Mr. Kelly stated that this matter was before Council based
upon the fact that the applicant violated two sections of
Section 9483 of the Zoning Code, and Section 2.H. of the
Planning Commission Resolution; specifically that the
perr'it is being exercised contrary to the terms and
conditions of the approval; that the use for which the
approvil was granted is being exercised so as to be
detrimental to the Public Health or Safety, or as to
constitute a public nuisance.
Councilman Aguilar said he would abstain from voting on
this item as prior to October 25, 1979 he had met with
Mr. Randall and expressed his views; also his residence
is two or three houses from this property.
Mr. K^lly reviewed the Agenda Packet report and the Staff
and Planning Commission recommendation to revoke Conditional
Use Permit 268, based upon the findings. He said the City
diJ no^. desire being placed in a position of being uncon-
cerned about the residents of Hampshire House. The City's
only objection deals with the lack of supervision people
are receiving and the kinds of problems they are causing
to the Police Department and the residents in the area
relative to this lack of supervision. The City's concern
in this matter is a land use issue, that the use permit
co.h'itions relative to adequate supervision are not being
honored, and not the kind of care residents are receiving.
He said Council had received from Mr. Kerckhoff a copy of
a petition signed by 56 people within approximately 1000
feet of the subject property.
In answer to Councilman Kina, Mr. Kelly said public hearing
notice was given to within 300 feet of the property. The
nurl'er of residents who signed the petition and living within
30^ feet is about 30'. of the total number of properties.
This 30' was also true of up to 600 to 1000 feet of the
property.
Mavor nite declared the Public Hearing Open.
Anton \L Kerckhoff, 140 W. College St., Covina, Calif.,
Attorney, representing Mr. Randall, owner of Hampshire
House, said he anticipated there would be testimony
with respect to the complaints alluded to by Mr. Kelly.
Their plan would be to listen to the complaints and then

Mayor White said this was not a trial but a Public Hearing
and pertinent testimony would bo considered.
Councilman Izell said this Public Hearing is for the people
of Baldwin park who are concerned.
With Council concurrence, Gregg Wood, 4238 Pasadena Street,
teacher at Hampshire House said he would interpret the
proceedings for the benefit of Residents who are deaf.
Steve Foundoulis, 509 Julian Drive, Pasadena stated he is a STEVE FOUNDOULIS
Psychiatric Social corker. Program Consultant with Hampshire PSYCHIATRIC SOCIAL
House for 13 months. He described the procedure to receive WORKER/PROGRAM
residents and the process that takes place in the development, CONSULTANT WITH
education; programming and supervision. Residents are HAMPSHIRE HOUSE
referred by the State of California Department of Development
and Disabilities. After referral, parents decide whether a
candidate will be comfortable in Hampshire House. A screening
procedure is begun. They do not accept addicts or people
known to have violent behavior. There is a 30 day probation
period for indepth screening to develop a program for the
person and determine their needs. With the assessment a
treatment plan is developed. The program is implemented by
7 program Counselors. They do staff training on a weekly
basis. They have 2 special education teachers from the School
District. Sign language is also used. They are developing
a work shop where sometime in the future residents can
participate.
Mayor White explained that Councils concern is Supervision
of the residents and their effect on the neighborhood. Future
plans, etc. are not that significant to the issue before
Council, He asked that testimony be confined to what is
germain to the issue.
Steve Foundoulis said that in the past 15 months to reduce
problems screening has been more intensive. They have
discussed this with the State and they are being more selective.
They have 7 additional staff to work with residents. This
is an open facility, as mandated by Title II of the Social
Security Act, with the emphasis toward normalization. The
people are free to come and go as they please. Those whose
behavior is in conflict with the Community are removed.
Those with a potential problem are chaperoned when away
from the facility. He understands that most problems have
been at the Baldwin Park Bowling Alley, so they now take
residents to establishments in Covina. They have 22 employees,
housekeepers, cooks, attending staff, counselors, supervisors
and manager. They maintain 3 residents to 1 staff member.
In answer to Councilman King's questions, Mr. Foundoulis
said the State refers residents in keeping with the guide
lines for their particuidr kind of facility, however the
facility has more detailed screening and is more discriminating
in their acceptance. From the 1st to 30 days at Hampshire
House residents are evaluated. He said he had no evidence
of a problem with a dog or they would have acted immediately.
The people are not violent or armed.
Councilman King said a signer of the petition in close proximity
to Hampshire House said things had seemed to imorove and
that's the reason they had signed the petition. However,
they did relate previous quite serious happenings to him.
In answer to Councilman McNeill, Mr. Foundoulis said he was
the Program Consultant, whereupon Councilman McNeitI said his

