through the City, because others are not charged for their

beyond the control of this City. He advised that any attempt
by the Department of Water and Power to get a return of this
money should be opposed and that the County should be supported
should any litigation arise.

Lieutenant Chettino referred to a Federal Grant awarded
to Los Angeles County for a burglary project and said the East
San Gabriel Valley has been designated as one of the
seven areas for team effort. The project wilt be
handled by West Covina. Baldwin Park wi11 send one officer
to the West Covina Project Office, starting July 1.
Salaries will be paid from the Grant and the matching
funds wi11 be used for equipment. Baldwin Park^s share
w111 be $2,435. He said there was adequate money in
the budget and recommended that the Mayor and the
City Clerk be authorized to sign the Joint Powers
Agreement and allocate $2,435 for the project. He
said the project should increase the recovery of
stolen property and reduce burglaries.
Councilman Kitchet asked if Baldwin Park's fair share
of matching funds, $2,435, was based on the community's
population.
Lt. Cheltino explained it was worked out on a population
scale where each City would pay a share, but that some
cities are furnishing equipment and the City of Irwin-
dale is furnishing their radio frequency rather than
dollars.

Ordinance shall take effect immediately as an Urgency
Ordinance, pursuant to Section 36937 of the Government
Code, and the facts constituting the Urgency are that
this Ordinance is designed to provide a procedure for the
abatement of the nuisances within the City, and.it is
important for the health and safety or the community
that this procedure be immediately available to the C^
without waiting the necessary 30 days to adopt the
Ordinance as a regular Ordinance." He said with the
addition of this paragraph it would be a valid Urgency
Ordinance, if adopted by 4 votes.

Mayor Waldo said his wife's firm was taking part in an
industrial show in Anaheim where industrialists participate
by showing and buying all types of products. One city
had a booth and was trying to attract business to their
city. He said there are 4 to 6 of these big shows across
the nation a year and suggested that the City investigate
the idea of setting up a booth In one of these industrial
shows, offering available labor market, land and everything
the' City has to offer, along with visual aids, to try to
attract industry. He asked the concurrence of the Council
to have the Acting City Manager report back on this.

Mayor Waldo stated that the budget will be open for Public
Hearing after the Council has reviewed it and that Mr. Hybarger
was invited to sit in on the preliminary budget meetings,
although he would not be able to participate.
Mr. Hybarger said in regard to a11 the concern being expressed
over Commissions, he had no choice but to express dissatis-
faction that Recreation & Parks Conmission was not even advised
that this was under consideration, as it is of extreme importance
to them, and that in the past they have not been properly in-
volved in decisions of this nature.
Helen Gibson, 13268 East Francisquito, requested that in the
future the names of the people finishing their term in office
and those coming up for vote be announced to the audience
before they are voted upon. She said she did not approve
of Oral Communications being at the end of the agenda, as
conments are after the fact at that time.
Janet Brown, 3928 Baldwin Park Blvd., asked if there was a
way to make the County do a better job with animal control.
She stated there are vicious dogs where she lives which have tried
to attack her,her children and people walking down the street,
but that the animal control patrol can not touch them when
they get back into their own yard. The owners do not care.
She felt if the dog was turned out that Animal Control should
be able to go in and get the dog, and if the dog was viscious
it should be taken away.
Acting City Attorney Ritchie said if the dog were loose, it
could be chased back onto private property and taken, and
he suggested that if Mr. Sexton would ask for some special
attention from Animal Control they might be able to look
into it. He said there was a Nuisance section, and if the
dog was really vicious they can go after the dog even if
it hasn't bit anyone.
Mr. Sexton said he had made a note of it.
James Garrow, 1011 North Baldwin Park Blvd., said he was
g1a<^ to see some progress being made on redevelopment and
getting sates tax into the City. He said the people against
progress are going to pay 50.8 % and get honorable mention
in the Times newspaper as one of the cities to have one
of the big increases in the County tax, unless they begin
to help and get something going in the City. He said his
phone bills have been over $60, used to try to get devetop-
ers» but that a better image is needed for the City. He
commended the Council for going ahead with the development
of the King's Lodge Motel.
Michael Dargus, 13260 E. Francisquito, referred to the
trucks parked on property at Moran's. He said he had
been fold that trucks can park 20 feet from the curb
and that 6 cement trucks were parked 20 feet from the
curb with the rest parked next to the curb. He said
the trucks must have permission from someone to park
on private property. He said the City has been very
tax in not citing Mr. Moran» and regarding creating image,
the first thing people see when turning off into the City
is 15 or 20 trucks parked there. He said he had had his
time cut short when speaking during Oral Communications
last meeting and addressed himself to Mayor Waldo,
saying that as long as he was Chairman he should listen,
whether he tikes the person or not.

