Staff has received a Power-point presentation on diskette which she will distribute to the Council. Mayor Pro Tern Gair stated that the Grassroots Network will provide the same lobbying efforts as they provided for the binding arbitration matter. The issue of the Grassroots Network has been discussed at previous League conferences. In summary, the Grassroots network provides a lobbying force in Sacramento, which is something we have not had in the past. Ultimately, not having a lobbying force may cause additional funding to be taken away from various cities. At the request of Councilmember Pacheco, a motion was made to table this matter to July 3, 2001. MOTION: Councitmember Pacheco SECOND: Councilmember Van Cleave Motion carried PUBLIC HEARINGS PUBLIC HEARING RELATING TO THE SPECIFIC PLAN SP 01-2) AND DEVELOPMENT PLAN DR-14) FOR A 34 UNIT SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL UNIT DEVELOPMENT LOCATION: 12800-12806 DALEWOOD STREET Councilmember Pacheco requested an explanation as to why only one side of the street is proposed to be painted red. He also inquired as to the precise location that is proposed to be painted red. Councilmember Pacheco feels that the plans, as submitted with the red curbing, may cause parking problems. Councilmember Pacheco also inquired about the access into the development stating that he has received inquiries and concerns from residents living within the project area, about the existing traffic pattern as a result of the apartments situated on the comer. One of the concerns is that when a vehicle is parked at the end of Nolia, the oncoming vehicles have a blind spot. He requested that staff review the plans and provide an alternative that would mitigate this problem. Councilmember Pacheco requested staff to confirm and identify the perimeter property walls of the project and those that divide each property. He also inquired as to the type of block that is proposed to be used. Councilmember Pacheco requested staff to review the flag lot property No. 34). He suggested relocating the driveway on the opposite end of where it is shown on the plans. He also suggested that the house on the corner property No. 7) be reconfigured such that the front of one of the homes does not face the side of the neighboring home. Upon question by Mayor Pro Tern Gair, Principal Planner Harbin stated that the 45' street width has been approved by the fire department. Mayor Pro Tern Gair requested that staff provide the Council with information on the minimum size that the street would have to be in order not to have a red curb side.

He requested to receive a more detailed explanation of some of the line items. He also asked that the previously established City Council/Staff goals be incorporated into the budget, such that it charts a financial course for this Council. Councilmember Pacheco asked for clarification regarding the Assistant City Clerk's position. Chief Executive Officer Keller explained that at the present time, there is only one authorized full-time position in the City Clerk's Department which is the Deputy City Clerk position. The proposal is to have two full time positions in that department, by adding an Assistant City Clerk to the department. Mayor Pro Tern Gair inquired as to whether or not this was a title change for the current Deputy and a request to add a Deputy. Chief Executive Officer Keller stated that was probable as to how it would occur noting however, that the main point is that of adding an additional position. Upon question from Councilmember Pacheco, Chief Executive Officer Keller stated that the decision to change the existing Deputy City Clerk's title to Assistant City Clerk, is the intent however that would be determined later. Councilmember Pacheco requested that an additional position for a total of three full-time positions) be considered for the City Clerk's department, stating that he feels the department is understaffed and is in need of additional staffing resources.

