to whether there was some way the employee could invest directly so that the City would not be involved. City Attorney Flandrick said that organ- ization deals only with public agencies. Councilman King felt that the matter had been thoroughly investigated and that there would be no further reassurance on the safety of the investment. Employees will be notified by letter of their financial responsibility.

There were no objections. 00- Lighting for offices of Finance and City Clerk had been continued from last meeting for a report from the City Manager regarding lighting installation being done in-house. Discussion followed concerning Alternatives No. 1 and No. 2. Councilman Gregory was concerned with the expenditure of fuel due to the high ceilings and the toss of energy involved in new lighting fixtures. Mayor Hamilton would like to get by as cheaply as possible, as within possibly a two-year period we may be in the new Civic Center. jCouncilman McCaron suggested adding four fixtures to each room without removing any old ones. Councilman Waldo was against spending any money at this time. Director of Public Works Lathrop answered Councilman McCaron's question regarding adding four new fixtures in each office by saying that the new lights in no way look tike the old fixtures and having a mixture would detract from the appearance of the two offices. New lights hav^ better illumination.