He referred to the use of City facilities, secretary
and stationery for personal correspondence that he
haA spoken to Council roan Kitchel about in May, and
said another personal letter had been sent out later
and that if every department head and Councilman
used the same tactic. U would run into big money.
Tom Carpenter, 4346 Jerry Avenue, Chairman of the League to
Preserve ConstitutK^I & Civil Rights, protested taking
the rights away from tt»e people of Baldwin Park
by turning a Public Hearing into a private hearing
before a City Manager on & public nuisance item and then
charging a $50 appeal fee to bring it before the
City Council. He said this was in violation of the
First Amendment. He objected to the adoption of the
Urgency Ordinance relative to amending the Municipal
Code section relating to public nuisances to allow
anyone wRo thinks there is a public nuisance the right
to go on peop1e*s property to do anything they want.
He stated the Ordlnanca should be revamped as the
law requires a warrant fft get on the property and then
a person may be subject to a misdemeanor and still have
to go to court.
Councilman Hamilton referred to Mr. Hybarger's request,
regarding the transfer Of Recreation & Parks funds,in
order to baUncff the budget, and said he agreed the Mayor
should meet with'the Finance Director, Acting City Manager
arid Mr. Lucas before adoption.
Councilman Hamilton explained the method in which property
tax is divided. The County gets 40%; Schools 35%, Others
library, fire protection and water) 17%, and the City
of Baldwin Park receives only 8%. He said the City has
been accused to sticking the County on property tax,
but he thought it was the City who was being stuck.
Councilman Hamilton said he realized that Animal Control
with the County is not satisfactory, but there Isn't
enough money to go any other way. He asked Acting City
Attorney Ritchie If the Council has the power to change
the Ordinance so that the County has the authority to
go get a vicious dog nd take it off the street.
Mr. Ritchie said this can be done if the Animal Control
officer sees the dog loose and that he can go after the
dog onto private property and apprehend the dog. He
did not think the officer would be willing to go on
private property and seize a dog on someone else's word.
If it can be proved that the dog Is loose, there Is a
violation and the Ordinance is probably sufficient as
it Is now. A complaint would have to be made for violat-
ing'the law and either claim that the dog is a nuisance
and proceed under the Public Nuisance provisions of the
Penal Code. after which the District Attorney, after a
proper showing usually requiring about 3 neighbors to
complain that the dog 1s that kind of a nuisance, will
file a Nuisance complaint, or have a witness go down
and sign a compTaint that they have seen the dog loose,
The District Attorney should issue a complaint for
violating the leash law against that owner. It is
necessary to be prepared to prove something or get a
court order before going on private property to abate
something or take away someone's property. The orderly
way to do it is to file a criminal case, after It has
been investigated, and go against the owner. He said
if lawyers spent all their time litigating and bringing
criminal cases on behalf of people who had legitimate