concern was, can supervision he handled at Hampshire House
or not and ho wauled lo hoar fro';i the Manager or the owner
of the property.
Councilman Izell said the question is, has Hampshire House
complied with the Conditional Use Permit or not and did
they violate the permit any time in the past 4 or 5 years.
In answer to Councilman Izell, Mr. Foundoulis said the state
useu certain referral guide lines, however Hampshire House
does not necessarily have to accept the referrals, but if
there is no conflict they do accept them. They have hired
7 more people and have a more stringent screening process.
Councilman Aguilar asked why the staff was not increased
before the City took action and said had there been adequate
supervision this issue would not be before Council.
Mr. Foundoulis said the entire process of referrals and
hiring and trainee Counselors was in an on going process
of change for 13 months and the State requires a 3 to 1
ratio.
Albert Randall, Palm Springs, Calif., owner of Hampshire
House, 3546 Vineland, said the responsibility was his and
in accordance with State requirements they have a ratio of
3 to 1. The number has varied. If they did not comply with
State requirements their license would be taken away. He
could not believe a resident would choke a dog. He said he
never received any letters, maybe one, about revocation of
the Dermit and then he discussed this with the Manager and
the Staff and to take care of those who go out they hired
3 or 9. They have 23 employees and 45 residents, that's 2 to
1. About 80\ can go out and do not need Counselors to go
out. They shop and 90 to work. 98 of the 80.''- of the police
comolaints were from the bowling alley, not the street. The
Bowling Alley or the Hamburger place call the police and they
are brought back to Hampshire House. They now take them to
Covina where they are accepted. He will employ more people
if necessary. He has expanded the school as there is a need
to help these people. There is no other home 1ik" this. The
3 or 4 who were causinc; problems have been replaced. He has
reolacpd staff members and there will he no trouble. He
asked that they remain and that Hampshire House be checked
every 60 days. They have 2\ acres, fhere have been thefts
fro'n outsiders but they have not called the police. A bullet
hole is in their window from the lot next door. The residents
receive medical and dent.il care. Ho te1t that the majority
of neighbors do not object to Hampshire House. On October
18 the State presented thorn with a Commendation. He asked
that compassion bo shown.
In answer to Councilman King, Mr. Kelly said that t^e first
Public Notice on Revocation was sent to an incorrect address.
The meeting was continued, and another notice sent.
Mr. Randall said he had received the Notice and the Manager
said that possibly she should have told him that twice
residents were picked up at the bowling alley.
In answer to Councilman King, Mr. Randall said that the first
2 vears he spent 4 or five days a week at Hampshire House,
but lately his wife has not been there so now he's there
about 4 or 5 times a week. To control the nuisance in the
surrounding neighborhood when he found out about it) he
hired 8 extra people to acr. as c-hdnorones for those they feel

the purpose of Hampshire House and asked that the program EMPLOYEE AT

a bus which some residents use and her children related to her
that the residents are very well mannered and well behaved.

