Director of Planning Kilgour said questions had
been raised at the last Council Heeling, and
Mayor Waldo had planned to meet w-.th property
owners and investigate these questions. It
had been questioned whether an Environmental
Impact Report should be written or whether
it should be a Negative Declaration, but
it was the Staff's opinion that there was
no need for an E.I.R. There were three
issues: the multi-family zoning as a buffer,
traffic as hazards on Ramona Blvd., and the
impact of breaking in the cul-de-sac. He
said these items were not detrimental to
the neighborhood if the General Plan is
changed as recommended by the Planning
Commission. He reviewed these recomnenda-
tions for Parcel A, B and C and for certifi-
cation of the Negative Declaration of
Environmental Impact.
Mayor pro tern Kitchel opened the public
hearing and asked for testimony.
Larry Adams• 15323 Adams Drive, spoke in
favor of R-2 zoning in the area recommended
in AGP-36. rather than light industrial.
Kelty Bixby. 9209 Sunset Blvd.. Los Angeles.
renewed his opposition to AGP-36 on Parcel A.
He said there was need of a full-scale environ-
mental impact report.
Linda Anderson. 4210 Laurel Avenue, wanted
to continue the public hearing until they
could meet with Mayor Waldo.
As there was no further testimony in behalf
or in opposition to AGP-36. Mayor pro tern
Kitchel dosed the public hearing.
Councilman Aguilar suggested continuing the
public hearing until Mayor Waldo could meet
with residents. Council discussion followed
with the consensus that testimony had been
received and that the majority of property owners
and Council members were in favor of zoning
as recomnended by the Planning Commission.

Director of Planning Kilgour reviewed his Staff
report. He said there was a relationship between
this zone case and the Puente-Merced project and
that the Redevelopment Agency had not had time
to review the matter. He recommended that testimony
be taken during the public hearing and that the
public hearing be continued until a report had
been received by the City Council from the Agency.
Mayor pro tern Kitchel opened the public hearing
and asked for testimony.
Paul Wheeler» 21220 Mesarica Road, Covina, the
applicant, stated that they feet they have
submitted plans and drawings to offer a package
that will be an asset to Baldwin Park.
Jack Schluneger, 3143 Puente Avenue, property
owner adjoining the proposed development,
asked for clarification of what would be developed.
Mr. Kilgour said that only a change of zone
was involved. A change from R-1 to R-3 would
allow multi-family development and the builder
could build a two-story development, but they
were not tying down what configuration the
land use would take on the property. The
applicant's tentative plan had indicated a
one story development with garage units on
the common property.
Discussion followed regarding whether a fence
would be built. Mr. Kilgour stated that a
6 ft. minimum height fence was required. He
informed Mr. Schluneger that the General Plan
indicated a multiple family designation on
his property and others on Puente Avenue,
and that this designation would have to
be requested in order for Mr. Schluneger
to have a change of zone on his property.
As there was no further testimony in behalf
or in opposition to AGP-36. Mayor pro tern
Kitchel closed the public hearing.
The Council agreed to reopen and continue the public
hearing on Z-407 to July 7, 1977, in order
that the Redevelopment Agency and Advisory
Commission will have an opportunity to review
and give their analysis at this hearing.

Acting City Manager Sexton said negotiations
had been completed for the interior design

five finalists had been involved in the
process and that the lowest acceptable bid
had been submitted by the firm of Ford/Wilson.
He recomnended they be awarded the contract.
He explained that they do not manifacture
furniture or act as a dealer or representa-
tive of a manufacturer. Bids and specifica-
tions will be written for the furniture
that is agreed on as a result of their
research, but they will not be engaged
in the process of buying furniture. All

Acting City Manager Sexton referred to the
recruitment of a Public Works Director
to replace Mr. Lathrop. He said that in
light of the Anderson report the Council
may wish to defer recruitment* or they
may wish to start recruitment. He said
the Staff felt that it might be meaningless
to advertise unless the job descriptions
were altered to reflect the recomr.endations
of the Andersen report.
Council discussion followed regarding
whether to defer recruitment until they
can act upon the Anderson report, which
calls for restructuring that department
and filling the position with a person
of different qualifications, or whether
to go ahead and fi11 the position.
Councilman Blewett said he thought it
was premature for the Council to not fill
the Director of Public Work's position
when the position had not yet been filled
for the City Manager's position. He
proposed advertising for a new City Manager.
He said their attorney had advised not
to advertise, however, while they wen*
in litigation with Mr. Mitchell. but he
would not want an Acting City Manager to
have the power of appointing Department Heads.