complaints about dogs, that is about a11 they would be
doing as the dog problem is enormous. The press of
business doesn't allow a11 the dog complaints to be
brought to trial. The only answer would be, if you
can afford 1t» to have an ongoing animal control program,
with an active man in the field catching the dogs loose
on the street and getting them removed.
Council discussion followed and Mr. Ritchie was asked
if a person could be prosecuted if he killed a dog
when it came to his home and bit someone.
Mr. Ritchie said it would depend upon whether he
killed the dog at the time, feeling in good faith
that he was defending his family, or whether he
later threw a piece of poisoned meat over the fence
to the dog. That would not be justifiable.
Councilman Hamilton suggested that the $50 appeal fee
be deleted following public nuisance hearing before
the City Manager, as he felt there are some people
who can not afford to pay this fee in order to be
heard before the City Council. He said he did
not object to the $50 fee appealed from the Planning
Commission to the Council as it requires a lot more
time and cost.
Mayor Waldo asked why the public nuisance abatement hearing
was taken away from the Coimcil and the Staff asked to
do it.
Councilman Hamilton said it was Intended to save time
for the person requesting the hearing, as well as the
time of the Council. There have been very few appeals,
but it is expensive for someone who can't afford it.
Mayor Waldo said if someone could show just cause on
why they couldn't afford $50, the cost should be waived.
Councilman Hamilton said this could not be done because
it is in the Ordinance.
Mayor Waldo stated that if the $50 appeal fee is removed
from everyone, the time of the Staff is taken during
the day and Council will have to hear it anyway. He
suggested leaving it like it is unl-ess the person can
show good cause why he can't afford it, or else abolish
the hearing before the City Manager and just let
Council hear it.
Acting City Attorney Ritchie clarified that the California
courts hold that if someone can't afford the filing fee
for litigation and can make such a showing, whatever the
Code may say about paying a filing fee, the Court must
waive it because it would be a denial of due process to
allow you your day in court because you couldn't afford
the fee. Where the City initiates the proceeding as
opposed to the property owner bringing his own case,
if he wants a hearing before the City Council and
can't afford the fee, the Court would properly hold
that he doesn't have to pay the fee., He said the
Ordinance probably wouldn't have to be changed to
handle that, but it would be an orderly thing to
write the Ordinance and an amendment could be prepared
to make it clear that upon a showing that the person
is indigent and can not afford the fee that they
can make the appeal without paying the fee.

peRegular Meeting of th^ Cildwin Park City Council
Mr. Hattoway said when the budget was put together the
fate of animal control was uncertain, and it was not known
whether the City or County,.wou1d be providing services,
so the figure of $57,M(^r%presenting what is estimated
can be collected on animal licenses, fines, etc. was
put in. This was offset by a $57,000 expenditure so
that there is no net effect on the budget. In the
final adoption, he said they would strike this and
reduce that one section and there would be no dollar effect.
Mr. Halloway said Interest Income was down. During 1974-75,
as high as 12%-interest on money was experienced while
now it is about 5%, although there is a tittle more money
to invest. State Motor Vehicles is up approximately
10% over what we will receive this year. He thought
this was due to the year around registration that the
state is now working on.
Mr. Halloway said many other small items add up to the
total amount, and that the General Fund Revenues will
probably be increased by $300,000 over what was budgeted the
last fiscal period. That represents about 10%.
Mayor Waldo referred to Account Mo. 362.10 and asked what
Special Police Department Services are.
Mr. Halloway said it is a catch-all account" which could
cover witness fees when an officer testifies during titi-
gation, or if a policeman were to cover a dance, etc.
Mr. Hatloway referred to Special Fund Revenues such as
Street Lighting, which is financed through a general
property tax and is where the bulk of the money comes
from. Other special funds include Gas Tax monies,
vehicle code fines, HCD and other government grants
which it is hoped will come in this year. A new special
fund is Fire Hydrant Fees, recommended for establishment
to equalize the assessment that is placed on a property
owner when he develops a parcel of land. If someone
builds some homes and happens to be so many feet from
the fire hydrant, he gets stuck" with the whole tab.
Hopefully, this fund wilt be self supporting. He
said CETA Funds are a big item in the budget and that
Congress has several bills pending on CETA. This
represents a full year's project.
Mr. Halloway referred to $2,952,999 at the top of Page iv
on the General Fund Balance Sheet, which he said corre-
lates back with the figure on Page ii and will be the
amount of income that will be coming in from all the
various sources'. Transfers In represents money coming
in from the Special Fu-nds; Transfers Out represents
money being put into the Fire Hydrant Fund and the
Street Lighting Fund. He said he labeled 2 figures
for Surplus, to avoid confusion. Other Surplus
represents Revenue Sharing, which has been set aside
for building the City Yard and City Hall. He said
the expenditures of a11 the departments under the
General Fund total $5,520,618, leaving $553,894 to
meet the demands of Meet and Confer and other
emergencies or desires of the Council. He referred
to Revenue Sharing, under Transfers In, $360,000,
and said it represents the funding left on the
5-year program which win be up December 31, 1976.
It is pretty certain Revenue Sharing win be continued,
but only the sure thing" was budgeted. That figure,

