FOR RESEARCH & REPORT TO BE GIVEN AT NEXT MEETING 00- Frank Zarate, 1748 Halt nor, member of Baldwin Park Parents & Youth Communication Committee, read a letter he had addressed to the City Council regarding the fact that he had not been selected for the Housing and Community Development Committee because someone believed he lives in La Puente. The letter asked what the requirements were for selection of the committee other than being a resident of Baldwin Park; if the comnittee appointed by the City Council was equally represented by Mexican-American citizens of this community; if senior citizens and youth were asked or invited, and if there was any reason for not having one member from Baldwin Park Parents & Youth Communication Committee. He said he would like a better excuse than that stated in the Tribune in People in News,"-Tuesday, January 27, 1976. City Manager Mitchelt explained that two advertised public hearings had been held at Morgan Park and interested citizens had been asked to sign their names, addresses and telephone numbers if they wished to be on the Committee. Mr. Zarate had not included his address, and when the secretary searched for his name in the telephone directory she found a Zarate in La Puente but none listed in Baldwin Park. Mr. Zarate said he would tike to see one parent from the Parents & Youth Communications Committee selected. Councilman Gregory thought Mr. Zarate could be included on the list, as she said there is always the absenteeism factor. Councilman Waldo said it would be necessary to add two to the Committee. Discussion followed. TWO'MORE APPOINTMENTS TO HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOP- MENT COMMITTEE TO BE MADE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING, FEBRUARY 18, 1976. 00- Michael Dargus, 1360 E.

Councilman McCaron explained that no councilmen nor candidates were on the Committee and the Council felt that if any of the candidates were elected it would be a conflict of Interest. Mr. Carpenter referred to a newspaper article regarding possible termination of city and school CETA funded positions and said that he didn't think the City should depend on $300,000 a year in CETA funds and that the City does not need all these employees. He asked the number of employees. City Manager Mitchell answered about 140 people. Mr. Carpenter said the $100,000 Data Processing machine was not necessary to run the payroll and that the City Is building an empire with CETA and General Revenue Sharing funds and should not bemoan losing CETA but just trim the budget and run it like a man with a conservative business. Councilman Waldo said that for years the City had gotten along without CETA but had been unable to provide the services and jobs to the unemployed without this program. He said that if Baldwin Park does not get their share of allotted funds that other cities wilt get the funds Instead. City Manager Mitchell explained that this is a national program established by Congress with a certain number of dollars earmarked for Baldwin Park. If this money is not taken and utilized for the benefit of the citizens and unemployed of this City, it will be reallocated and spent elsewhere and if the program Is ended there will be a cutback. 00- Gloria Zook, 4817 North La Rica, said she was concerned after reading the article in the newspaper regarding CETA. She asked if anything could be done that wasn't being done to save the program. Her concern was for the teenagers. Mr. Mitchell said the City is going after it in every way they can, and there would only be something wrong if the CETA Program is rejected. Mayor Hamilton said jobs under this program are Important to youth and this is money well spent. 00" Written Communications: TOM CARPENTER RE POSSIBLE TERMINATION OF CETA PROGRAM GLORIA ZOOK RE CETA City Clerk Balkus read a letter from Bullock's, West Covina, requesting Baldwin Park's City plaque for display in their general office, Discussion followed with the feeling expressed that the Chamber of Commerce is the promotional agency for the City and that It should be their action.

The hours are 6 p.m. to midnight. The Center is manned by their appointees.

There were no objections. 00- f City Manager Mitchell said the purpose of the sales tax report was to formally advise Council of the status of their investigation. He said the City Manager's office had been in contact with legal counsel, Rut&h & Tucker, who have assured them they will provide a current status report in the near future. It will be brought to the attention of the Council when it is received. Mayor Hamilton suggested to Michael Dargus that he come in to see the City Manager about the report. USE OF CITY YARD JUNE 8, 1976 FOR PRIMARY ELECTION REQUEST APPROVED STATUS REPORT RE SALES TAX MICHAEL DARGUS TO SEE C.M. RE SALES TAX 00- City Manager Mitchell spoke regarding the Group Health and Major Medical Insurance Program. He explained that the rates per family on the present coverage. Blue Cross and Phoenix Mutual, will increase March 1, 1976 from $81.67 to $138.67 per month. Cost of $26.51 for a single individual will be $43.66. He stated this is a sizeable increase that employees can not afford. Under the state plan being considered through Public Employee Retirement P.-E.R.S.), the cost would be about the same as present rates. The plan requires a certain number of hours to be worked each month and arbitrarily they wilt not accept Planning Commission members. Drastic increases can be avoided, as the increases are not of the same magnitude when spread out over many people as the State does. There are some disadvantages and loss of benefits and some additional benefits, but there is no time to shop for other plans, as the City Council must pass a resolution of acceptance before the 10th of the month. Councilman King asked what the feelings of the employees were on the changes. Director of Finance Halloway said that close contact had been kept with both employee groups, the Police Association and the Miscellaneous Employees Association, and both groups were almost unanimous that the change be made to the State system. He said since his report to the City Manager had been written there has been a meeting with the Health & Benefits Division continued) GROUP HEALTH & MAJOR MEDICAL INS.

