He said the lot size was 80' by 210', with 140'
behind the house and that only 95' of the property
had been disced on this last contract. He said
the front of the house had not been disced and
that the part of the back that had not been disced
was more of a fire hazard than what had been done.
He distributed photographs among the Council and
stated that he was objecting to the amount of work
that was done for that amount of money.
Mr. Dawson said that the owners and Mr. Angelo,
as agent for the owners, had been notified in
timely fashion over the last year and had been given
every opportunity to dean up the property. The
abatement had been done February 16, with hand
cutting and a considerable amount of debris removed
from the property, in addition to the discing that
had been done. He presented photographs showing
the property before cleanup, with the man doing
the handwork on February 16, and said that the
inspector's report had stated that the contractor
had cleaned satisfactorily as directed. He stated
that nothing had been disced that was not over-
grown and hazardous and that weeds had grown rapidly
because of the rain.
Council concurred that the property had been a
disgrace for a long time and looked much better
since the abatement, although the weeds had
grown since then.
Councilman McNe111 stated that he had been shown
the property and did not think the property
should have gotten in the condition that it was
in today since February, and that more discing
should have been done. He said there should
be more restriction on the contractor and
inspection after the job was completed. There
was no quarrel with the owner over paying the
fee, but the question was, whether the job
could have been done better.
Councilman White stated that he would encourage
the owners to obtain their own contractors to
clean up their property, as the City could not
be responsible for providing a controlled service.
Councilman Aguilar stated that abatements should
be brought before the Council sooner, rather
than a month and a half later.
Richard Gamble, 4129 Jerry Street, stated that
his brother and his son have contracted this
type of work for twenty-five years. He said
he had piled trash from the premises at 3152
and 3154 Baldwin Park Blvd. because he thought
they were working there rather than down the
street. He said he did not know if couches
had been removed before that day, but that
he could have removed the debris he piled in
one pickup load and that discing had not been
done next to the house where it could become a
fire hazard. He had looked at the property
the day after the job was done. The rear
of the lot had been disced but not within
30' of the house, and no handwork had been
done. He said he would have done the job
for $75.00 or less and that he had advised
his brother to bid on City jobs.

It was the time and place fixed for a Public Hearing
on the Urban Development Action Grant.
Proper publications had been accomplished.
There were no written protests.
Director of Planning Kilgour referred to information
contained in his staff report relative to the eligi-
bility of the City for an Urban Development Action
Grant from HUD. At a public hearing held on MarQh 23,
1978 the chairmen of the Advisory Commissions, Housing
Authority and Planning Commission, acting as a review
panel, had recommended that the Puente-Merced Redevelop-
ment site and proposed development be considered as the
UDAG application emphasis. The public hearing tonight
was to receive testimony from the audience, after which
the City Council should select a project. He referred
to a listing of possibilities eligible as a project
for UDAG funding and of the factors in support of the
recommendation that the Puente-Merced be selected.
He stated that the action tonight of selecting a project
for the UDAG grant application would be followed by
another public hearing two weeks from tonight to present
to the Council to direct a specific action for applica-
tion. He referred to the Minutes of the Community
Development Citizens Committee, which included their
recommendation that the Puente-Merced project be
selected, and said it was attached to his staff report.
Mayor Blewett declared the public hearing open.
As there was no testimony 1n behalf or in opposition
to the Urban Development Action Grant, Mayor Blewett
declared the public hearing dosed.
Councilman White inquired whether the community
redevelopment site was to be funded from sales tax
anticipated from sales after the operation is built.
Mr. Kilgour stated that economic studies indicate that
the probable way to finance the site was through sales
tax from the proposed project. The grant wilt impact
the funding by cutting down the length of time required
for the pay back of sales tax from the site. The UDAG
grant would be a down payment or seed money on the
project. He stated that the amount of the grant would
depend economically on how they fit in the project,
but confirmed that it looked as though they wi11 have
a successful application, as HUD requires a project
that will benefit the City by providing jobs and have
good leverage of public and private funds. There is
also a signed commitment from a developer ready to go
and the auto agencies wi11 provide permanent jobs within
the City. Spin-off" businesses should result from
the project.

of the Maintenance Yard, but that compliance with the
state law was required. The proposal was for the Staff
to proceed with obtaining sealed bids. A publication
of the Notice Inviting Bids must be made a minimum of
fifteen days before bid opening. Council could set
an adjourned meeting, about April 26, to consider
bids received from the various subcontractors.