added to the figure under Other Surplus, is $1.592.348.
This figure correlates under Expenditures to Public
Works' Building and Maintenance Yard. These 2 figures
add up to equal the Revenue. Only the exact amount
that the City has is being budgeted for those 2 purposes.
Mayor Waldo asked if the $22,553 amount under General
Fund Expenditures for the City Attorney included the amount
expected to be spent on the litigation with Mr. Carpenter
or if it was separate.
Mr. Halloway said this amount just includes his normal
fees and some funds for special litigations and that
the CRA is a separate matter.
Page v showed balance sheets of the other special funds.
Mr. Halloway said these transfer figures correlate to
the same figure under General Fund Balance Sheet, Page 1v.
He clarified that Vehicle Code Fines was not shown
because it was a complete transfer, i.e., $200,000 will
be collected and transferred into the General Fund.
Councilman Aguilar asked what percentage of traffic
fines such as moving violations and traffic tickets
the City gets.
Mr. Halloway said that the amount varies and that
last month $18,000 was collected, while some months
it might be only $10.000. He referred to Lt. Aldrich
to explain what percentage comes back.
Lt. Aldrich said that currently it was 85-89% and that
there was some talk of lowering to around 45!K. 100%
of Municipal Code violations are returned and 90% of
ABC violations, which are part of the Business and
Professions Code.
Mr. Halloway explained that when an offender on an
ABC violation is sent to traffic school the City
receives nothing and an officer is sent to court
and a lot of time is lost. He said some of the
$200.000 is used to help defray this cost.
Councilman Kitchel asked if the amount under FAU funds
includes the money we are exchanging with Manhattan Beach.
Assistant City Manager Sexton said the $40,000 transferred
into the General Fund from the FAU Funds represents the
administrative charge they are capable of levying to the
Federal government for the engineering time spent on the
project.
Mr. Lathrop said the 3-year allocation is $300.000.
Mr. Sexton said it has been extended by 2 more years at
$186,000 a year plus the $370,000 from Manhattan Beach.
To get the administrative money, it is necessary to
go to contract and spend the money and then tack on
roughly 10%. He said this was the amount he and Mr.
Lathrop thought could be reasonably spent, and the
$40,000 was the amount they could get into the General
Fund, based on what Engineering does with those projects.
It is a fairly conservative amount.
Mr. Halloway said this meant no." That would be over
a million dollars.
Mr. Halloway referred to Page 6, City Council, and said
it laid out the detail of Maintenance and Operations
account. He said the figures on the conferences to
be attended are guesstimates" and are put there as

information.
Councilman Hamttton'referred to the various conferences
listed and said he was trying to justify expenditures
for attendance.
Acting City Manager Sexton referred to Page 1, City Council,
Maintenance & Operations, for 1975-76 for $5,000 projected
expenditure and said the recommended budget figure is
modest considering the benefits the City can receive from
participation and membership in the organizations. He
said they were proposed on the understanding that the
Council would go anywhere, anytime, anyplace to accomplish
the task of improving the conmunity by new revenue sources
and their possibilities.
Councilman Hamilton said $16,17.7 had been budgeted last year
with $21,885 proposed for this year. He asked if the
projected expenditure of $20,000 had been spent this year.
Mr. Halloway said it was projected at the rate it was
being expended and would probably turn out to be closer
than the $16,000 that had been budgeted.
Discussion followed whether expenditures were necessary
to make contacts and meet people or whether it can be
done by making application for grants and revenue funds
as has been done previously, by tetters and other
conmunication. The consensus was that it would be
necessary to spend money to reach out and accomplish
something.
Councilman Hamilton said he had no criticism for past
Councils over the last 15 years in their level-headed
approach.
Councilman Hamilton stated that $135,000 is being taken
away from Recreation & Parks to balance the budget and
also have $130,000 more in property tax revenue.
Mayor Waldo reminded Councilman Hamilton that all the
revenues anticipated are being estimated very conserv-
atively and not blown out of perspective as in the past.
Mr. Sexton referred to the pie chart" on City Revenue
and said that government grants represent about 45%
of the total City revenue.
Councilman Kitchet stated that the auditors had
indicated that if the Federal grants are stopped
Baldwin Park may have to cut back on services,
or possibly increase property taxes, and he felt
Baldwin Park would have to take an active rote
and get involved by strengthening its tax base
rather than depending upon the Federal government.
Mr. Sexton said that what the City has is about
45% of almost nothing, and that it may be possible
to obtain more grants if the City undertakes to
go after them in a more organized fashion. He
clarified the preliminary budget has been shaped
to try to hold the line on cost in certain areas
in order to give priorities to areas that will
gain revenue rather than cost a lot of money.
The itemized meetings are indications of some
of the modest cost to broaden efforts to
broaden the City*s tax base.