stated that they had been endorsed by the
City Council in their endeavor to create jobs
and motivate men to take their piece in society.
They are starting classes to teach English to
those who speak Spanish and expect to have a
physical education program for the youth. He
said that they had invested only their own
money and that of private individuals. None
had been received from city, state or federal
organizations. They would like to work without
government funds and felt that the private
sector must make the meaningful jobs. They
were asking the City Council for $25.000.
and hoped to receive future funds from the
private sector,
i
Councilman Aguilar referred to letters which
had been distributed among the Council from
Danny Miranda and A1ex Carrera. he said Danny
Miranda had stated he had not received training
at his facility.
Mr. Stein related his experiences with Mr.
Miranda and Mr. Carrera during the five months
they worked with them.
Councilman Blewett stated that the administrative
costs on the budget that was submitted amounted
to over 33%, and that he was sure private enter-
prise would not grant money on this type of budget,
Mr. Stein said that four CETA employees they
had been promised were part of the the budget.
He stated that the cost of the U.S. government
providing one job was $100,000.
Councilman Blewett said the cost was not that
high for Mid-Valley Manpower Consortium to
provide one job.
Mr. Stein said they are paying $1.50 per hour
to an employer to take an untrained man and
train him for a six-month period. He related
an instance where training a man had cost
$1500. He stated that $78,000 of the budget
goes to the employer, which means that it
goes back into the community. He said this
was a sample budget. He said that part of
the $25.000 may be used to employ two employees
if they don't get the CETA employees, with
the rest going for paying such bills as the
telephone bills. He explained the function
of the office manager they would like to hire.
He said they would approach such foundations
at the Ford Foundation for private money»
as they are interested in the private sector.
They wished to avoid getting federal money
as it comes from the taxpayer.
Councilman Blewett suggested that their
group research the Foundations Library at
UCLA through the federal tax returns of
the various foundations. He said some
foundations are self serving, while others
put money into the areas of medicine or education.
He said the foundations m^y not be involved in
manpower, because the federal government is

so heavily Involved in putting money into it.
Mr. Stein said they could secure r'unds from
the Bank of America or United California Bank
after they have been around for a year- They
need the $25,000 now to get started.
Councilman Aguilar said John Rousselot was
shown as one of their representatives.
Mr. Stein said Jack McLean represented
Congressman Rousselot and that Mr. McLean
was concerned about their getting seed money.
Councilman Blewett said Mr. McLean had told him he
was interested in seeing that they receive
CETA positions, but that he did not feel that
the City should get into the Manpower business.
Dwalne Glass, Glasstein Auto Parts, told of
the formulation of their corporation and said
they are already a publicly supported foundation
with a tax exemption clear through 1980. They
felt that business men would be more qualified
to train people In businesses than people who
are hired by the government to train them.
They had devoted time as well as money and
had been asked for help by many people. If
the City is unable to extend money, they will
have to find other alternatives to raise the
money.
Councilman Blewett said Manpower Consortium
demanded that a11 their providers submit
budgets with 10-13t administrative costs.
This budget was three times that high.
Mr. Glass said the budget provides for
wages for four CETA employees to be trained
by good Job administrators and thct they
hoped that by the time the CETA employees
were up the funding from the private sector
would achieve the level they would need
for their year long budget. They could
eliminate the four CETA employees and
employ only an office manager and someone
to answer the phone, but they would not
be helping to train people under CETA.
After six months, these unemployable
people would be trained to do something
other than mowing lawns, sweeping streets
and repainting graffiti.
Councilman AguHar asked what the criteria
would be for hiring the CETA employees.
He stated that Manpower Consortium w111
not hire anyone under these manpower
programs if his father made more than
$10,000.
Mr. Glass said they had no restrictions
like that.
Councilman Blewett said he had talked to
most of the Advisory Committee and had
been told that it was to be a private
enterprise venture and that they weren't
planning to seek funds from the government.

