no reason for a disagreement regarding this issue. He further stated that it is
Councilman Pacheco's right and privilege, as an individual, to be present at the

prefers to proceed with hiring an experienced Information Systems Management
consultant that would assess the department and identify the problems based on the
needs and requests of this Council.

would like to defer this matter to staff rather than hiring a consultant.
Mayor Pro Tern Garcia feels strongly in support of proceeding with hiring an experience
Information Systems Management consult.

supports deferring this matter to staff with a request to come back with a status report
on this matter.

a plan that would bring the city's technological resources up to date.
Councilmember Gair feels that hiring a consultant would be in the Crt/s best interest.
She reminded the Council of past problems that may have contributed to the situation
that we are now in. which include past budget cuts combined with receiving bad

System Staff members, noting that they have been most responsive to everyone*s
needs considering the equipment and resources that they have to work with.

costs involved and the risk of taking the department back to stage one of
implementation.

Councilmember Pacheco feels that this matter should have been brought forward for
discussion by Mayor Lozano at the next Consortium Board Meeting.
Mayor Pro Tern Garcia requested that a matter be placed on the next agenda regarding
the Mid San Gabriel Valley Consortium as it relates to the appointment of alternate
representatives. She reminded the council of its previous action, particularly that if
within three months, there is no resolution to existing problems within the Consortium
that Mayor Lozano and Councilmember Pacheco step down at that point.
Councilmember Pacheco stated that he was recently reading past minutes and felt
disheartened to read all that was going on. He stated that there was a lot of
misinformation being represented and a lot of accusations that were not accurate. He
reported that the Consortium has met with the County and various auditing procedures
had been implemented. Councilmember Pacheco further stated that the County
ultimately verified that a lot of the misappropriation of funds happened before and under
a previous administration. There are new accounting procedures now in place. The
monies owed by the Consortium to the County have been paid back.
Councilmember Van Cleave stated that he took the opportunity to visit the Consortium
and is happy of the results.
Mayor Pro Tern Garda stated that there are two issues that are distinct from each other.
The first being, the audit that was conducted by the County, which continues to be
worked on. The second issue is the concern of corruption that is taking place within the
Consortium as it related to the hiring practices of the Consortium. This practice
continues to go on. She reaffirmed her opposition to the hiring practices noting that the
Consortium hires individuals, in some instances, friends, who are not qualified, nor have
the requisite education to hold the positions such as case manager.
Councilmember Van Cleave feels that this matter has become a political issue and feels
unhappy about the negative publicity this brings to the City of Baldwin Park.
Councilmember Van Cleave feels that this matter is a personal matter between Mayor
Pro Tern Garcia and Councilmember Pacheco and that he has heard of no other City
that is serviced by the Consortium, who is attempting to remove their representatives.
Mayor Pro Tern Garcia responded to Councilmember Van Cleave comments stating
that other cities do not have jurisdiction over what this council is allowed to do. Other
cities have jurisdiction over the issue of their own representatives. Baldwin Park has
jurisdiction over its own representatives. If there is negative publicity, it is because
certain representatives are making the City of Baldwin Park look bad. Mayor Pro Tern
Garcia stated that her ultimate concern are the people of the City of Baldwin Park. Are
they receiving the services that they deserve at the Consortium? Mayor Pro Tern
Garcia feels that they are not. There does not currently exist within the Consortium, the
type of programs that are ultimately going to enhance the quality of life for our residents
or their families.
Councilmember Pacheco spoke on behalf of the Director of the Consortium noting that
the Director holds a Bachelor's Degree.

REQUEST FROM CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER KELLER FOR DISCUSSION
REGARDING RESUMPTION OF 2 + 2 COMMITTEE MEETINGS WITH THE SCHOOL
DISTRICT, INCLUDING CONSIDERATION OF COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVES TO
THE COMMITTEE; AND DISCUSSION REGARDING A LETTER RECEIVED FROM
THE VALLEY COUNTY WATER DISTRICT DATED AUGUST 22, 2002, RELATED TO
THE PARTICIPATION OF THE DISTRICT ON THE COMMITTEE
Councilmember Gair stated that she does not support the Valley County Water District
Members request to be included as members of the existing 2+2 committee. She feels
that the issues of emergency preparedness, infrastructure needs and water supply,
needs to be done in the presence of the full Council and School Board and not on the
level of the 2+2 committee. These issues are too critical and need to be heard by each
of the full bodies, respectively. She further stated that the implementation of the 2+2
surfaced due to the common uses by both agencies.
A motion was made to decline the request and receive and file.
MOTION: Councilmember Gair SECOND: Mayor Pro Tern Garcia Carried
Mayor Pro Tern Garcia informed the Council that the 2+2 meetings will resume and the
next meeting will be held on October 17, 2002, at 6:00 p.m., at the School District Board
