While parked, her vehicle was covered with debris that had been blown onto her vehicle by the landscape contractor. Ms. Test asked that the landscape contractor be advised of his inattention and that the work of the contractor be more closely monitored. Mr. Randy Garcia, 14221 Olive Street, spoke regarding a complaint against his neighbors and requested city assistance with enforcement. Mr. Garcia also spoke about the quality of the street resurfacing work performed by Bubalo Construction. Raquel Con-ales, 4129 Maine Avenue, requested City Council consideration to construct Maine Avenue as a two-lane highway. Vicky inaudible), Maine Street business owner, asked for City Council support to make Maine Avenue a two-lane highway. Wen Chen, 3000 Vineland Avenue, complained about the street vendors.

Mayor Pro Tern Gair acknowledged Mr. Magdalene's comments and inquired as to whether the City Council could submit its recommendation to the Planning Commission for their input prior to taking a final vote on a particular matter. City Attorney Alvarez-Glasman stated that at the discretion of the City Council, a process could be implemented that would insure that the Planning Commission is informed of the Council's recommendation. In the case of a public hearing, the Council could receive testimony and continue the hearing for the purpose of requesting input from the Planning Commission. This method would provide due process to the applicant/appellant. Mayor Pro Tern Gair requested that a process be established for future matters that come to the City Council for appeal. ILLEGAL STREET VENDORS Mayor Pro Tern Gair discussed the matter of illegal street vendors and the enforcement methods currently taken.

The amounts that were in question at the last meeting have been adjusted in accordance with the appropriate economics of this improvement district. The residents have received a subsequent report. There have been no additional ballots that have been received by the City. At this time, it would be appropriate to open the matter for public hearing. Mayor Lozano declared the public OPEN for public participation. Michael Adamo, 14601 Baldwin Avenue, stated that he had no complaints and the adjusted amount of the assessment is acceptable. He thanked the City Council and Engineering Manager Idnani for their diligence and efforts towards resolving this matter. Mr. Adamo further stated that it is his understanding that upon completion of the improvements, Baldwin Avenue could become a public street. He reminded the Council that Baldwin Avenue is a dead-end street and does not feel it is an appropriate public street throughway. Ms. Jodean Bollerman, 14526 Baldwin Avenue, stated that she owns three properties along Baldwin Avenue. In response to Ms. Boiler-man's inquiry regarding receiving a discount for multiple property ownership, City Attorney Alvarez-Glasman stated that the manner in which these types of assessment districts are created are based upon the linear feet which is being improved. The obvious dilemma of allowing any individual to bring in their own contractor or to do their own work will lack in continuity between one contractor to the other. The law does allow for these types of districts to be created for the improvements that are being sought. These assessments are based on how much property each individual owns. He further stated that the City is already contributing a significant of the improvement costs to the project, and by doing this; the City is already enhancing individual properties at a reduced rate in comparison to the costs that someone would incur otherwise. In response to Ms. Bollerman's inquiry, Director Nayier stated that the project, as designed, allows no room for Ms. Bollerman to keep her ivy in front of her home. Mr. Randy Garcia, 14221 Olive Street, asked the Council to consider Ms. Bollerman's request to keep her ivy in front of her home. He cited other areas within the city, which have been designed to accommodate these types of requests. There was no one else wishing to speak, therefore Mayor Lozano declared the public hearing CLOSED.
