The City's responsibilities will be to provide inspections of the rehabilitation and monitoring of the program. There have been difficulties in the past with lenders providing loans in Baldwin Park. There will be 6-month's trial period for lenders working in this area and if they do not perform and provide loans, CHFA will replace them with lenders who are willing to make loans. He said he strongly recommended participating in the CHFA program as it will assist citizens with moderate and upper level income, which the low interest loan program was prohibited from doing. Councilman Izetl asked how refinancing would help the City and individuals. Mr. Cunningham stated that refinancing would help the individuals while the rehabilitation and refinancing will upgrade housing and allow individuals to consolidate their'debts and payments and proceed with loans at a lower rate of interest. Refinancing can be accomplished without upgrading.

He stated that he believed that Proposition 13 contained too many ambiguities and would cause too many lawsuits and cost the taxpayers money and that Proposition 8 would serve the purpose for the time being until the legislators prepare a fair bill. Councilman White said he agreed that Proposition 13 was a faulty piece of legislation and that it would bring lawsuits and other troubles, while Proposition 8 would be a wiser solution. He said that the people, however, had shown that they wanted to decide on Proposition 13 themselves and that he was not in favor of the Council attempt- ing to assert its will on the people, even if the Council could be in full agreement enough to take a position on it. Councilman Izetl stated that he was personalty voting for Proposition 13 but did not feet the Council should take a position on it. Councilman Aguitar said that people were tired of taxpayer's money being wasted and the mis- management of money by the County officials. There was talk of cutting services but not of Supervisors cutting employees or their big expense accounts. He said he was endorsing Proposition 13 as a City Councilman. Councilman McNeill said that all Councilmen should state whether or not they are in favor of Proposition 13 and attempt to help the people in their decision, as they do not a11 have the time to attend seminars and read information on both initiatives. He stated they would be shirking their duties as City Councilmen if they did not try to inform the people. Mayor Btewett stated that he had a split opinion on the two bills and was still studying them. He stated that the Jarvis-Gann initiative motivation was high principled but was attacking local government rather than state and federal government where most of the waste occurred. He proposed that Council defer taking a stand on the matter for 30 days, after which he would have made up his mind. There was a split vote at present among the Council. Councilman McNeilt was in favor of giving each Councilman another 30 days. ilayor Ble'.'ett proposed bringing the Jarvis-Gann Initiative back for discussion at the lia^- 17 meeting Councilmen Aguilar and Izetl stated that they objected to bringing it back on.

Right now, with this action, you are telling the people to go to he11. That's the truth. Period. You are showing favoritism to a certain person that after her term is up, nobody else can have that for the same amount of money. The City Clerk's position is going to be $300 like it always was. That's not right. Listen to the wilt of the people in June. Let them decide. Then if they decide to make it a permanent position, let them then we could just set the salary. And what would happen if they say, no, they don't want the City Clerk as a permanent position? Are you continued) April 19, 1978 Page 8 ADJOURN TO EXEC.

Two or three times she assumed the position of Acting City Manager when something happened to the person that was serving as City Manager. She's been a hard working person. At one time she was working at two positions, and she was working and doing several jobs within the City. She has been a dedicated employee and I think it is only right that dedicated employees be treated in a fair manner. I think she is an extraordinary person that has done an extraordinary job for the City and there were some people that felt strongly that they wanted to punish Mrs. Balkus I think for some of her political beliefs in the past. And this is kind of an old wound and they had that opportunity when they had power in the City and they did that. But I think the people in this community spoke and a lot of us spoke because they respect and admire this person for the work that she has done and the dedication that she has provided to the people of this community.

Councilman Izetl inquired whether it was necessary to have a vote or whether one Councilman could request verbatim Minutes. Mayor Btewett stated that one Councilman could ask for it and the request wilt be honored. Councilman Izell stated he would tike to see the Minutes shortened, as it wasted time to prepare long Minutes and for him to go back and read them. It would be better to just have what realty happened. Mayor Btewett said this subject had been discussed before with the Council and that his position was to allow the Clerk to handle the Minutes as she saw fit while complying with the law. Councilman McNeill stated that he had been in favor of the City Clerk receiving additional pay so that she might have ample time to do the work she was supposed to do. He said he did not want anything left out of the Minutes or misinterpreted. Everything should be re- ported in the Minutes and Councitmen should read them. City Clerk Balkus stated that it was within the discretion of the Council whether the Minutes should be long or short. She said they were much shorter than they were. There had been verbatim on the Igna hearing. Councilman Aguilar said that the way the Minutes were now was perfect and that any Councilmen should be able to request that an issue be verbatim.

