Pacific Avenue MONDAY, JULY 2, 1979 AT 7:30 P.M. The City Council of the City of Baldwin Park met in regular session in the Council Chambers at 7:30 p.m. 00" An invocation was given by Councilman Izelt. Mrs. Thelma Balkus led the salute to the flag. Roll Call: Present: COUNCILMAN AGUILAR, IZELL, KING MC NEILL AND MAYOR WHITE Also Present: CITY MANAGER SEXTON, CITY ATTORNEY FLANDRICK, DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOP. KELLY, DIRECTOR OF ADM. SERVICES HALLOWAY, CHIEF OF POLICE CHELLINO, DIRECTOR OF HUMAN SERVICES LUCAS AND CITY CLERK BALKUS Absent: CITY TREASURER MONTENEGRO 00- The City Council met at 7:30 p.m. and Mayor White called the meeting to order at 7:35 p.m., stating that Council would study and adopt the Budget and consider the Unfininshed Business of June 20, 1979, and Resolutions concerning Personnel rules and related matters. After discussion an Executive Session would be held to discuss negotiation and personnel matters. He said Council action would not take place until after an Executive Session. Mr. Sexton reviewed the 1979/80 Proposed Budget Message presented June 20, 1979. He said this was essentially a Maintenance Budget. The Public Hearing requirements on Revenue Sharing and the Budget have been met. He recommended an appropriation of $5,429,517, an increase of 5.4% over last years budget. This includes raises for almost a11 employees. It was recommended that the City absorb 22 CETA positions and delete 21 full time CETA positions of which 15 positions are currently vacant. The changes recommended in the program budget are the addition of a bookkeeper for Housing and Economic Development, a Zoning Enforcement Officer, Maintenance of Median Islands and a Crisis Intervention Program for the Police Department. In answer to Councilman King, Mr. Sexton said the Crisis Intervention Program was for all sworn personnel. Councilman King questioned whether all these people should participate and suggested a limited number participate and relay this knowledge to other personnel. Mayor White recalled a crisis situation with wedding parties where some officers lacked perhaps some training that is avail- able. This training would make it possible for an officer to better handle with more sensitivity these situations with a better understanding where there is drinking, etc. This was recommended by the Chief following the inquiry and he felt the $13,000 for the program was not to costly. He felt alt the officers should have the benefit of this program. Chief Chellino concurred with Mayor White and urged training for all the Officers.

Mr. Sexton explained that half of the $13,000 training program will be reimbursed by the Police Officers Standard Training Institute. Training will be at Rio Hondo College. In answer to Councilman Aguilar, Mr. Hatloway did not recommend use of former police vehicles for Community Development page 60) These vehicles show an average of over 50,000 to 60,000 miles and the repairs do not make retaining them economically feasible. Councilman Aguilar suggested that the Chief have a staff car as he is on call 24 hours. Mr. Sexton said there was a choice, either mileage allowance or a staff car. Councilman Me Neill said that possibly the Code enforcement officer should be included in the Crisis Intervention Training and Mayor White explained that the specialized program was only for sworn badge personnel, however the enforcement officer should have a good background and good public relations. Mr. Kelly said there would be an educational training program for an enforcement officer. 00- Mayor White said that regarding Revenue Sharing the City Manager had recommended $60,000 for the Chamber of Commerce; $30,000 for the Boys Club; and $12,000 for Mid-Valley Mental Health. He said hopefully the $30,000 and $12,000 would be grant type funds. Possibly the $60,000 will be reduced to $58,000 under the AB103 program. NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH REVENUE SHARING ALLOCATIONS Councilman Me Neill favored an increase he said that the consortium may relieve by the City. This would leave money in for the Boys Club; also funding in its entirety the budget. BOYS CLUB ALLOCATION Mr. Sexton said that under the Boys Club contract, if they receive other funding this would automatically replace City funds. Boys Club and Mid-Valley would be eligible under the Community based organizations. Councilman Aguilar said the Boys Club does have an effective service and they receive in kind service such as free rent, which is more than $2,000 a year. Discussion followed. Councilman Me Neill said this was revenue sharing money and that when volunteers are not recognized this has a tendency to demoralize them and he felt the few dollars being discussed would not make that much difference. Councilman Izell question Animal Control and Ambulance Service and discussion followed. In answer to Councilman Me Neill, Mr. Flandnck explained it was not necessary to contract for animal services. However, there are licensing and collection of dead animal problems and emergency situations. There are State statutes which the City has to comply with. In answer to Mayor White, he said that without a Rabies program there would be serious liability problems. Contracting provides the required and reasonable level of services. 00- Continued ANIMAL CONTROL BIB] 37657-U01 1979-U02 07-U02 02-U02 CC-U02 MIN-U02 LI1-U03 FO9591-U03 FO9593-U03 DO9719-U03 C4-U03 MINUTES1-U03 2/4/2003-U04 ROBIN-U04 REGULAR-U05 SESSION-U05 CITY-U06 COUNCIL-U06 1979 07 02 CC MIN;¢f4ÊÑAdjourned Regular Meeting of the City Council of the City of Baldwin Park July 2, 1979 Page 3 In answer to Councilman King regarding the Boys Club, Mr. Lucas, as a Member of the Board, said if they are able to keep personnel they can maintain the services.

They filed a formal written request conforming to all the requirements set forth in the proposed Resolution Res. No. 79-61). It was not formally acted upon as negotiations were then under way with the Police Association and the Employees Association. The Police Association did not act on this. He said it was staffs and his belief that the Mid Management Group did exist, did try to obtain recognition by the City. They are an active group with active representa- tion other than by the Employees Association and the Police Association. The staff has met and conferred with the Safety Employees Association. That association through its repre- sentatives had indicated their willingness to execute, and have in fact agreed, and executed a proposed Memorandum of Understanding which Council had).