J^-M T*-1 12 years; had some experience with mentally retarded; was a
ficA-^^*-^ volunteer worker at Pacific State for 5 years. He said the
people he has worked with there refer to Hampshire House as
cP one of the better homes in a Community. He said he had seen
it at its worst and that supervision has improved a great deal.
Mary Beth Me Rae, Los Angeles, Calif., Area Administrator MARY BETH MC RAE
for Eastern Area of Los Angeles County Development Services AREA ADMINISTRATOR

continued.
In answer to Councilman Ize11, Mrs. Me Rae said the State
and nation wide program is to place mentally ill and retarded
in the Community so they can adjust. She said she would
rather see 6 and under residents in a facility as this gives
a family tike atmosphere.
In answer to Mayor White, Mrs. Me Rae said the only way they
would be aware of police complaints would be thru a report
to a Social Worker. It is the responsibility of the
administrator and staff to advise them of problems and
comolaints.
She said State law has preempted local Ijw in regard to
facilities that have 6 or less residents in that they have
a right to 1i ve in an R-1 Residential dred. t arger
faci 1 i ties have di ftp rent requi rement.s for stdffinc ind

much more confined and d Facility is that individujis home
and he is free to come and go. He is under 4 hour super-
vision, but never locked in. A smaller fcicility prepares
them for a family facility.
In answer to Councilman McNei11, Mrs. ft Rae said there are
2 beds to a room at Hampshire House. She said these are
youno adults and if they are capable of being out in the
street at 10 p.m. or 11 p.m. and they kn;>. how to conduct
themselves she would have no feelinci abo; Jfem being out.
Councilman McNei'll said he had raised 9 cnildren and there
was a time limit when they had to be in and he did not hold
to their being out as long as they like ind doos not agree
that 44 people should be. There should be some dssjrance
that this is curtailed or sui.iervised whi'n th^v jre out.

before. Regarding those in the neighborhood at night, he
said, 1n the last few weeks they have hired 8 peoole to
stay with them. They have sufficient staff and have had
and records can be checked.
In answer to Councilman Kings inquiry as to why supervision
was sporadic and not consistent, Mr. Randall said that in
recruiting employees, even after screening, they sometimes
made mistakes and hired the wrong people and then had to
replace them. Three residents who went out at night are
no longer with them.
Councilman McNeilI said it was commcnfldhle Lo have a home
but management seems to bo the proMon'. The schedule he
read indicates supervisors from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
but he did not see a supervisor at night or on Saturday.
He was not convinced that. supervisors have time to spend
in the street with residents. He was not convinced that
there will not be public nuisance without proper super-
vision. If supervision were provided he might change his
mind.
Mr. Randall said he guaranteed there would be proper super-
vision.

Councilman Aguitar asked when Mr. Randall had contacted
Mrs. Me Rae concerninq HamDshire House problems and she said
this was at the time of Notice of Hearinq. However, the
Social Worker is in weekly contact.
Car"! Bailey, 2312 Academy Avenue, Pomona, a student at Cal
Poty, works at Hampshire House and is hired to watch the
residents. He does not believe they create problems now
and would like to see Hampshire House continue.
In answer to Council man Izell, Mr. Ben ley said he works
2^ hours a week on Saturday and Sunday dnd on Wednesday
he works until 11 o'clock. He and others chdperone those
who go out.
In answer to Councilman Kino, Mrs. Me Rao said her staff
receives information from the facility staff and from
observation. Thei r primary duty is to pi ace an indi vi dual,
evaluate his needs, to work out a program with the facility
and the Community and then work with the individual to make
certain his services are taken care of.
Councilman Kinq said it would appear to bin that a check
would be made with City Hall to ascert.-iin community problems
and not rely on the facility.

COUNCILMAN AGUILAR
Councilman Ize11 said that out of ail the testimony he
had heard, there was only one Baldwin Park person in favor
of this and part of his testimony was thdt Hampshire House
had been very bad in the past. Everyone who testified
admitted that they had problems, that t-hey were going to do
better. Council's duty was to decide whether they had
violated the Conditional Use Peru.it. and everyone admitted
th'j t they viol ate d the? C,ond11 iond I Use Perni t.. little of
the testimony had anythinc] to do wit.h the ouesUon to
decided.
Mayor white concurred with Council that t'leir concern was
land use. He was particularly interested in Mrs. Me Pae's
statement that 6 residents in a family tyue facility is
preferable. A group of this size would not create a
disturbance and would be compatible with the residential
nature of the neighborhood. To house 44 or 48 people in
one premises in the heart of a residential neighborhood
creates a hostility toward those persons that miaht other-
wise be accepted if they wc?re fewer in number. To compound
this with the demonstrated luck of supervision m this
facility has made it totally incompatible. There c^re
rights for everyone to come int.o the city and build.
In July 1978 the owners of" this fjcilUy amo to the City
and said we would like to have special consideration to