He stated they were request- ing cooperation and support as well as approval that the City provide for four police officers to supervise the activities. 00- Jesse Sanchez, President of M.E.CH.A. at the High School, stated that they had asked other organizations to help them as this was their first Cinco de Mayo celebration. He said their budget was low and help was needed with security. Mayor Blewett inquired whether there would be a charge to attend the dances. Mr. Velasquez stated there would be a charge to cover the expense of the band and any money left over would be applied toward a scholarship for the High School as they were a non-profit organization. The dances wilt be held at the Morgan Park Community Building. He stated that they had met with the Chamber of Commerce relative to their Cinco de Mayo celebration. The Chamber was more business oriented and would have preferred to hold it in front of businesses rather than at Morgan Park. He said the dates and entertainment had alt been confirmed and that everything else had been donated at this point. There would be some things they will have to pay for. Councilman Aguitar stated that Morgan Park closes at 10 P.M. and inquired whether they had asked for a later hour. Mr. Velasquez said that 12 o'clock had been approved Councilman Aguilar asked Chief of Police Chellino what the cost would be for four police officers as requested. Chief Chellino stated there would be an overtime charge for regular police officers for Friday and Saturday, a time when they were usually fully committed. Director of Finance Halloway stated that the cost for four officers per hour would be $60.00. Councilman McNeill inquired about the use of cadets and reserve officers. Chief Chellino stated that the Police Department does have cadets and reserve officers, but a reserve officer along with a regular officer would probably be paired for security use. He said they would be talking about cost of security for two days until midnight, Councilman McNeill inquired whether four officers would be sufficient. Chief Chellino said that it depended upon the size of the crowd. 00- Aprit 19. 1978 Page 12 FRANK ZARATE RE COUNCIL SUPPORT FOR CINCO DE MAYO JESSE SANCHEZ RE COUNCIL SUPPORT FOR CINCO DE MAYO BIB] 37656-U01 1978-U02 04-U02 19-U02 CC-U02 MIN-U02 LI1-U03 FO9591-U03 FO9594-U03 DO9673-U03 C4-U03 MINUTES1-U03 2/4/2003-U04 ROBIN-U04 REGULAR-U05 SESSION-U05 CITY-U06 COUNCIL-U06 1978 04 19 CC MIN ;¢f4 È © Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council April 19. 1978 Page 13 Councilman White inquired whether Chief Chetlino had been included in the planning up until now. Chief Chettino stated that he had not been included. City Manager Sexton said that the rate for pairing regular officers with reserve officers on overtime would be approximately $40.00 per hour. Mr. Velazquez stated that they were in the process of asking for volunteer officers and that Officer Martinez had already said that he would volunteer. They were asking that security be provided in case they were not able to get four volunteers. He stated that the requirements of the Recreation & Parks Department were that one dance will be for teens and one dance for adults, which meant that security would only be required for four hours on Friday. City Manager Sexton stated that the City would incur a certain liability by officers volunteering services to the City. Acting City Attorney Handrick agreed. Councilman Izell inquired whether the Police Department automatically furnished security when there was a dance. Mayor Blewett answered in the negative. Councilman Izell stated that if something went wrong, the Police Department would surely be called. Chief Chetlino said they would respond. Director of Finance Halloway stated that there were Ordinances which require that some kind of security be provided at dances, although it was not stipulated they must be police officers. Director of Recreation & Parks Lucas stated that the applications for dance permits had been brought in only this afternoon and the permits had not yet been seen by the police officers who issue the permits. He said his office only makes the building available. Councilman McNeHI stated that he had met with M.E.CH.A. and found the young people involved and enthused over the celebration of Cinco de Mayo. He said he believed the Council would be doing a good service by approving funding for protection of the citizens by the police. Councilman Aguilar stated that since the City would be liable for donated police services, they should honor the request for police protection and waive the permit fees. Councilman McNeilt asked how much permit fees would be. Councilman Aguilar said, about $30.00. Mayor Blewett asked Mr. Lucas if it was the policy of the City to waive permit fees.

