The request that is being made is for two bargaining units to be created from SEIU # 347. The group requesting to be in a separate unit consists of eleven clerical positions. The representative from the union, Craig Verline, stated that several meetings had taken place between the two units before this was brought as an informal hearing. Mayor Lowes stated that the City Council has studied this issue and directed that staff return a report of a resolution to be placed on the Consent Calendar for the June 3, 1998 City Council meeting. Council agreed by unanimous consent. Community Development Director Cervantes explained that brokers are trying to generate interest in the Towne Center and they have sent out packets to interested parties. The city will also review some of the packets that are returned. Council discussed the marketing of the Towne Center and expressed the following concerns and interests for the property: * Seeing the interests of the City served by having stores that fit will with the City. * Like to have someone who understands economic development, the economy and the City researching this. * To have Council review the top ten applicants and a third party to mediate. * Go to a RFP * Use All American Cities Fund to cover the cost of a consultant. * Have the City active as possible through a consultant. * A consultant could evaluate the best proposal. * Wait on a consultant until we see what the owners do. * We need someone in place to oversee this with everything going on. * We need someone who is a professional that understand the market variables and possibly looking at the freeway corridor. * Find businesses to come into many areas not just one place. * Look at hiring someone to look into this on an hourly basis and/or scope of service. * Someone that specializes in a specific area would be good for the City and for businesses and would allow someone to assist Steve. * Find out our needs in the areas and not wipe out other businesses think about Baldwin Park. Mayor Lowes felt that this may be premature, but Council Member Muse felt that it is perfect timing because we have developers here and they are showing an interest in the business areas. Council gave direction to pursue the idea of a consultant to develop the ideas that have been put forth tonight. Director Cervantes responded that he would like to invite three or more consultants to come for a presentation 00- BIB] 37175-U01 MIN-U02 SS-U02 MAY-U02 20-U02 1998-U02 LG1-U03 LI1-U03 FO3433-U03 FO3571-U03 FO3631-U03 DO4237-U03 C4-U03 MINUTES1-U03 10/11/2001-U04 ADMIN-U04 MIN-U05 SS-U05 MAY-U05 20-U05 1998-U05 BIB] 37263-U01 1998-U02 05-U02 20-U02 CC-U02 MIN-U02 SS-U02 LG1-U03 LI1-U03 FO3433-U03 FO3571-U03 DO4237-U03 C4-U03 MINUTES1-U03 10/11/2001-U04 ADMIN-U04 CITY-U05 COUNCIL-U05 MINUTES-U05 1998 05 20 CC MIN SS@˜}MIN SS MAY 20 1998à›[H6Û8REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL STUDY SESSION) PAGE 3 MAY 20, 1998 OF THE CITY OF BALDWIN PARK Mayor Lowes adjourned the regular study session at 6:40 p.m. There were no objections.