Administrative Assistant for Redevelopment Raphiel
stated that after the Redevelopment Agency's action
on March 6 to adopt the Preliminary Redevelopment
Plan, the law required that a Project Area Committee
be formed when a substantial amount of residential
individuals will be relocated. He referred to his
staff report, including a listing of individuals
who had expressed willingness to serve on the
Committee and said it was required that a series
of no more than four Committee meetings be held
to discuss background and progress, owner partici-
pation rules, and to review the Redevelopment Plan
and make recommendations to the Agency if there are
changes. He explained that a majority of property
owners on the list were absentee owners and confirmed
that relocation benefits must be provided to tenants,
businessmen and homeowners in the area. His prepared
listing was representative of the property owners
in that area and were the owners who had expressed
interest in serving on the committee.
Councilman White stated that he had been concerned
that a11 pros" might be on the committee and that
perhaps all things that should be considered might
not be, but felt more comfortable knowing how they
had been selected.
Mr. Raphiel stated that there had been no members
from the Property Owners Association on a formal
committee when the first Puente-Merced Redevelopment
Plan was adopted, as there were on this proposed
committee. He confirmed that everyone who had
asked had been placed on the listing. The Committee
would serve at the discretion of the Council.

Director of Finance Halloway stated that the
City must spend, obligate or appropriate Anti-
recessionary Funds for two payments which had
been received by the City, one for $36,794
and one for $33,902. The $36,794 payment must
be appropriated at this time, which was within
six months of date of receipt; however, the
$33,902 may be appropriated at a later date.

He recommended that Council appropriate the
$36,794 payment to help maintain the Animal
Control Services for the City and that the
$33,902 payment be considered during the
future budget session. He confirmed that
the Animal Control budget was approximately
$50,000 and that the contract with the county
was paid from General Fund monies. Some of
the antirecessionary funds had been used in
the past to help pay Animal Control fees and
providing basic services to the City was a
proper and authorized use for these funds.
He stated that the City could not pay for
any new services that had not already been
provided in the past fiscal year from these
funds. He confirmed that five quarterly
payments of antirecessionary funds had been
received and that they would probably continue for
another couple of years, based upon inflation
and unemployment trends in the United States.
The intent for receiving these funds was
probably to cover impending layoffs, if the
City was ever faced with that.

Director of Planning Kilgour stated that the
Neighborhood Facilities Plan, which encompassed
a General Plan, Zoning Ordinance and Capital
Improvement Plan was being prepared. A citizen's
review process was necessary to satisfy federal
and state requirements for citizen participation,
particulary with the housing element of the
General Plan. The Committee will function as
a study and review board on goals and objectives
on General Plan and land use matters, recommend-
ing action and directing Minutes of their meetings
to the City Council. He said that the committee
should be composed of a cross section of the
community and had been divided into six neighbor-
hoods, boundaries which had been set at the time
of application for Housing Community Development
funds. Representation should be based in pro-
portion to the population of each neighborhood
and had been considered in the compilation of
the membership listing for the Neighborhood
Facilities Plan Citizen Advisory Commission.
He stated that upon adoption of the the Neighbor-
hood Facilities Plan General Plan) by the City
Council, the work of the Advisory Commission will
be considered completed and the Citizens Action
Committee will cease to function. He stated
that Council had received some recommendations
from the Staff for possible membership by members
of the various Advisory Commissions, in relation
to their residence in the various neighborhoods.
He said the Council would determine the membership
of the Committee and that the Staff's recommenda-
tion was that the neighborhoods be kept in pro-
portion as listed.