He said the City had not been asked to co-sponsor this affair but if all receipts at the gate were returned to the City, it would be reasonable for the City to consider co-sponsorship. He said the City had co-sponsored events in the past where there were no funds raised and fees had been waived. Mayor Blewett asked how they could differentiate between this group and, for example, the band group at Baldwin Park High School which was attempting to raise funds and have something at Morgan Park to raise funds. Mr. Lucas stated that if there were no funds» there was no gift of public funds and that the band group was not asking for co-sponsorship because they would be taking a financial benefit from the program. Mayor Blewett asked if the group in question planned to take away zero" money. Mr. Lucas said that he had stated that this was a possible solution. Councilman White stated that that particular solution would also facilitate deploying on-duty police officers. Councilman Izell stated that he was of the opinion that if the Chief of Police issued a dance permit, that he was obligated to protect the dance. Councilman White stated that the Chief was obligated to protect the entire City at all times, but that he would not normally assign policemen at locations to do that for private affairs. He said large dances are the kind of affairs that are known for having caused trouble and that the purpose was preventative patrols. Part of regulation was insuring that the agency sponsoring the dance has adequate security to prpvent this kind of activity as opposed to having the police come to repress it after it happens. This was the purpose of the regulation and the pre-police deployment. Mayor Blewett stated that the Code normally required that the function supply security. Chief Chellino stated that there were restrictions, before the permit was issued, that security be provided. Councilman Aguilar asked City Manager Sexton if Council had not waived permit fees when the Youth Activities Advisory Commission had requested it when they held their car wash. Mr. Sexton asked Mr. Lucas if the car wash had been sponsored by the City. Mr. Lucas stated that permits had been approved for various car washes held in the Morgan Park parking lot, while others were held in parking lots across the street. He said he believed the Youth Commission's car wash had been approved by the Police Department and did not know what Council's action was. continued) BIB] 37656-U01 1978-U02 04-U02 19-U02 CC-U02 MIN-U02 LI1-U03 FO9591-U03 FO9594-U03 DO9673-U03 C4-U03 MINUTES1-U03 2/4/2003-U04 ROBIN-U04 REGULAR-U05 SESSION-U05 CITY-U06 COUNCIL-U06 1978 04 19 CC MIN ;¢f4 È © Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council 1978 April 19, Page 16 Gloria Zook, President of Baldwin Park Braves Band Boosters, stated that she originally had intended to ask the Council to stop by Morgan Park between Friday night at 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. Saturday morning to hear their band marathon, which was to raise funds for their trip to National City. She stated that she had been told, no, when she had asked Mr. Lucas for a waiver of fees, because although no money will change hands there, the students are taking pledges for per hour of playing. She said there were all cultures in the band and that if the City wants to waive fees for this one group, she felt the $68 fee must be waived that the band must pay Friday night. Mr. Flandrick stated that he had been referring to fees for dances, Councilman McNeill asked why the fee for a band marathon was so high. Mrs. Zook said that the charge was for Park personnel and for the permit to use the building and that she was not complaining because the Parks staff and Police Department had a11 done everything they could. Councilman McNeill asked if this was the same fee as for the dance. Mr. Lucas said that the same basic fees apply for the building rental and overtime for personnel. The Cinco de Mayo group had just filed their application this afternoon and their permit had not been processed yet for the dance. They have not asked for a waiver of the rental fees and will pay it themselves. Mr. Velasquez stated that the only cost they could not cover was for police protection. Mr. Flandrick said that the matter at issue was police protection and that this was committed to the discretion of the City Manager unless Council decided to make it a City-sponsored event and have the City bear the cost. Councilmen McNeill and Aguilar were in favor of making it a City-sponsored event and providing police protection. Mr. Velasquez inquired whether the City wished to co-sponsor the whole event or the two dances. He stated that they were just asking for police protection for one particular event. They would be unable to make money for the scholarship fund if the City co-sponsored it, because they would not be allowed to charge. Council concurred that City Manager Sexton would investigate the alternatives and that Council would make a decision on the matter at the adjourned City Council Meeting on April 26. 00- GLORIA ZOOK RE WAIVER OF OF FEES FOR B.