Mr. Glass said Mr. McLean had told them there
was a possibility of using federal money for
start ups, as it is difficult to find someone
who wants to help it get started. They would
appreciate the City's help and the City would
benefit from it.
Rev. Walter, member of the Advisory Council,
said he was in favor of the stated aims of
the Inter-Comunity Improvement Society. He
had not been aware of the change in policy
to petition for public money for start up.
He suggested that perhaps there should be a
postponement of this action until the Board
of Directors could ask the advice of Advisory
Council members.
Assistant Acting City Attorney McEwen stated
they would attempt to have a legal opinion
by the next meeting on whether the Council
has any legal basis to make this kind of a
grant. It would be wise to Insure that
money was being spent in the best places
possible. He said there would be no require-
ment to advertise for public bids, but they
should explore what other avenues are available
for accomplishing the same type of purpose
that this organization is accomplishing.
as well as considering the City's budget
limitations.
Councilman Hamilton expressed approval of
a program where the employer would pay half
the wages until the employee was trained.
He said he thought the objectives were good
and it was a non profit organization. There
was a need for service people in many fields.
Mr. Sexton said the Staff had not completed
their analysis of the organization and did
not know If the City had the resources to fund
them. The Staff would be concerned whether
the organization had adequate funding to
attain their goats within a reasonable time.
Underfunding could affect their success
as well as overfunding. There was the
question of what other funding agencies
are engaged in manpower programs or parallel
what this organization Is proposing to do
for this City. It had not been determined
what kind of priorities would be necessary
regarding resources once they were identified.
He said some kind of percentage matching
arrangement had been suggested whereby
an attempt could be made to leverage the
organization's possibilities with the
federal, state and county agencies that
have these programs underway. When they
have enough facts to make a recommendation,
they will try to parallel that with the
legal opinion that is expected.
Councilman Blewett suggested that the organi-
zation submit a list of the various foundations
that would be potential doners. Tneir tax
returns will show exactly who each foundation
donated to in the last couple of years and
will show whether the Inter-Community
Improvement Society can get private source
money.

Mr. Sexton said that the City, in their attempt
to bring new revenue into the City, go to these
same public and private sources and are familiar
with these lists of alt the foundations that are
engaged in these philanthropic tax write off grants
Councilman Blewett stated that the grants tend
to go into the areas of education and medicine.
He wanted to see a list of the foundations
interested in manpower programs.
Mayor pro tern Kitchel commended Mr. Stein and
Mr. Glass for their involvement and effort to

Bill Clayton, Chamber of Connerce Manager, greeted
the assemblage in Spanish and was attired in
similar costume. He addressed the Council re-
garding the Cinco de Mayo promotional sidewalk
sale and celebration to take place the next
three days. He gave an invitation to shop
and participate in entertainment and watch
the parade on Saturday. He said there would
be an art competition on the streets, with
prizes awarded. He introduced his successor,
Mr. Seymour Holtzman.
Seymour Holtzman, said he had been on the
job since Monday and had been busy. He hoped
his tenure there would produce an era of
good feeling between City government and
the City and the business sector. He
said in the months ahead he hoped his actions
would demonstrate that he can deserve their
confidence.
Councilman Hamilton was enthused about
the promotional sale to stimulate sales
and bring sales tax revenue to thft City.
He urged the Councilmen to attend and said he
appreciated the efforts of the Cha-nber to
bring Cinco de Mayo about.
Councilman Agullar told Mr. Clayton he

He said the police had been to this location
many times and that he felt a health enforcement
had gone astray and that the courts were respon-
sible for releasing these people again and again.
He said the co-unity of Baldwin Park should stand
united and deplore the situation and demand that
the courts punish such people. He suggested a
coBTOumty meeting to get comnunlty support to do
something through legislation that would make
action mandatory by the judges who are so lenient.

Gloria Zook, 4817 N. La Rica, said that not
only the people are being shot at, but the
officers are being ridiculed and shot at.
She said she watches a scanner and that
officers do respond within three or four
minutes, unless there Is an emergency situation
elsewhere. She stated the people were fortunate
to have the officers they have and they should
start working with them Instead of knocking
them down, or they may lose all of then.

Ton Carpenter, 4346 Jerry, said that at
budget time he had recommended that more
policemen be added, but that he had been
told that normally the percentage they had
was In excess of what was required. He
said Baldwin Park didn't have a normal
situation and that It was not true that
the police department didn't need to be
expanded. He stated the gangs had taken
over the City and said the Council should
be realistic and put money where it was
needed to get more police and help the
people.