Mayor Btewett stated that he agreed that the
same people should not serve over and over again.
He suggested that Acting City Manager Sexton
place applications at the disposal of the
audience tonight so that anyone interested
might become involved in serving on various
Commissions in the City and that each Council-
man seek people to come in and fill out applications.
Councilman Aguilar suggested tabling the selection
of the Committee until the next Council meeting.
Mayor Blewett agreed, saying the Council needed
to go on a talent hunt.
Mr. Kitgour stated that Council should take the
time to select a proper committee, as they wanted
good representation. He confirmed that even the

Director of Planning Kilgour stated that a
report had been prepared at the request of
Council relative to the status of house
moving permits. Six permits had been issued
since the adoption of the Ordinance on February 17,
1977. He stated that one project had been completed,
two were incomplete and three were waiting to be
moved and distributed photos among the Council.
He referred to information contained within his
report and alternatives listed in case Council
wished to take action.
Councilman Izelt stated he had looked at the
location on Maine Ave. and where some apartments
were going to E)? ir.oved in fro;' Arcadia, i-le said
they were not going to be a big asset to the
City but were in good condition. The house
on Maine Ave. was chopped up badly but may be
restored; the one on Shady Lawn had been
completed and looked ciood; another was on
an easement where it wilt be difficult to
move a house into; and the tittle frame school-
house was stilt sitting where it had been for
a month or two.
Mr. Kitgour referred to a memo indicating the
actual status of the structures from the Building
Superintendent, which was included with the Staff
Report.
Mayor Btewett inquired whether there had been
any response to the house on Stewart Street
which MacDonald's wanted to give away.
Mr. Kitgour said several people had inquired
about it.
Councilman white stated that they were breaking
up concrete and that there would be more parking.

Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council
Councilman Izell stated that the law against
move-ins had been on the books for years, and
that the Council would not be discussing this
tonight if the law hadn't been changed. He
said that home owners were the ones who usually
tried to get by on a low budget, with the houses
not coming up to standard.
Mayor Blewett said that move-ins served a need,
and that he had sympathy for the first-time
home buyer as it was hard to be able to qualify
financially; however, they should be developed
to a satisfactory standard. He said that
virtually a completed neighborhood had been
moved into the City of Irwindale and they were
very attractive.
Councilman Aguilar inquired whether houses
being moved in must be brought up to Code.
Mr. Kilgour said that basic improvements of
plumbing and electrical must be made, but
that insulation was not required. The inspector
must decide whether the house is basically sound
and had been built to Code.
Mayor Blewett stated that only six permits had
been issued in a year and two months.
Councilman Izell inquired how many had been
completed. He said they were alt still 1n process
Mayor Blewett stated that permits had not been
issued until six months ago, so this was not
unreasonable.
Mayor Blewett said that this had been before the
Council three times and it had been tried
both ways. The Building Department seemed to
be tightening down in order to make the move-ins
into quality developments.
Mr. Kilgour suggested tightening restrictions
by requiring that development be accomplished
by licensed contractors only or people who
specialize in moving structures and relocating
them. This would make it necessary for owner/
buyers to know they needed enough money to
hire a contractor to carry out the project
to completion in a diligent manner.
Councilman White inquired whether Council would
be exceeding their discretion by passing a law
that move-ins were disallowed.
Acting City Attorney Flandrick stated that
he was not aware of any such cases, but that
there might be some court that might upset
this decision.
Councilman White asked whether an Ordinance
could be passed indicating that a licensed
contractor must do the work.
Mr. Flandrick said that this requirement
would not be unreasonable and could be sustained;
however, requirements of this type might be
set up without specifically requiring that a
licensed contractor do the work. This was a

serious health problem in that an unstable

Councilman Izell said he was ready to drop
the moratorium if the rest of the Council
wanted to, but asked that they look at the
move-ins in progress.
Mayor Blewett agreed and suggested that
Council also look at Irwindale's move-in
project across from their City Hall complex.
With concurrence of the Council, the Staff
was directed to come back with ideas on
how to tighten the present Ordinance.

Mayor Blewett suggested a special meeting to
receive a report from Director of Housing
Cunningham on the Tenant Occupancy Ordinance
and have a study session on it, along with
a review of the Andersen Report.
Councilman White complimented Director of
Housing Cunningham on his staff report on
Housing and Code Enforcement and said it
had been outstanding and enlightening.
Council suggested approximately April 26 as
the date for ttie special meeting,

Mayor Blewett invited members of the audience
who might be interested in serving on City
Commissions to pick up applications from
the agenda box, fill them out and return
them to either the City Manager or the
City Clerk's office.
Councilman Aguilar requested that every
Councilman receive copies of applications
as they are received so that they might
contact the interested persons.

would be directed to the City Manager's office
and copies would be made for the Council.