Mr. Velasquez proposed that the City Council consider establishing a policy that police be sent to any type of activity done by agencies of the City that would benefit the community and that were non-profit organizations. He said that when non-profit groups must pay fees in order to put something on, they don't do it. Councilman White stated that philosophically this thinking merited approval but that it would be impossible for the Police Department to deploy to all the non-profit organizations which include churches, Womens' Clubs, Little Leagues, football leagues, etc. Mr. Velasquez said that the policy should be established for the agencies who specifically come and ask that the service be provided. Some agencies may not require or seek it. Mayor Blewett stated that he would not want to make a general policy like this, but that the Council could make special exceptions. He stated that the schools pay for security at their football games, even though it was a worthy endeavor. Acting City Attorney Flandrick clarified that if the two applications, one for teenagers dance and one for adult public dance, are made by the organizations, the Code provides that there will be no filing and processing fee involved because they are exempt from the City Business License provisions. He stated that the City Manager had the authority under the Code to waive the police protection if he finds that good cause exists. This could be done if there were sufficient officers volunteering. The alternative would be, if the City wished to sponsor either or both dances, for it to be a City activity with no fees other than the Council may direct. James Gregg, President of Baldwin Park Welfare Rights, stated that he wholeheartedly favored the request made by the organizations and that he thought money from block grants might be used toward it. Cinco de Mayo celebration would help to bring people together and give a better understanding of the various cultures of the Latin race. He said the Welfare Department had spent $84,000 last year on cultural awareness. Councilman Aguitar asked for further clarification on what was meant by a City-sponsored event and whether it meant there would be no admission fee. Acting City Attorney Flandrick said that if the City wished to sponsor either or both dances, they would become Recreation & Parks Department functions and be conducted without charge to the organizations involved. If it was a co- sponsoring situation such as Mr. Lucas had suggested, and a charge was made at the door for the cost a that /ould be fine. If they do it on their own, there will be some cost. continued) JAMES GREGG IN FAVOR OF GRANTING REQUEST BIB] 37656-U01 1978-U02 04-U02 19-U02 CC-U02 MIN-U02 LI1-U03 FO9591-U03 FO9594-U03 DO9673-U03 C4-U03 MINUTES1-U03 2/4/2003-U04 ROBIN-U04 REGULAR-U05 SESSION-U05 CITY-U06 COUNCIL-U06 1978 04 19 CC MIN ;¢f4 È © Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council April 19» 1978 Page 17 Nathine Waldo, 4635 N. Bogart Mayor, Councitmen I have three or four questions I'd like to have answered and I'd like to have them answered by Mr. Blewett after Oral Communications is over. Regarding the last item on the Agenda I'd tike to know if this position was open and if it had been advertised as being an open position or was it just re-created? If the job was just created, it seems that it is also a part-time position since the City Clerk already has a position. I am sure that if it had been advertised that you needed an Administrative Aide with the proper qualifi- cations, that you could have hired a part-time worker for $15,827 a year. Isn't this also a conflict of interest, where someone has to wear t"/o hats in the City? Are they serving the public or serving the City? Who is paying the higher salary? It is interesting that this term is going to terminate on February 28, 1970 1980). Isn't this just a week before the election of the City Clerk? I would like to know also, since it is going to be on the ballot in June, why didn't you wait until then or at least just make this until the end of June? Mayor Btewett May I answer you? Mrs. Waldo Thank you. Mayor Blewett I'd like to. Mrs. Waldo I think it was usual that you waited until after it was completely over but I'd like to have an answer now if you can. Mayor Blewett Well, we changed a lot of things around here, Mrs. Waldo. One of first of a11, we didn't create a new position. We just expanded the duties of the City Clerk's position. Of course that is an elected position by the electorate of Baldwin Park and we ex- panded that position. What was your second question? Mrs, Waldo Well, the second question was that if you had advertised that you needed an Administrative Aide Mayor Blewett We didn't. Mrs. Waldo with proper qualifications? Mayor Blewett We didn't, of course we didn't Mrs. Waldo It is usual for a City to advertise Mayor Blewett Of course we didn't create an additional position so that answers the second question. Mrs. Waldo Well, you didn't have an Administrative Aide before, right? Mayor Blewett We don't have an Administrative Aide now. Mrs. Waldo What was she appointed to? Mayor Blewett We expanded the duties of the City Clerk's office. Mrs. Waldo Isn't the salary usually set by law?