In his judge-
ment, Mayor White said, Mr. Randall has not lived up to
his promises of July, 197.° and that he had violated the
conditions of the Conditional Use Permit which has caused
this facility not to be compatible with a residential area.
Going back to Mrs. Me Rac's testimony there are certain
needs that are not addresses in small locations and Mr.
Benbow's testimony that an educational program can be very
effective and is a needed thing, but this just can't include
a 24 hour residence of a great number of people in that
residential area. He felt the owner had had ample time
to correct the situation. Under the direct duress of
revocation he has made substantial gains. One employee
stated he worked part tine, 5 hours a week, and Mayor
White wondered if other employees are part time and how that
would affect the total management.

Harold Brody, 346^ No. Vineland Avenue, said everyone had HAROLD BRODY
rights and it is state policy to place these people in the
Comnium ty.
Mayor White said Councils concern was conduct and super-
vision and the City Attorney advises on the legal aspects.
Mr. Brody said that since Mr. Randall learned of the problems
he had hired additional people. He suggested closer coopera-
tion in the future with the Planning Department and the
facility by tighter management with scheduled supervision
by the City; that each shift report problems immediately
to him; initiate a supervised tram service for the residents.
He said Mr. Randall had started the Buddy System. Mr. Brody
suggested a canteen at the facility.
He felt something should be worked out and that 30 or 60
days would allow them to resolve problems. The problem
can be controlled. He suggested that Hampshire House use
a staff member to police the residents throughout town.
Robert H. Benbow, Covina from the Baldwin Park School District, ROBERT H. BENBOM
said that within the last month he hdd seen constant super- BALDWIN PARK SCHOOL
vision by the young Counselors when he was in the arpd from DISTRICT
3:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. He said the situation had improved.
Mr. Kerckhoff in summary, said he felt that perhaps the MR. KERCKHOFF
report of police calls had been telescoped over a period of SUMMARY
4 years. He referred to an April 10, 1979 interdepartmental
communication from Chief Chellino to William Kelly which
indicated the situation had ipiDroved, from Officer Lermon
to Captain Mertens regarding a resident who read the news-
paper, folded it and put it on Mr. Bob Talbot's porch at
3536 Vineland. Ron Wall, 3594 Vineland, said he had never
had any problems with residents. He said this City and all
cities are exposed to related or worse problems and Hampshire
House is providing a valued and necessary community function.
He said Council would have to find suf^'ciont facts upon which
to base a conclusion that there is a nuisance of sufficient
maonitude to warrant the revocation of a valuable program.
He said there is a difference between inconvenience and
nuisance. Businesses are subject to rudeness from all types
of clients and he would prefer Hampshire House residents to
many of them. Ho suggested that Council visit Hampshire
House. Sometimes a situation has to become serious before
changes and corrections are made. There have been improve-
ments lately. Under a Conditional Use Pernit the City has
control. The residents are no different than anyone else
and they are screened and have a right to a niace in society.
He suggested concrete supervisory directives from the City
and denial of the revocation.
Councilman Izetl asked that the statonont normal and vicious"
be explained and Mr. Korckhoff said it was an inconsistency.
He said, we consider them normal but they are vicious e
was referring to some young people as a whole-not the residents
who are screened.)
As there was no further testimony either in behalf of or in PUBLIC HEARING
opposition to Revocation of CP-26^, Mayor hite declared the REVOCATION OF CP-268
Public Hearing closed. CLOSED
Counci Iman King said th inking of th'-1 hun'ctri element 11 is COUNCIL COMMENTS
difficult for Council to consider dnprivinri these people but COUNCILMAN KING
on the other hand residents in the cired hem- ueen harassed
by the people of Hampshire House; police calls cind resources
