PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS
Mr. Dan Trunco, Walnut Street resident, expressed concern with the refuse service and the
increase in rates. He expressed disappointment with the fact that residents must pay extra for
the their refuse bins. He feels that the service provider should provide the bins free of charge.
Robert Moonyham, 3116 Mayland St., spoke about the excess amount of shopping carts within
the community. He counted seven carts on his way to this meeting. He requested that this
matter be immediately enforced. Mayor Lozano requested Director Nayier to follow up on this
matter. He also asked Assistant to the Chief Executive Officer Bouton to place an article in the
NOW regarding this matter.
Oscar Christiano, Baldwin Park resident, thanked Mayor Lozano and Councilmember Garcia for
giving him the opportunity to become employed by Kaiser Permanente. Mr. Christiano
requested that the pool tables and billiard equipment at the senior center be replaced. They are
old and deteriorated and in need of being replaced. Mr. Christiano expressed concern about
city-wide parking. He referenced the recent action of the City Council, where the widening of the
streets was approved. Mr. Christiano feels that the city does not need wider streets and feels
that those funds could be utilized for the proposed skate park. Mr. Christiano inquired as to
when the proposed skate park would be completed. He suggested that the city consider
establishing a health club and other types of entertainment businesses. He feels that there are
too many medical businesses and restaurant businesses.
Alfonso Contreras, resident, spoke about the refuse rate increase, stating the rate increase was
approved by the City Council. He requested that the City Council minimize the number of
presentations at the beginning of the meeting such that they do not disrupt the business portion
of the council meetings. He also commented on Agenda Item 1-C, regarding the Official Police
Towing Service. Mr. Contreras feels that it is unfair to give the contract to just one towing
service provider.
Kathryn Tizcareno, City Clerk/resident, spoke about the service provided by the refuse service
provider. She has been experiencing problems with their service especially as it relates to the
customer service that is provided to the residents. She has called the office and has been left

provider and left several messages and to date, her calls have gone unanswered.
Ms. Emma Moonyham, 3116 Mayland Street. Ms. Moonyham stated that the recently installed
billboard signs are not bad looking after all. They are placed high enough that they do not
obstruct the view. Ms. Mooneyham asked that the council consider earmarking a portion of the
funds received from the billboard revenues, towards beautification of that area.
Mayor Pro Tern Gair wished to comment regarding Mr. Mooneyham's comment about shopping
carts. Mayor Pro Tern Gair had observed that from Merced Avenue to Francisquito Avenue,

Assistant City Attorney Olvera stated that because the City receives a portion of the funds that
are collected by the Los Angeles County, unless this ordinance is introduced, the City will not
received those allocated funds.

City Council is because the County is proposing a fee increase in June. If the City does not
introduce the ordinance then the increase will not be reflected on the City of Baldwin Park's
billing notices. This increase off-sets animal control costs to the City whereby, the City's Animal
Control cost is reduced by whatever amount is collected for licensing.

Control for the purpose of providing additional information to the City Council on their services.