Mayor Blewett stated that he would declare
an Executive Session after Oral Communications
to discuss Meet and Confer. He said the
law required that the Council negotiate with
employees on their salary increases. Another
personnel matter would also be discussed.

Councilman White said that the Council acts
on everything on the agenda before the people
are allowed to talk to them and that there
may be items other than the public hearings
that they have objections to. He asked if

Councilman Aguitar stated that Oral Communications
was at the beginning of the agenda in the past and
it prevented business frors being conducted until
Oral Communications was over.
Councilman white suggested asking if anyone
wished to speak to any item on the agenda before
the Council took action on it.
Mayor Blewett suggested that reports from each
Councilman who had attended other council meetings
from other cities could be discussed so that this
Council might perfect the agenda, rather than
make any changes at this time. He said that
the special meeting would be to discuss a
variety of subjects not on a regular agenda.

Dwaine Glass, 14345 E. Garvey, stated that someone
at the Planning Commission Meeting had been held
off on a lot split on relocating a house. He
asked how the Council's decision to ask for more
study on ideas to tighten up the house moving
standards would affect several people who are
in the process of moving houses. He asked if
they would be stopped or exempt.
Mayor Blewett stated that if they had a permit,
they would have a right to finish what they were
granted.
Councilman White explained that the Council had
left everything as it was and had not changed
anything tonight.
Mr. Glass stated that the Planning Commission
did not like move-in houses and given any
reason not to act on a piece of property that
was about to accommodate a move-in house, would
forestall any action until the Council had
given their opinion.
Mayor Blewett stated that the opinion of the
Council was that the Planning Commission should
proceed, if everything met the criteria.
Mr. Glass said the Planning Commission had held
off on the lot split because the Council had ruled
that the house as j0in[- to be moved on to a lot that
as to be created, although the person m this instance
had met all other criteria. He said he felt he
should be allowed to have his lot split approved
while waiting for Council decision.

Director of Finance Halloway said that Council met
every two weeks and that the bills to be paid
must be received at least one week in advance of
the Council Meeting in order to be processed and
put in the agenda packets by Friday afternoon.
Mayor Blewett inquired whether Mr. Fuentes could
be paid his permit refund from out of the Revolving
Fund.
Acting City Flandrick explained that Council could
authorize a warrant to be added to the Claims
and Demands Resolution.
Councilman White inquired whether Staff could
automatically handle this without having to
wait this long.
Mr. Halloway stated that State law required that
the City Council approve all Warrants, but that
there was a Revolving checking account for the
payment of small items which could be used for
making this refund.
Mayor Blewett confirmed that this was not a
recurring problem.

Mr. Fuentes stated that the City inspector who
inspected his concrete slab to see that the
work was up to Code did not protect him from
the job done by the contractor.
Mayor Blewett stated that the Council was not
a consumer protection agency and that the
City's charge was only that the work had been
done properly. He suggested that Mr. Fuentes
contact the Contractors State License Board
in El Monte with his grievance after making
a written demand to his contractor for redress.
Mr. Halloway stated that Warrant No. 10294
should be used for payment to Mr. Fuentes.
City Treasurer Montenegro stated that a
contractor had been directed to correct
work done on their house when it did not
meet the Code. This had been done for
their protection.
Councilman White stated that the soundness
and safety of the structure and health of
the occupants were what the inspector was
involved with, but not appearances. That
was in an area of private agreements and
was not the job of the Council.

stated that the California Association of the
Physically Handicapped had requested the presence
of someone from the City Council at a meeting
and dinner April 10, 6:30 p.m. at Howard Johnson's
Restaurant to help form Chapter 40 in Baldwin Park
He stated that he had received information from

