OF THE CITY OF BALDWIN PARK APRIL 3, 1998
the Chamber would like to see begin, such as a Farmer's Market. A copy of the proposed budget
from the Chamber with a breakdown of their projected costs was given to each of the Council and
Staff that was present.
City Clerk Gair commented on the revenue that is collected from the AB1693 funds and stated that
the amount of revenue that is collected now, with the reduction is percentages, would not provide
the funding that is included in the budget presented. She also explained that the reason for the
implementation of the AB 1693 Funds was to relieve the General Fund from supporting the Chamber.
Council Members commented on their concern regarding the duplication of events and services, the
need for city funding for the Chamber, the need to know how many of the goals of the Chamber have
been met, the low membership of businesses belonging to the Chamber, and the City not getting
involved in Chamber programs that are already being done by the City. They also commented on the
Chamber needing to know what the businesses would like to see the Chamber do, more than what
the City would want to see done by the Chamber.
Council suggested that the Chamber come back to the Council with a budget that is much
broader, that has a breakdown of the exact costs within each estimated total, that tells how the
program is beneficial to the City, and that this is the whole budget of the Chamber as line by line
items. They also stated that the Council could not consider the Chamber budget until the City has
worked through their own budget. The two budgets must be considered before any decision can be
made on any kind of support to the Chamber from the City.
It was suggested that all this information be presented to the Council and that a discussion of this
be held at a later date at a Study Session.
* Possible Move of Chamber From Current Location to Sterling Way
Director Cervantes briefly discussed the purchase of the former doctor's office on Sterling Way and
the possibility of the Chamber moving into that unit. The Chamber stated their problems with the
building that they are presently in and that they cannot afford to do repairs. Also discussed was the
original contract that the Chamber signed, the Historical Society Building that the Chamber owns,
and the possibilities as to where the Chamber might relocate. It was agreed that this item needs more
research and to be discussed at a later date.