The savings is incurred in the two-party and family rate. Mayor Hamilton expressed concern that P.E.R.S. will not cover the Planning Commission and asked if Blue Cross and Phoenix Mutual will continue to cover them. Finance Director Ha Noway doubted that these companies would continue to carry a small group of 7 people, and said the only alternative he could suggest is that some other type of plan might be purchased to cover them. P.E.R.S. requires employees be a contracting member of P.E.R.S. to avail themselves of health care benefits and work at least half time. Planning Commissioners are granted 4 hours per month for their service and therefore do not qualify. This is part of the Meyers" Geddes Act which the legislature passed some years ago. Councilman Waldo asked if the present plan is discontinued whether Planning Commissioners or anyone else interested can have the option of purchasing into the plan on their own, without having to take a physical. Mr. Halloway believes the option will be offered, although at a much increased rate since it is not a group situation, but he would have to check into whether it is possible without a physical. Mr. Mitchell said the other alternative would be to stay with the present plan for one more month, thus creating a hardship on the employees, or perhaps the City could pick up the difference for them for one month. Councilman King asked how many of the Planning Commission- ers were covered. Mr. Halloway said he would have to check it out, but he thought that all of them were covered. Councilman McCaron asked what the difference was in coverage between the two plans, as the rates are different. Mr. Halloway said the State can offer a lesser rate because they have 400,000 people while the City has less than 200. The Blue Cross/Blue Shield coverage with P.E.R.S is similar to the present Blue Cross/Phoenix Mutual, but does lack the dental and life insurance coverage. The State plans cover a few additional benefits such as alchoholism and mental health treatment that are not covered in our present plan. He explained that presently Blue Cross covers hospitalization and Phoenix Mutual covers the major medical portion of the health insurance and $3000 life insurance. Councilman Waldo said he hated to see the dental plan go. Mayor Hamilton asked if the employee would be allowed to go to their own hospital and their own doctor, as they do now on the Blue Cross Plan. Mr. Halloway said that persons covered by Ross-Loos can not, but the Blue Cross/Blue Shield Plan under P.E.R.S. is basically the same as our present Blue Cross. continued) BIB] 37658-U01 1976-U02 02-U02 04-U02 CC-U02 MIN-U02 LI1-U03 FO9591-U03 FO9725-U03 DO9832-U03 C4-U03 MINUTES1-U03 2/5/2003-U04 ROBIN-U04 REGULAR-U05 SESSION-U05 CITY-U06 COUNCIL-U06 1976 02 04 CC MIN(ÌìÏÚ pe0006833 * V.I V Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council February 4» 1976 Page 6 Discussion followed about whether to adjourn the meeting and go out on the open market to try to obtain a better plan. This would entail giving the complete history of all the employees and their dependent's age and salary to help decide what the rate would be. It was decided that bacause of being pressured by the fact that the present policy increased rates will go into effect March 1, there would not be sufficient time to have the studies made. Councilman Waldo's understanding is that two people can form a group to obtain group insurance. He suggested that the City Manager and Finance Director check into the possibilities of trying to keep the present group insurance for the Commissioners, if it is transferable. If all else fails, they may want to pay for the plan themselves as some of them are not insurable with another cbmpany. Bob Rugroden, President of the Baldwin Park City Employee's Association, said that last year the Association had run a study with insurance companies and none of them have any bargains for the employees. Two of the agencies would not even give a figure, as they could not compete with P.E.R.S. He said the employees are willing to sacrifice the dental plan and life insurance in order to get into P.E.R.S. as some employees who are only making $500 a month can not afford $100 a month coming out of their paychecks. Councilman Waldo would like to see the City Manager's office make every effort to contact the employees and see if they would like to at least use their option to continue their $3000 life insurance policy, as some of them may be uninsurable elsewhere. City Clerk Balkus read by title: RESOLUTION NO. 76-7, ELECTING TO BE SUBJECT TO MEYERS-GEDDES STATE EMPLOYEES' MEDICAL AND HOSPITAL CARE ACT AND FIXING THE EMPLOYER'S CONTRIBUTION AT AN AMOUNT GREATER THAN THAT PRESCRIBED BY SECTION 22825 OF THE GOVERNMENT CODE RESOLUTION NO. 76-7 ADOPTED AND FURTHER READING WAIVED.

