MOTION: Mayor Pro Tern Garcia SECOND: Councilmember Pacheco Carried REQUEST FROM MAYOR LOZANO FOR DISCUSSION REGARDING CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN THE COMMUNITY AND SENIOR SERVICES OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY AND THE MID SAN GABRIEL VALLEY CONSORTIUM AS IT RELATES TO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF JULY 17, 2002- Mayor Lozano referenced the abovementioned correspondence stating for clarification purposes, that contrary to a statement written in letter dated August 23, from Mid San Gabriel Valley Consortium Director Haro. a retraction was not and has not been made of comments made at the July 17, 2002, City Council 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.