Jean Barnes, 13062 Amar Road, read a statement
asking that Council consider a11 possibilities
to help save the City Halt building, which
was once the old Central School, from demolition,
and of restoring it for use in the education and
cultural exchange for the community. She stated
that there were funds available to aid in the
restoration of historic sites, and this building
had been designated as such by the State of
California. She suggested modification of
the building and listed the possibilities for
its use, including a museum with display of
local arts and craft and possibly the loan of
large collections from the Los Angeles County
Museum of Natural History. These programs
could be correlated with programs of the Baldwin
Park School District. One central building
should house a permanent collection of antiques
and memoribitia representing the City of Baldwin
Park so that everyone may share in looking at
them. She established her credibility and
explained that her interest and awareness of
the concern of citizens had happened after
being requested by the Editor of the Pomona
Valley Historical Quarterly to do research
on the history of Baldwin Park and to write
and article for the Quarterly. She said
she had incorporated two independent studies,
an oral history and geographic history of
Baldwin Park, into her schoolwork as a
student at Pitzer College in Ctaremont,
hopefully laying the foundation for a
history book on Baldwin Park, She stated
that she had been totd by a Board Member relative
to the California Preservation Act that the
Environmental Impact Report was questionable
regarding the historical significance of the
building; therefore the EDA and California
Historic Preservation Commission had re-
considered that portion. She stated that
she had no political affiliation and did
not belong to any groups in the City of
Baldwin Park and wished to take exception
to a remark made to her by an employee of
City Hall at a City Hall Meeting and witnessed
by a number of people, suggesting that there
was a conspiracy on the part of those wanting
to save City Ha11. She stated that she would
be forced to take action if Mr. Cunningham
again cast aspersions on her integrity as
her activities had been well documented.
She said she recognized the historical signif-
icance of the building and this had been
substantiated by the State of California.

She stated that this building represented an
era that possibly had the greatest community
spirit, from 1910 through the 1940's. She
had received applause from students at De Anza
School for her presentation on the history of
Baldwin Park and said she believed this was
the most constructive method in helping young
people to appreciate their environment and
that the adults in Baldwin Park could team
appreciation of the history of their community
from these youngsters. She stated that she
had given a copy of the map to Robert Weiss
Carr, associate planner of Wallace, McCarg,
Roberts and Todd, who had been hired by the
City of Baldwin Park, to aid him in his work
and benefit Baldwin Park. She asked the
consideration of the Council in restoring

James Gregg, President of Baldwin Park Welfare
Rights Organization, asked how many senior
citizens owned homes in Baldwin Park and
what their average incomes were. He stated
that most were incapable of making the
required payments on current home improvement
programs and asked the City Council to approve
a free home improvement plan for senior citizens
in the City. He quoted statistics from the 1970
Census relative to poverty levels in the City
and listed his affiliations from which he said
he gleaned his information. He referred to
the Jarvis-Sann Amendment and the effect it
would have upon cities and legal offices, if
passed. He said that legal services were
not being provided even now, before passage
of the amendment and s^atsd that one issue
dealt with cutting off 26,000 people from
Medicaid for those in convalescent homes.
He said that President Carter intended to
use the CETA program to help with his welfare
reform package but that with the cutbacks
it wouldn't help much. He recounted an
incident where a person not receiving Social
Security had received an overpayment for
$15,000 through clerical errors in the
Social Security Department. He said the Baldwin
Park Welfare Rights helped with those kinds of
problems and that he was well equipped through
his affiliations. He gave senior citizens
fact sheets to Council.

Tom Ktein, 12800 Salisbury, stated that
the tow interest home improvement loan
program was a fine program, as the repaid
money would be used over and over again
and provisions have been made that those
who are unable to pay their loan may have
their payment defrayed until their property
is sold. He said that this particular
program had been the most highly rated
program at a HuD-sponsored seminar and
that the trust established by this program
would help a11 people in the City because
it would bring their neighborhood up.

Joseph Lee, 4922 Bleecker, spoke in defense of
the house move-in program in Baldwin Park. He
said that he knew of ten or fifteen move-ins
over the years and that they all appeared as
if the house had originally existed there.
He stated that a house was inspected to see
that the foundation, sewer tine, gas and
water lines and everything required are up
to Code before the house is lowered. Pictures
were taken before and after. He said he didn't
feel that the present Code could be improved on
by asking the move-on homeowner to hire a
contractor in order to move in a house. He
asked that the Council give good consideration
to the present Ordinance, as the Planning
Commission, inspectors and home owners were
doing an excellent job.

HDD monies and that the poverty level families
probably can not make payments on low income
loans.