Councilman Hamilton said 45% of nothing had in
reality been over $2 Million in grants.
Mr. Sexton said he hadn't really meant to be that extreme,
but that he had heard it said that if the City had been
involved in grants 10 years ago, the people who spent
over $9 Million out of their own pockets for curbs and
gutters could have availed themselves of HUD programs
that would have paid 2/3 of the cost. The City did
not take advantage of those programs when they were
happening. He said the income dollars each person
pays flow to Washington and they are distributed
from Washington as revenue, and when 11'ie City does
not avail themselves of this money it Is distributed
to other cities. In effect, the City of Baldwin Park
has been subsidizing the matching funds and improvements
that other cities have received.
Mayor Waldo said he could remember back 4 1/2 years
ago when the City Manager was criticized for not
making more effort in that direction and that that
was when they woke up to the vast amounts of money out
there.
Mr. Hattoway said these items had been put there merely
to identify costs.
Mr. Sexton said that these items indicate costs during
the forthcoming year and that approving the budget win
be approving these cost items.
Mr. Halloway referred to Page 7, City Manager, and said
the major changes in this department would be to increase
staffing in certain areas and address the costs of the
Newsletter. It represents some of the increases in the
personal services in the M & 0 categories and is a
summary page bringing out the cost in the 4 categories
listed. He said there was a substantial Increase 1n
personal services and in Maintenance & Operations.
It does not include any increase in salaries that might
be coming about.
Mr. Sexton referred to Page 12, City Manager, relating
to personnel, and said the cost of next year's operation
over this year's was being increased by about $50,000.
He said these costs were primarily assigned to Admin-
istrative Analyst, Administrative Assistant/Communications
and Administrative Assistant/Development. He said these
wilt be labeled as CETA personnel in the final budget
and if they are able to obtain them with grants from
the CETA Program that is how they wilt do that; other-
wise, it is proposed that they be filled under General
Fund Revenues.
Mr. Hatloway said most of the other items are in line
with past expenditures, with the exception of Capital
Outlay which is somewhat diminished. He stated this
was a truism throughout the whole budget.
Mr. Halloway said there were no major increases under
City Clerk, Page 15, as the approved budget for 1975-76
was $61,866 and the recommended budget is $61,977.000
Mr. Halloway said the Finance Department, Page 23, is
recommending approximately $15,000 increase, including
teasing another copy machine for upstairs operation.
Other increases are salaries, including the upgrading
of one position as approved by Council for $5000 or less.

