In response to Councilmember Van Cleave, Director Mousavi stated that possibly the
previously approved electric car will not be delivered until June. Both vehicles will be
delivered within about a month of each other. There has been a delay on the first
vehicle, but the City has been told that delivery may be in December and the vehicle on
the agenda will be delivered in June. The price for the two vehicles are not the same,
but the use of electricity is much less than gasoline. AB 2766 funding can be used tor
other opportunities, such as Rid eshare programs, and traffic commute projects that will
manage high speed vehicles in local residential areas. The City will get three fueling
stations which have matching grants. Application for the funding of the vehicle has to
be no later than November 15th. Total costs of the fueling stations are $12,000 each
and the City will pay 50% of that figure.
It was moved and seconded to approve Item No.9. M/S/C: VAN CLEAVE/MUSE,
There were no objections.

The regular meeting of the Redevelopment Agency was called into a joint session at
7:30 p.m. with the City Council meeting.
REPORTS OF OFFICERS. COMMISSIONS. AND COMMITTEES
Assistant Planner Harbin requested Council and the Redevelopment Agency authorize
the transmittal of the Draft Report and the Draft Initial Study and set a public hearing
pertaining to the proposed Sierra Vista Redevelopment Project Area Amendment.
In July 1986, the Redevelopment Agency adopted a redevelopment plan for the Sierra
vista Redevelopment Project Area. The Plan includes a provision that authorizes the use
of eminent domain on properties within the project area. According to State law, the
use of eminent domain is only valid for twelve years and is scheduled to expire next year.
Although the Agency does not anticipate the use of eminent domain, it is considered an
essential tool in the acquisition of properties should all other efforts fail. However, the
Sierra vista Plan will remain as adopted in 1986.
A resolution is required of the Agency authorizing the transmittal of the Draft Report and
the Draft Initial Study to the City Council. Once the transmittal is approved the Agency
will begin required consultations with the various taxing agencies.
Secondly, both the agency and council need to consent to a joint public hearing on the
proposed amendment. Staff has proposed that the joint public hearing be held on
November 19,1997, at 7:00 p.m. in Council Chambers. Staff will notify all property
owners at least 30 days prior to the hearing. Notice of the hearing will be published in
the Tribune three consecutive weeks starting on October 27th.
Staff recommended that the Agency authorize the transmittal of the report and consent
to the joint hearing with the Council and that the Council consent to a joint public hearing
with the Agency.
City Planner Harbin stated that the City's Consultant Glover of GRC requested that the
public hearing be rescheduled for December 3rd. with the advertisements beginning
November 17th.
It was moved and seconded to approve Resolution No.97-67, NA RESOLUTION OF
THE CITY COUNCIL CONSENTING TO A JOINT PUBLIC HEARING WITH RESPECT
TO AMENDING THE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE SIERRA VISTA
REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT, AND THE NEGATIVE DECLARATION PREPARED IN
CONNECTION THEREWITH,H amended to December 3, 1997. M/S/C:
MUSE/LOZANO There were no objections.

trash.
In response to Mayor pro tern Muse, Director Mousavi stated that when a street is paved,
the handicapped ramp and sidewalks are installed. However, sidewalks have their own
priority list. Wherever the streets and the sidewalks can be matched, the complete job
is done.
Mayor Lowes stated that sometimes the street that is being paved has no need for
sidewalks. She preferred that sidewalks not be put in where there is little pedestrian
traffic.
In response to Councilmember Lozano, Chief Kies stated that District Attorney Gil
Garcetti held a news conference and he indicated that he had been in discussions with
the Mexican Consulate regarding David Spooky" Alvarez. Mr. Garcetti has held fast to
his position and that its not to waive the death penalty in order for Mr. Alvarez to be
extradited to the United States. The Mexican Authorities have said that they will try David
Alvarez in Mexico for the crimes he committed in Baldwin Park. Chief Kies stated that
his concern is how can a person be tried in Mexico for a crime that has occurred in
Baldwin Park. The good news is Mr. Alvarez will remain in custody and won't be
released.
Mayor Lowes stated that she attended the Chamber of Commerce Legislative Meeting
and they are still concerned about the sidewalk sales in conjunction with the residential
yard sales. City Clerk Gair stated that every business has been sent a notice that they
can have the sidewalk sales the same day as the yard sales.