Councilman Gregory asked if it would be possible to come up with something better if they went out to bid again and if there is a time problem. Police Chief Adams said the present cars are 18 months old and are in bad shape. One morning only 4 cars were running out of 10. It is the end of the model year and the cars built as a police package are built on what they call a specialty line. By the time the bid specifications were sent out and received again if any prices were received at all and then award the bid, the specialty lines would be closed and agencies will be tooling up to build next year's models. He listed other agencies contacted which were considered unacceptable as the cars do not have good service records, and related the problems connected with the present police cars and the ones the Highway Patrol bought this year. Two leasing agents would not even give a price. It will be at least 60 to 90 days before the new cars will be delivered and they are needed badly. Councilman Gregory finds it hard to explain that agencies would not be interested in a $50,000 packet. Chief Adams replied that it is now a seller's market. City Manager Mitchetl added that several years ago American Motors tried to get into the police car business. Their factory representative was contacted and they said they would not build a police car. All small units of government are encountering this same problem. Councilman Gregory asked if the package from Coyle Chevrolet qualifies with what the Police Department is looking for. Chief Adams said that Chevy this year seems to be the only one trying to put together a police package for the small groups. Mayor Hamilton asked if this would be within the budget and Chief Adams said that it would. Councilman Waldo suggested that an effort be put forth to join with the cities of San Gabriel Valley and Pomona Valley to form a co-op to purchase police vehicles, thus gaining more buying power. Police Chief Adams said it was too late for this year, but he has talked to other Chiefs that do stilt purchase cars, and by next year possibly joint purchasing can be worked out.

DENYING MINOR VARIANCE APPLIC. LOC. 4222 & 4228 BOGART AVE., APPLICANT; L. KOOPMANS: CASE NO. MV-40-B City Attorney Flandrick referred to the Public Hearing last Council Meeting concerning the appeal to the Planning Director's decision on the Minor Variance. He said that the Council's action at that time was to deny the variance and to direct the preparation of the Resolution which has the effect of denying it. The facts required for the granting of the variance were not shown to be present in the evidence presented to the Council. Councilman King said he had given much consideration to this particular development and felt that his judgement was in error. He felt that it isn't truly a common driveway until one or the other individuals involved wished to build a fence, which is their prerogative. If later there is discontentment in the area, the common drive will no longer exist between the two separate property owners. He felt that 6 inches on either side was such a negligible variance that it didn't warrant that much consideration. Councilman Waldo said that he was not present at the Council Meeting when the variance was discussed. Councilman McCaron said that he was objecting to combining the usage on two parcels and still trying to separate the ownership, not the setback itself. He said if the owner would say tha^ he was going n set the dwellings back to back on the same property he would be willing to give him a 3 ft. setback. He would then have enough room to accomplish what he wants without having them as separate parcels. Discussion followed. continued) BIB] 37658-U01 1976-U02 02-U02 04-U02 CC-U02 MIN-U02 LI1-U03 FO9591-U03 FO9725-U03 DO9832-U03 C4-U03 MINUTES1-U03 2/5/2003-U04 ROBIN-U04 REGULAR-U05 SESSION-U05 CITY-U06 COUNCIL-U06 1976 02 04 CC MIN(ÌìÏÚ peRegular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council OOOC336 February 4, 1976 Page 9 City Attorney Ftandrick advised that a Public Hearing had been held on the minor variance; that another hearing could be held, but could not take place at this time.

He requested a Public Hearing to appeal the decision of the Planning Commission on the Conditional Use Permit. Discussion followed. It was established that the area was industrial property and is within the proper zoning. A Conditional Use Permit is required for truck storage, but this use must be only in an M-1 zone.

CounciIman McCaron abstained. 00- Mayor Hamilton said he had been checking with a firm regarding the zoning on railroad track areas. He sa,id he had been told they were zoned R-3. Director of Planning Kilgour said that the Depot Street area was zoned M-1; otherwise the Code designates railroads are zoned R-1 unless there is a specific zone change. The intent of it is that you wouldn't want manufacturing on the land within a residential area. i Councilman Gregory asked if the Council could change the designation of the railroad right of way as she said she would hate to see the use of the property behind City Halt once more taken over by M-1 and have storage such as has been there before. She would like the Planning Commission to take it under consideration to make a change if possible. Mayor Hamilton said there is a business that wants to build adjacent to the railroad track on R-1 property and is required to set.back and to build a block wall fence. He said the businessman feels if he goes through the Conditional Use Permit he is still going to have to build a fence, and Mayor Hamilton asked why this would be required as there are no homes near the track. Planning Director Kilgour said the property 40 ft. across the tracks from the property on Virginia is zoned R-3, and there is a restriction that if there is M-1 property within 100 ft. of the R-3 a block wall is required, whether or not there is a setback. Because of the technicality on the R-1 and the R-3 together, there is a requirement for 20-ft. rear yard setback. continued) TRUCK TERMINAL CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT APPEAL CUP 224 TRUCK TERMINAL & SET PUB.

It will be several weeks before the Council can act upon it, as it is being revised.
