CQ8-25-97
Page N3
• 0
Councilman Taylor stated that he does not see the justification in installing the 50' section
of red curb on the north side as requested by the businessowners. Mr. Taylor explained that there
is adequate on-site parking for this establishment and cars exiting the parking lot would usually
turn right, into the flow of traffic and on-coming traffic is visible. Mr. Taylor stated that red
curbing that section would be contradictory to the City's policy and that he is opposed to taking
the 50' section; however, he agrees with red curbing the south 30' section for visibility purposes.
MOTION BY COUNCILMAN TAYLOR, SECOND BY COUNCILMAN IMPERIAL
that the Council approve the installation of 30' of red curb south of 2542 N. San Gabriel
Boulevard and retain the 50' of parking on the north side. Vote resulted:
Yes:
Vasquez, Taylor, Bruesch, Clark, Vasquez
No:
None
Absent:
None
Abstain:
None

The Mayor suggested that staff monitor the parking situation.

TRANSPORTATION FOR ZAPOPAN SISTER CITY VISIT AND EXPO,
AUGUST 2$' 31, 1998
Juan Nunez, 2702 Del Mar, Rosemead, asked why the Sister City Committee funds were
not being used on this visit.
Mayor Bruesch responded that the Sister City Committee fund is paying for all of the
food, hotel accommodations and incidentals. Mayor Bruesch continued that this is more than a
routine visit as a commercial exposition from Zapopan will be held also. Mr. Bruesch stated that
the Mexican Embassy in Los Angeles is furnishing the food and entertainment for the Grand
Opening of the expo and this event will encourage communication between businesses and
promote tourism.
MOTION BY COUNCILMAN TAYLOR, SECOND BY COUNCILMAN IMPERIAL
that the Council approve the use of the necessary City equipment and authorize staff to contract
for transportation for the Sister City visit and the Getty Museum tour. Vote resulted:

VI. STATUS REPORTS - None
VH. MATTERS FROM OFFICIALS
Councilman Taylor inquired about the Walnut Grove off-ramp property, would the State
require the City, once the City purchases the property, to cleanup the soil from pollutants due to
cars exiting the freeway. Mr. Tripepi responded that since the Agency has to purchase that
property from the State at market value, we will request a clean soils report before recommending
that the Agency become involved in that sale.