Sandra Neal, 3818 Athot. asked what had
been done about the tax situation of
the owner of the Happy Days Malt Shop.
She said she could sympathize because
of her own experiences with crime since
she had come to Baldwin Park and that
she thought that It required more police
officers because of the great number of
crimes for a City of this size. She
said she understood that the six new officers
that had been hired were desk men and
not patrol officers. She referred to
the $400,000 owed by CRA to the City
and said this was money 111 spent.
She said they should maintain the people
first and give them what they want,
and what they wanted was not hotels.
She referred to the spending of $86,000
on CRA in Ventura as being considered
outrageous by their Councilman and
said this Council never questions being
in hock $400,000 but can't put an
extra policeman on the street.

and after that his duty is done.

A gentleman who said he did not want to discuss
the reasons for not giving his name said that

his first right as a person and also took the

RE SHOOTINGS
Frank Zarate, 1748 Halinor, referred to the
investigations on who was doing the shooting

and said whoever it was, they should pay for
their crimes. He said if there was money,
it should be used to help the people instead
of doing nothing.

Mayor pro tern Kitchet responded to statements
about indifferent politicians who spend money
on redevelopment and don't care about the
citizens. He stated that last June an Individ-
ual had been killed in front of his house in
a gang related incident with a sawed off shotgun
He said that only he and one other person on
the block testified and identified the suspect.
who is now serving time. He stated that
spending money on community redevelopment
will strengthen the economy so that services
can be provided that the people are demanding.
He requested that Chief Chellino launch a
full investigation into the shootings and
get together with Wayne Lukart and accept
phone numbers from others who are involved.
Councilman Hamilton stated that the Council
merely passes City Ordinances and that the
people should go to their state and federal
representatives to get the laws changed so
that individuals will be punished commensurate
with the crime they committed.
Councilman Aguitar stressed the importance
of witnesses to testify after seeing a crime.
Council discussion followed regarding citizen
involvement and participation to see that
suspects are convicted. The consensus was
that putting a police officer on every corner
would not solve the problems. Problems were
caused by unemployment and lack of recreation
for youth. Money that was needed to combat
these problems might be brought into the
City by redevelopment.

Mayor pro tern Kitchel said the Council could
go through the procedure of issuing a Resolution
to the juvenile division, asking tnem to take
a harder stance in enforcing the law, but it
would be purely ceremonial and probably wouldn't
have much effect-
Councilman Blewett requested that Mr. Sexton
bring back a report on the Happy Days Matt Shop
to the next Council meeting. He said he was
in favor of social programs for the youth,
but remembered that when he grew up in Baldwin
Park, they did not commit crimes simply because
they weren't rich.- He stated that he supported
the police, but thought it was a cop out" to
excuse themselves by saying the courts do not
do their job- He said crimes should not be
excused and that though the Council was not
responsible for the Courts they were responsible
for protection of the citizens. There was a
strong feeling in the community of wanting
increased police protection and he considered
this a high priority. He stated he had
requested a report from Chief Chellino two
meetings ago on police complement. One Captain
had been budgeted, but they have two Captains
and a lot of chiefs" but no Indians." He
said he thought Chief Chellino should be
responsible to see that every prosecutable
crime is brought to the attention of the
District Attorney. If he doesn't do his
job, then call the Los Angeles District
Attorney and try to get him to do his job.
Councilman Hamilton said he would have Hked to
take some of the money that had been wasted
to add patrolmen, but that the probation de-
partment needed overhauling and that it should
be mandatory for judges to hand out a minimum
sentence for crimes committed. It should
start in Sacramento.
Mayor pro tern Kitchel said it starts on
all fronts. Educational and judicial reform
and citizen participation was necessary.
Family values had greatly diminished and
they do not discipline children the way
they used to. He said it was an extremely
complicated situation and it was unrealistic
to suggest that Council should put a cop on
every corner to solve the problems overnight.
He stated that it was the first time in
mar^y years that the police department had
a fu11 complement.
Councilman Blewett referred to the drainage
of people from the community and said they
wouldn't be leaving if they had been given
adequate protect!on-