Councilman Hamilton referred to Business License Collector,
Page 28, and asked if Mr. Halloway had any idea of the
amount of business license money this person might bring in,
over and abov& tN normal amount of license fees collected
by people coming in to City Hall.
Mr. Hatloway said that the Mayor had asked for a report on
this and that he had asked the City Manager that he put
this report aside during the budget process and Meet and
Confer until he could really do a study on it to figure
out how many dollars are being lost on this. He estimated
that the Business License Collector probably brings in
the normal, far in excess of his salary probably $15,000,
$20,000-$30»000 more. by letters, some field work and
sources other than relying on businessmen coming in to
pay their license. There is a big turnover in businesses,
and people habitually saying they didn't know they had
to have a license. They have to knock on the door of
those. The State Equalization sends a card the retailer
must file and he is sent a letter asking him to come to
City Hall to pay his business license. The papers are
scanned for fictitious name advertisements.
Mr. Halloway said his report may recommend that the
Business License Collector spend more time in the field,
but that the problem has been a problem of transportation.
Mr. Hamilton asked if a full time'man collecting business
licenses would bring in enough revenue to justify the
expenditure.
Mr. Halloway said it is too early to say, without
having made a study, but he would probably reconmend
doing this without hiring another person for the function.
Councilman Kitchel referred to Page 26, Account No.
558.20, and asked why the item had been deleted.
Mr. Hatlow^y said this was a bond on himself and that
it is being carried instead under Item 22, Fixed Charges.
Mr. Halloway said there was no change on Page 31,
City Treasurer, with the budget of $1,077 being
the same as last year.
Mr. Halloway referred to Page 36, City Attorney,'saying
there was a decrease of $2000 over what was approved
for the 1975-76 fiscal year.
Mr. Sexton said the salary for this service rendered
is low, in comparison to other cities, and that there
ought to be some consideration given to increasing
this when salary adjustments are discussed. Costs
for legal fees and services are not current.
Mayor Waldo said he would tike for the Staff to find
out what the rule of thumb is for how often salaries
are to be upgraded.
Mr. Sexton stated this City is out of sine with other
cities of the same population size, and has had
a lot more litigation and this salary only covers
a retainer. It does not cover added unforeseen costs
that are brought about by other suits against the
City.

Councilman Hamilton suggested that this City not
volunteer to raising the City Attorney's salary
because some other city did» as the cost is quite
high, $14,520, the same as last year.
Mayor Waldo referred to Page 38, on Meetings and
Conferences, and asked if that included sending
the City Attorney out of state or to Sacramento.
Mr. Haltoway said that the past practice by the
other attorney was to go to a League Conference
or other meeting and spread the cost among the
cities that he represented, and this amount
placed in the budget would represent this
City's share of the cost. If it was expense
incurred specifically for the City of Baldwin Park,
the budget would have to be amended.

Meeting times and locations were discussed
for continuation of the review of the

Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council

Councilman Hamilton felt this would be hard to prove
whether a person could afford it or not and said that
he was recommending that the $50 appeal fee be eliminated
for abatement of public nuisance that comes before the City Manager
Councilman Aguitar agreed and said it would be unconstitutional to
charge one person $50 and drop it on another person.
Mr. Ritchie said the fee can be charged and waive it
with evidence that somebody would be denied their hearing
because they haven't the money to pay it. This distinction
can be made.
It was decided to refer the matter back to Staff to make
a recommendation.
Mayor Waldo stated that last year Baldwin Park had over
$8 million worth of building of which the County would
get $160,000 in property tax; schools $100,000 and
the City almost $25,000. He said if you add up the
hours Staff worked to get that development you will find
that the City lost money.
Mayor Waldo announced there would be a 5 minute recess
before the preliminary budget review. With Council permission
he excusedClty Treasurer Montenegro, who was not feeling well.

Acting City Manager Sexton referred to the minutes of June 10,
1976 and his presentation of the 1976-77 budget. He said
the budget is early and that the timeliness is due to a
lot of work and effort by the Staff. The budget is balanced
and does not require any tax increase. He said the City of
Baldwin Park to have a balanced budget with less than Q% of
the tax dollar is to be commended for having the level of
services that it has now. He said that the budget shows
that, unless the City obtains new revenue sources, the trend
to provide services is decreasing. The prospect for next
year is bleak. The total staff complement of the City
has been reduced by one position, through adjustments in
allocation of personnel resources available. The budget
will maintain the same level of services to its residents
as it has in the past and will enable an increased effort
to increase the City's tax base. He said the budget attempts
to combine a conservative, hold-the-tine approach with the
mandated spirit for progress and development. He explained
that Director of Finance Halloway and Assistant City Manager
Sexton contributed a big effort in accomplishing the budget
in timely fashion, in addition to the department heads,
and that they were present to answer questions of the Council.
Director of Finance Halloway referred to Page A, Proposed
Table of Organization, showing the positions currently
within the City. those requested by departments, and
those recommended for approval. He pointed out that on
Page B, the count of 187 was decreased to 186 or 1 position.
He said the next page showed where the General Fund revenue
comes from, including property taxes, licenses, etc. He
said the evaluation of property is up 15% this year over
last year. This is just an estimate, but one they feet
secure in, and accounts for some increase in revenue.
Sates taxes are projected to be up 3 or W from last year.