On December 20, 2000, the City Council selected three 3) towing companies to serve as the City's Official Police Tow Service providers. Those companies were Budget, Freddie Mac's, and Royal Coaches Towing. Following that meeting, and at the Council's direction, the City Council amended Section 100 of the Municipal Code to provide for more flexibility in meeting the requirements, as well as the flexibility in retaining a tow company for the big rig and hazardous material responses only. As such, we would have two 2) companies that would be on a rotational tow basis and would be responsible for meeting the police requirements for tow services. In the event the department required big rig services the department would be authorized to call a third company that handles only those types of incidents. Based upon the revised ordinance, it was apparent to staff, that the majority of the City Council's preference was to narrow the field of companies to business that are located within the City of Baldwin Park. Staff failed to make a clear understanding of the City Council's intention to have specifically the two companies for rotational towing and the third company for big rig towing only. As such, the staff report that was presented to the City Council on June 6, 2001, did not clearly define the extent of the services that was to be provided by each of three companies. At this time, this matter is before the City Council for clarification and it is recommended that the City Council consider one of the following actions: 1) Ratify the action taken approving Resolution No. 2001- 006 entitled, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BALDWIN PARK, CALIFORNIA, DESIGNATING THREE OFFICIAL POLICE TOW SERVICE PROVIDERS AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY TO ENTER INTO SEPARATE FRANCHISE AGREEMENTS WITH EACH OFFICIAL POLICE TOW SERVICE PROVIDER, PURSUANT TOO BALDWIN PARK MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 100"; or 2) Adopt Resolution No. 2001-061 entitled, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BALDWIN PARK, CALIFORNIA, DESIGNATING TWO OFFICIAL POLICE TOW SERVICE PROVIDERS AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY TO ENTER INTO SEPARATE FRANCHISE AGREEMENTS WITH EACH OFFICIAL POLICE TOW SERVICE PROVIDER, PURSUANT TO BALDWIN PARK MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 100". Upon question from Councilmember Van Cleave, Acting Chief Kling stated that the recommendation and action taken at the last meeting was approving three 3) towing companies on a rotational basis, which was not the intent of the majority of the Council. Mayor Pro Tern Gair inquired as to under what circumstances did staff receive council majority direction to go with the action of two 2) companies. Mayor Pro Tern Gair recalls that this matter was to come back before the City Council for the purpose of deleting the large equipment and to change the ordinance to allow for a company that does not meet the requirements of the ordinance, to be given six 6) months in which to comply. She does not recall this action being in the form of a motion, but rather a matter of discussion. She does not agree with the comment made that the council majority has directed the action being brought back, and feels it is in error. Acting Chief Kling responded, stating that said direction was based upon review of the previous council minutes and actions taken by the Council, which indicated that two companies were to serve on a rotational basis and the third is to handle the big rig situations. Councilmember Garcia stated that direction was given to approve the two smaller companies to provide the service on a rotational basis and that Freddie Mac's was to be used for the big rig service. At one point, the Council received a staff report which indicated that Budget Towing had not met the requirements that were outlined in the franchise agreement. It was then, that the Council requested that the ordinance be amended which would allow a 6 month grace period to meet compliance, whereby this would allow Budget Towing time to meet the necessary requirements. Councilmember Garcia feels that in the past, Budget Towing has been unfairly BIB] 37210-U01 2001-U02 CC-U02 MIN-U02 06-20-2001-U02 LG1-U03 LI1-U03 FO8420-U03 FO8421-U03 DO8499-U03 C4-U03 MINUTES1-U03 11/14/2001-U04 ADMIN-U04 BIB] 37245-U01 2001-U02 06-U02 20-U02 CC-U02 MIN-U02 LG1-U03 LI1-U03 FO8420-U03 DO8499-U03 C4-U03 MINUTES1-U03 11/14/2001-U04 ADMIN-U04 CITY-U05 COUNCIL-U05 MINUTES-U05 BIB] 37284-U01 2001-U02 06-U02 20-U02 CC-U02 MIN-U02 LG1-U03 LI1-U03 FO8420-U03 FO8621-U03 DO8499-U03 C4-U03 MINUTES1-U03 11/14/2001-U04 ADMIN-U04 CITY-U05 COUNCIL-U05 MINUTES-U05 2001 06 20 CC MINòw @˜‡) 2001 06 20 CC MINZFäZHs­ 2001 CC MIN 06-20-2001Hn City Council Minutes June 20, 2001 Page 8 targeted and in order to make amends and to assist the businesses within our community, which has been done in the past, it made sense to recommend these changes to the ordinance. Mayor Pro Tern Gair does not disagree with the order of action as explained by Councilmember Garcia however, she expressed concern with the perception. She also stated that she is disappointed that Mr. Gonzales of Budget Towing is making statements that he will soon become the city's exclusive towing service provider. In response to Mayor Pro Tern Gair's inquiry, Attorney Olvera stated that there may be a boundary/radius requirement in the ordinance stating the distance that a business may be located from the city's jurisdiction. Councilmember Pacheco stated that a company would need to be relatively close to the city in an effort to provide timely service. He also stated that it was his understanding that the Council approved two 2) service providers to serve the police department on a rotational basis and one that would provide big rig service. Mayor Lozano stated that it is not uncommon for a city to have exclusive providers, citing that the City of El Monte has only one provider for the entire city.
