Valentino, on behalf of his uncle Teodoro Gutierrez the applicant, stated that he did not see any. problem with the area. He explained the areas described in the staff report that were not correct. He requested that the Council reconsider this, because there is not any problem with the landscaping and with serving alcohol. Without a license it will be bad for his uncle's business. Jose Casilla, Baldwin Park, disagreed that this will not affect the area. He mentioned the parking as not being adequate for the number of stores. The lot next door is only dirt, there is already liquor sold only 100 feet from there, plus sold at a store on the comer. He felt that was too much for the area. He was opposed to this being allowed. Richard Tatum, did not feel this was an area that liquor should be sold in. There being no other speakers, Mayor Lowes declared the Public Hearing dosed.

In answer to Council inquiries, Staff responded that the owner does not want to make any site improvements, and that the City is responsible for the alley behind the store. Some of the Council felt that this was a dangerous and depressed area and expressed concern as to what the effect of sale alcohol would be in this area. It was moved and seconded to adopt Resolution No.98-6, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BALDWIN PARK DENYING AN APPEAL OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S DECISION TO ADOPT THE FINDING OF FACT AND DENY THE REQUEST FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW THE ON-SALE OF BEER AND WINE IN CONJUNCTION WITH A RESTAURANT."

These three proposals were evaluated to detennine their responsiveness to the RFP, their experience with such studies and whether their work plan and schedule met the needs of the City. Behrens and Associates was the highest ranked firm. Also, Donald Behrens, the project manager for the study, is fluent in Spanish. The all-inclusive cost of the study will be $16,343.. Their schedule is for six weeks beginning with a public meeting on Wednesday, January 28, 1998. Staff recommended approval. Cuncilman Van Cleave asked about the MetroLink representative that stated he would do these studies and the councilman requested these dust studies not be done right after the rain storms. Ms. Bouton stated that MetroLink will contribute but they want a great deal of input if they contribute, and the dust study at this time will be minimal. Council asked if the independent study is done can we guarantee that it will be an accepted study. Ms. Bouton responded that Behrens had done the Covina study and that their studies are sound. Council hoped that the study would influence the MetroLink in making some improvements and they reiterated that the Speed of the train and the noise of the horn was a major problem to the residents and this study will address these problems. They also asked if; when the report is in and it is in the City's favor, will MetroLink share in the cost? City. Manager Mousavi stated that they cannot determine yet what the problem is and only then can we request from MetroLink what they will consider doing. He also responded that this contract can be amended at a later date. This study will be done on a 24 hour basis. Council questioned if MetroLink has done anything yet and if they will cooperate after this study is done. Staff announced a Community meeting at 6:00 p.m. in the Community Center on January 28, with state and county legislators regarding the MetroLink problems. Mayor Lowes recommend that we request 50% funding from MetroLink if their demands are not too great on how this study should be done. Councilman Lozano expressed his concern that joining in with MetroLink would not give us the kind of conclusion that would be impartial, even though there is a justified concern about the amount of the money. City Manager Mousavi mentioned the track grinding that will be done on Saturday and that the MetroLink people notified the City of this today. Council asked that the neighbors be notified of this. It was moved and seconded to approve the award of contract to Behrens and Associates in the amount of $16,343 to conduct noise, dust, vibration and speed studies of MetroLink trains." MIS/C: LOZANO/VAN CLEAVE. There were no objections. Interim City Manager Mousavi requested acceptance of the report and direct staff on how to allocate funds for 1) street and 2) street lighting improvements for the next two fiscal years. Council has approved $2 million annually for street improvements, exclusive of any sidewalk, curb and gutter work. However, due to competing priorities and budgetary constraints, it has been difficult to allocate $2 million every year for the first five years of the Program.