Mrs. Waldo And I asked why it doesn't expire until February 28, 1980, just approximately a week before the election? Mayor Blewett Why did we do that? Mrs. Waldo Urn, hum. Mayor Btewett Because it is our feeling, and I think that's a majority feeling of the Council, that we have an extraordinary person and an extraordinary situation, and that person intends to not seek reetection and at that time we are not we are going to at that time the ordinance the position will revert back to what it has been, a part-time position. The Clerk's duties will be diminished as well as the salary. Mrs. Waldo So then you won't have someone doing these extra duties at $15,827 a year, is that correct? Mayor Btewett That's correct. Mrs. Waldo Then it was just created for one person? Mayor Blewett Unless the Council at that time so decides to do that. Mrs. Waldo I also understood that it was on the ballot in June. Mayor Blewett That is correct. Mrs. Waldo Why couldn't this just have been done through that month and then let the people take care of it from that point on? Mayor Blewett Well, the people certainly are going to have an option in making the position appointive or making it elective at that time. And the Council felt that they didn't want to wait. Mrs. Waldo Thank you very much, Mr. Blewett. Councilman White That other election won't be held until two years after June. Mayor Blewett That's right. If the people so decide to make the position appointive, that change would not be made until the 1980 election. Mrs. Waldo I think you have answered my question. In other words, after 1980 this probably won't be a position open. Thank you. Councilman Aguitar Question if the people of Baldwin Park say they do not want a full-time City Clerk, what are we going to do then? Mayor Blewett That isn't the question on the ballot.

Probably there are as many ways of handling it as there are cities and we are selecting one method that is ysed in other cities, too, where they have a full-time elected City Clerk who receives a rather, you know, appropriate salary. The duties well, I know that I know none of us, as you well know, would perform the duties that the Clerk is required to perform and the time that she is required to put in for that amount of money. It is, you know it's a very ironic thing that she has people that work for her that make two-and-a-half and three times as much money as she does. Okay, Mrs. Zook Gloria Zook, 4817 N. La Rica About a year ago, I had the opportunity of walking the streets of Baldwin Park, and I believe I was asked at about every other house about why we couldn't do some- thing for our Clerk, Our Clerk was making a low salary $300 a month not commensurate with her duties at all. I think you have done a wonderful action. But I would like to remind people that this is not the first time jobs have been created. We have a Public Relations Officer that was created that position was also created and favorites were played. I do not believe that job was advertised.

Say, no> we don't care what you say, she's still going to get the $15,000? Where at is the word democracy in this country? Let the people let's hear what the people say on June 6. Let them decide. That is your own statement, Mr. White. Listen to the will of the people. You said that about twenty minutes ago. And with that, Madame Clerk, roll call. please. Councilman White Rebuttal, Mr. Mayor, please. Mayor Blewett Mr. White, Councilman White Mr. Aguilar, I think that basically and I understand clearly what you are saying and I acknowledge saying, listen to the will of the people. I believe clearly here that I am listening to the will of the people of Baldwin Park. I think certainly that the measure can be decided by the people in June and I agree that it should be. I don't endorse that particular change in our process, but I do agree that it is up to the people to decide. However, I don't think that we should ask a person that has been loyal to this City for many. many years to be deprived of a fair wage while that issue is being decided and for that reason I made this motion tonight. I don't think we are doing I don't think we are giving anyone anything. I don't think we are being unfair with anyone. I think we are applying a special solution to a very unique and special problem and I acknowledge that it is not the soundest administration. However, this is a motion with a terminal date on it, which is February 22nd, 1980. It is acknowledging that a situation has existed in the City for a long time and I again reiterate my motion. Councilman Aguilar I agree with you, sir, that this situation has been going on in the City for a long time and the main reason it is still going is because of favoritism for a certain person. I agree that Mrs. Balkus has done a lot for the City. I can see where there has been a lot of good people in the City that have done just as good as Mrs. Balkus. Then why don't we give them money and make it a fair issue? The issue of $15,000 is not it. It is just that it shows favoritism and like you say yourself that the $15,000 wage is going to finish in March of 1980 February of 1980 and after that if somebody else decides to run for City Clerk they won't have the opportunity to make the $15,000 a year. That's not right. You don*t care which way you think or to make I don't care which way you turn to make it legal or to sound legal, it is 100 percent favoritism and you are still telling the people, we don't care what you decide June 6, we are going to do this now and that's it. Take it or leave it. Take it or leave it that's what you are telling the people of Baldwin Park. Mayor Blewett I just have one brief comment. Yes, I think it probably is showing a degree of favoritism. You know Mrs. Balkus has favored the City of Baldwin Park for a number of years. continued) BIB] 37656-U01 1978-U02 04-U02 19-U02 CC-U02 MIN-U02 LI1-U03 FO9591-U03 FO9594-U03 DO9673-U03 C4-U03 MINUTES1-U03 2/4/2003-U04 ROBIN-U04 REGULAR-U05 SESSION-U05 CITY-U06 COUNCIL-U06