Myrtle Asquith, 13138 E. Judith, stated
that she had inquired about a low interest improvement
loan for a client of hers and had been told
that they were handled through the county.
Mayor Blewett stated that Mr. Cunningham would
help her with information. He explained that
there were low interest loans, but if people
couldn't make their payments the City did not
foreclose on their homes but received their
money back when the house was sold.
Councilman Izetl stated that he had been in the
office when Mrs. Azquith was there, and said
that she had been told about $600 free money
that did not have to be paid back and given
a telephone number to call.
She said their names and phone numbers had
been taken and they were told that someone
would contact them. Her client wanted money
that she would pay back. She said senior citizens
had been independent a11 their lives and don't
want their independence taken away from them.

Mary Gathron, 3148 Syracuse, said that Ginnie's
Trailer Court around the corner from her was
an eyesore and asked what would be done about it.
Mayor Btewett stated that a public hearing had
been held and that her Conditional Use Permit
had been revoked and the County of Los Angeles
was in the process of taking criminal action
against her for health violations. Her trailer
court had been declared a public nuisance, but her
attorney was appealing it in court. He said
if the court rendered a decision in the City's
favor, the public nuisance would be abated but

Councilman Izetl stated that he had talked to
the City Attorney about a street problem and
to the Recreation and Parks Director before
the election about something for the youth and
Little Leagues and wanted the permission of
the Council to pursue it further.
Mayor Blewett stated that Little Leagues had
always borne the burden of being self-supporting
and that the City may be facing the loss of
revenues as high as $800,000. He said that
he personally preferred to provide in-kind
services to the Little League rather than cash,
and hoped that Councilman Izett would guide
them in this direction.
Councilman White said that he had found in
his involvement with Little League groups
that most of them pride themselves on the
fact that they are completely self-supporting.
The schools gave them sites to play on and
the Recreation and Parks Commission conducted
training programs for umpires and coaches.
Councilman Izett said he had attended the
East San Gabriel Planning Commission dinner
and the El Monte City Council meeting. He
referred to notes made during the Council Meeting
Mayor Blewett stated that the Council would
compare notes after they had a11 attended their
various Council Meetings to see how the City
Council Meetings could be improved.
Councilman Izett stated that a new City Manager
had been appointed and that now he would tike
to pursue getting the staff up to date and
taking care of the problems the Council had been
elected to take care of.

Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council
Councilman Ize11 stated that he would like to
have Council place a 90-day moratorium on move-ins
until Council could reach a conclusion on them.
Mayor Btewett said he was not in favor of
moratoriums and asked Mr. Kilgour what the
problems were with move-ins.
Mr. Kilgour stated that Staff had implemented
a procedure and was carrying it out well. He
said there were no problems with buildings re-
located on the same site, as the concerned
property owner did a professional job, but
as with the frame school house, sometimes
with an owner/builder they have to foreclose
on the bond or declare it a nuisance.
Councilman White inquired whether standards
could be set and insured on move-in properties.
Mr. Kilgour said that some cities have de-
clared certain standards on age of structure
and architectural theme, with a special permit
required and review by a Planning Commission or
City Council or architectural committee, based
upon a pictorial presentation before the Board.
Sometimes it was still necessary to foreclose
because the owner/builder had under-capitalized.
He confirmed that standards could be established
and maintained by the City. It would probably
increase the cost because of the qualifications
that must be met but could be done by surety
bonds.
Mayor Blewett suggested changing the surety
bond to a cash bond, as this might spur them
on to faster completion.
Mr. Kitgour said he could check to see if this
would have an effect. He confirmed that presently
the City is operating under general construction
ordinances, with a building inspector checking
to see if the structure is sound, writing up
corrections and then inspecting it again after
it has been moved for additional corrections.
It is re-inspected as the work progresses after
being relocated on its foundation, but there
were no limitations or standards otherwise.
Councilman White stated that he would be inclined
to support a moratorium also, although he did
not like moratoriums.
Councilman Ize11 inquired how long move-ins
had been allowed in the City.
Mr. Kilgour said, since February 1977.
Councilman Ize11 referred to the MacDonatd house
and stated that he would not like to see it or
any other 50-year old house moved, as they
would not be as good as a new house.
Councilman White said it would seem arbitrary
to refuse to let houses be moved, but that it
should be kept at standards that the Council
and Baldwin Park would be pleased with.