The City annually applies for grants and receives approximately $25,000 from the State-Local Partnership Program which is restrictive and is used for street improvements in transit routes only. Since the City has not consistently maintained the $2 million funding for street renovation for the first five years of the Pavement Management Program, $1 I million is needed to complete the next five years. A total of $13 million is required in order to complete all street and street lighting improvements. However, not all $13 million will come from the General Fund. It was recommended that Council consider different funding options and authorize a budget amendment as appropriate in order to proceed with the design work in Spring 1998. City Manager Mousavi explained that there were three options before the Council for consideration. Mayor Lowes asked if we were halfway through the program why it is necessary to shorten the time. Councilman Pacheco commented that some streets have not been done in years, and he asked for a firm commitment to get the streets and the lights done. Mayor pro tern Muse commented about being almost a year behind in the ten year plan and she felt that stretching this out for so long it will just begin all over again. In response, it was stated that the original plan was to complete the City in ten years and then begin all over again. Also, comments were made about sidewalks not being included and how could this include the sidewalks and be done in a timely manner. Also discussed was to allocating more money from the CDBG funds. Council discussed the use of Gas Tax funds and how this would be affected by a three year plan and how funds could eventually be used for the sidewalks. City Manager Mousavi explained the reasons for different types of treatment that is done to certain streets and the causes of the choices that are made when making repairs. Council felt that condensing the project would allow the residents to really see the effect of the improvements. Council asked to look at some of the problem areas that they have seen and to understand why certain things have been done. Mayor Lowes expressed her concern about departing from the ten year plan and she had serious questions about condensing this on such a large scale because of the number of streets torn up at one time, and the effect on budget. She requested that the ten year program be continued until the upcoming budget can be developed. Councilman Van Cleave suggested catching up the one year. Councilman Pacheco felt this will turn into a fifteen year program as we fall behind, also streets will be coordinated as to where the tear ups are. He suggested using the Reserve Funding which is now at 8.2 million dollars. City Manager Mousavi responded to Council that the cost to the Reserve Funds would be $1 7 million per year for 3 years, which is more than half of the reserves over three years. Council discussed the risks involved in using the reserves funds to the extent that is being suggested.. Council pointed out that this would not be spent all at one time and this would give plenty of time for the reserves to build again. Mayor Lowes read the three options that are before the City Council and Mayor pro tern Muse asked if this is for all the design work. City Manager Mousavi explained that it is for one year.

It was moved by Councilman Pacheco to approve Option No.3, To condense the next five years into three years and allocate from the General Fund this fiscal year $340,000 for design work of street improvements and $57,000 for design work for street lighting improvements.

M,S/C: MUSE/VAN CLEAVE. Councilman Pacheco objected to the motion. Motion carries. 00- COUNCIL/STAFF REOUESTS AND COMMUNICATIONS Mayor Lowes asked that there be a Neighborhood Enhancement Program meeting for February 7, and announced that Chilcot Street will be the first street. She requested a future meeting to discuss the Situation of a City Manager and/or an Executive Team. The meeting was requested for 5:00 p.m on Thursday, January 29, 1998. If consensus cannot be reached by the Council at that meeting then possibly there should be a meeting with a facilitator. Councilman Pacheco would like to continue the Economic Development study session meeting that was held previously to get further information. Cervantes responded that a cash flow chart regarding these projects could be developed and there could be a study session to go over that information. Councilman Van Cleave expressed his concern about the vacancies that are in the police department and he would like to see these issues be solved. He felt that council is holding this up. Chief Kies responded regarding the positions that are open. City Manager Mousavi stated that he and Chief Kies felt those positions need to be filled on an Acting basis. Mayor Lowes stated that she felt the Chief should fill these areas. Chief Kies suggested that he provide a report to explain the lateral appointments that might be filled, this would be a factual report and Council could contact the Chief. Mayor pro tern Muse thanked everyone for the support she has received during her pregnancy and told of the birth of her daughter Taylor last week. She also requested a meeting with the school board to work out some of the problems and efforts that Council and the Board have in common. She requested that the Museum be put on our schedule of activities that we publish to bring attention to it. She asked about the Baldwin Park 2000 expansion for the entire City.
