Mayor White introduced the Public Hearing on, A City initiated request to amend chapters 17.21, 17.23, 17.25 and 17.34 of Baldwin Park Zoning Code in order to allow electronic reader board signs in the FC Freeway Commercial), 1C Industrial/Commercial) and 01 Office Industrial) zones with a Conditional Use Permit, City Planner Rangel explained that staff recently received a request for an on-premise electronic reader board ERB) for recreational vehicle sales. As a result. Staff reviewed other uses which may use reader boards and found that new auto dealers sometimes requeast ERB's. He further explained that the consideration of the code amendment is only for those signs advertising products sold on the same parcel on which the sign is located. Staff believes that the maximum height should not be greater for ERB than any other on-premise signs allowed and that the sign face area should not be significantly greater for ERB's than for any other on-premise signs allowed. ERB's should only be allowed for commercial uses in the 01, FC and 1C zones when ERB's are oriented to the freeway which should minimize sign proliferation and confusion. And a conditional use permit be required. Staff recommends that the Council approve the Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact and adopt AZC-111. Councilman King inquired on the duration and frequency of messages on ERB's. City Planner Rangel responded that the City will use the same requirements as Cal Trans. Mayor White declared the Public Hearing on AZC-111 open and invited those wishing to speak to come forward.

M/S/C: KING/IZELL. There were no objections. REPORTS OF OFFICERS, COMMISSION AND COMMITTEES Director of Administrative Services Yelton gave a summary of the Mid-Year Financial review for FY87. He explained that the General Fund Revenue is projected to be slightly higher and the General Fund Expenditures slightly lower than what was estimated to be at the beginning of the fiscal year. The overall effect of the revised revenue and expenditures estimate is that this year fund balance expected will be a $434,ooo surplus rather than a $219,000 deficit. He further explained that the major factors con- tributing to the revised estimate of fund balance are as follows: Sales Tax Revenues for the month of July though December are less than they have been for the same period during the past several fiscal years. The Utility Users Tax is projected to exceed the budget level by about $56,000 and Motor Vehicle In-Lieu taxes are expected to exceed their budget level by about $91/000; Transfers: The General Fund subsidy required by the Street Light and Landscaping Assessment District is projected to be about $57,000 less than anticipated. Liability Claims were budgeted to be $180,000 this year. As of December $147,000 in cliams have already been filed and can be assumed that the original budget will be exceeded by about $100,000 and the budget should be amended accordingly; Expenditures are estimate to fall about $489,000 below budget level. The conclusion of the mid-year budget analysis is the cities year-end financial position will be approximately $650,000 better than it was projected to be* Another important issue discussed was Proposition 62 and the effect it has on the cities Utility User Tax. In summary. Proposition 62 forces the city to either abolish the Utility Users Tax or to submit the Ordinance to the voters for approval. However the passage of Proposition 62 and the results of the mid- year financial revenue, requires the need for the Council to examin the objections listed in the staff report. Staff feels that the utility tax should not be entirely eliminated. Instead Council should adopt a plan to phase out the tax in a 21-month period. Staff recommends that the Council amend the utility tax ordinance to include the following rate schedule changes, PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED ORDINANCE NO. 957 FIRST READING) APPROVED MID-YEAR FINANCIAL REVIEW STAFF REPORT YELTON BIB] 37652-U01 1987-U02 02-U02 18-U02 CC-U02 MIN-U02 LI1-U03 FO3794-U03 FO9441-U03 DO9467-U03 C4-U03 MINUTES1-U03 1/30/2003-U04 ROBIN-U04 REGULAR-U05 SESSION-U05 CITY-U06 COUNCIL-U06 1987 02 18 CC MIN;¢f4ÃàpeREGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BALDWIN PARK FEBRUARY 18, 1987 PAGE FIVE Effective Date April 3, 1987 January 1, 1988 November 15, 1988 Revised Rate 3% 2% 0% and approve the budget amendment for the additional $100/000 for liability claim reserves.

READING) M/S/C: KING/GIBSON. There were no objections. APPROVED Ellen Volmert, Assistant to the City Manager explained COMMUNITY the need for several approvals to expedite the design CENTER and a fundraising drive relating to the Community STAFF Center capital improvement project. She explained REPORT that the new center would provide easier access and improved services from the City and from the Baldwin Park Boy's and Girl's Club that will share the facility. The City Council has already set aside $2.1 million, transferred from the Redevelopment Agency, for the new center's construction and for the rehabilitation of the existing Morgan Park Recreation building. Ellen Volmert/ also explains that the corporation is going through a reorganization period and it is recommending that the City Council appoint the Mayor and one Councilmember to serve on the Corporation's Board of Directors. In June 1986 a contract was approve with Ross & Associate for a feasibility study on raising funds for the new Community Center. The study called for a campaign which will include cost for management of the campaign of $2,000 per Month, plus an additional $3,000 flat fee for the public relations work. The campaign is expected to last at least six months and the agreement is set not to exceed $16,000. Therefore, it is suggested that funds in the amount of $16,000 be transfered to the Community Center Corporation for the agreement. A floor plan and artist's rendering is also needed as part of the fundraising. Therefore, four proposals for this work were received and CHA-RIE TANG was selected because of their understanding of the project and their ability to provide the work in a timely fashion. Staff recommends that the Council approve the following items and authorize the Mayor and the City Clerk to execute the necessary documents: 1. Statement of Objectives for the Community Center Capital Improvement Project; 2. Morgan Park Building Needs Assessment; 3. The role of Community Center Corporation in the funding of the Community Center and in providing participation by the community in the project; 4. Appointment of the Mayor and one other City Councilmember to the Community Center Corporation Board of Directors.
