The policy regarding Stockdale Street dictated that sidewalks be constructed on the property line, and crepe ipyrtle trees would have to be removed; therefore, it had been recommended that sidewalks not be constructed adjacent to the curb.

He suggested approval of the contract now. with meetings later to evaluate changes. Councilman Aguilar stated he wanted to discuss the changes now. Mr. Sexton referred to Page 2 of the contract and stated the change as requested by the Chamber of 120 days rather than ninety days seemed to be a feasible approach. He also read the proposed changes in Section b.» page 2: The Chamber shall develop a program of business promotions and aids to assist existing businesses as we11 as businesses desiring to locate within the City. This program shall include a minimum of three promotions per calendar year. It shall also include a long-range program to encourage the location of business, commerce and industry within the City; both programs shall be conducted with local merchant and businessmen's cooperation.

He had accepted the position pending a letter assuring him that he will be paid. Councilman Aguitar inquired whether the Chamber would provide matching funds with the City when they are paid $13,000 every quarter. Mr. Sexton stated that these amounts have been worked out on estimates of revenue from the Chamber and reflect a 3-1 ratio, representing $3 from the City for every dollar brought in in membership by the Chamber. Quarterly reports wi11 be made so that progress can be evaluated. APPROVE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE CONTRACT WITH STIPULATED AMENDMENTS- M/S/C: KITCHEL/WALDO. Roll Call. There were no objections. 00- Acting City Manager Sexton referred to the publication and distribution of the Newsletter. It was due to be published in March on a quarterly basis, but was delayed to maximize the promotional opportunities in connection with the ground breaking ceremonies, and in conjunction with that, the distribution of the CRA annual report. He proposed this change in format and content as well as to the elements of distribution be approved. Councilman Hamilton referred to the tetter received from the Acting City Attorney and said he wanted to clarify what his request to him had been, as there seemed to be a misunderstanding. He stated that what he had questioned was the political overtone of the state of the City" address that was to be printed. He asked if this was contrary to the Elections Code. He said Mr. Ritchie had addressed more to the expenditure of printing this than whether it was contrary to the Elections Code. Councilman Hamilton said that in his opinion it did have political overtones because certain people were attacked in it and because there was a possible coming election. He had understood that there should be no expenditure for an elected official's picture in a City Newsletter when there was a pending election. He questioned whether it was a violation of the Elections Code. Assistant Acting City Attorney McEwen stated that Mr. Ritchie's opinion had been stated on whether the publication of the speech but not the publi- cation of the Newsletter) was a proper expenditure of public funds and whether it was published in a political context. Mr. McEwen said they could discover no prohibition in the Elections Code for this type of publication. The speech had outlined the events of accomplishments that had occurred in the City, although a few personal opinions had been included. This was considered an appropriate subject for a City Newsletter. He stated there was no election pending. Councilman Blewett said there had been a lengthy attack by the Mayor against the two policemen involved in the recent personnel hearings. He said this had been moved upon by the Personnel Commission in the one officer's case, and asked what the liability of the City would be when continued) APPROVE CHAMBER f COMMERCE CONTRAC1 WITH AMENDMENTS CHANGE IN FORMAT ft DISTRIBUTION OF CITY NEWSLETTER BIB] 37657-U01 1977-U02 04-U02 07-U02 CC-U02 MIN-U02 LI1-U03 FO9591-U03 FO9724-U03 DO9752-U03 C4-U03 MINUTES1-U03 2/4/2003-U04 ROBIN-U04 REGULAR-U05 SESSION-U05 CITY-U06 COUNCIL-U06 1977 04 07 CC MIN(ÌìÌÜRegular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council April 7. Page 5 1977 something is published still castigating him although he had been exonerated. Councilman Hamilton stated he was concerned with this 3 too, as statements had been made regarding wire tapping, Un-American activities" and practically constitute treason." He said he also questioned an attack on people who had not agreed with them on CRA being published in the City Newsletter. Mr. McEwen responded to Councilman Blewett's concern that the statements regarding the policemen had been made prior to the decision of the Personnel Commission but was not sure if the decision in any way changed the significance. He said he could not give an opinion on liability right now. but could address it later. Councilman Blewett suggested that Mayor Waldo sign a written waiver accepting all liability for his remarks on anything in his address that goes out at the City's expense. He did not want the City to be liable for unappropriate remarks. Mayor Waldo read his remarks on wiretapping and defended them as being fact or as being addressed to those involved and still at large, rather than to the officers themselves. Mr. McEwen said that if any question of liability is raised after reviewing the applicable law, they will recommend that this be deleted before publication. Councilman Blewett asked whether the cost of the Annual CRA Report had come before the CRA Board. Mr. Sexton said it had and that it was a require- ment of law to make an annual report. Councilman Blewett asked what the cost for the annual report would be and whether a copy would be sent to everyone in the City. Mr. Sexton said this was the proposal, with the rationale that businesses send stock holders their annual reports, and voters are considered in the same category relative to information on progress being made by redevelopment in the conmunity. He did not have the figures on the cost with him.

The motion carried. 00- Acting City Manager Sexton referred to questions that had occurred relative to an alleged $1500 expenditure for filming the state of the City" message at the recent dinner meeting and stated he was making a report on this question. He said for the past year they had been engaged in an attempt to record alt endeavors of progress in the community and had understood there was a policy to document these things, film being one media which can be used to inform the people. He said there had been no expenditure of $1500 for filming the state of the City" message. He questioned if the Council wished to reaffirm its policy relative to recording and documenting efforts of development and progress in the community in order to enhance opportunities to grow further. Councilman Blewett stated there had been several newspaper articles released relating to the ex- penditure to a firm called Image Makers." Mr. Sexton said that image Makers" was only one of several proposals received. Councilman Hamilton stated that Council should have discussions before expense was created, rather than the majority voting it in and then asking Council to approve. Councilman Kitchel said that all the Councilmen receive a newsletter on Friday nights which welcomes their input on all issues. They are all apprised of what is happening every week Councilman Hamilton stated that he had responded to every one of the Acting City Manager's requests for response. He said he received the newsletter on Friday night, but by the time he could respond on Monday the action and expense had already been taken. Councilman Aguilar said that three weeks ago the news- letter contained the budget for the ground breaking, the entertainers' names and a cost of $5000, and tonight they are acting on it. Councilman Hamilton asked Acting City Manager Sexton if he had ever failed to respond to the newsletter when he had been asked to. Mr. Sexton responded, No, sir."

Mr. McEwen responded that he did not believe so Councilman Blewett asked how many Police Captain positions had been authorized by the budget. Acting City Manager Sexton stated that two positions for Captain had been structured by Police Chief Adams. Councilman Blewett asked Direct-or of Finance Halloway to bring back a report on budqeted police complement to assure that only positions allocated by the Council had been filled. Chief of Police Chellino advised that Chief of Police Adams had submitted a request last year for two Police Captains and that this had been included in last year's budget proposal. Councilman Blewett asked Chief of Police Chellino to report at next Council Meeting regarding what the Police complement was and whether it was ov'^r or under par.

Councilman Hamilton said that he had understood that the District Attorney's office took over the prosecution of proceedings of a criminal nature and that since this was an administrative hearing before the Personnel Commission, alt this shouldn't be necessary. He said he saw no reason for hiring an attorney to assist the City attorney unless there was a case of prosecution. Councilman Aguilar said the City should try to prove the policemen innocent or guilty, because it is hard to explain to gang members why the police aren't punished for breaking the law but that they should obey the law.
