ORAL COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE AUDIENCE A. Mary Redd, 3323 N. Evelyn, Rosemead, stated that on repeated occasions the senior trips are sold out prior to sign-up dates and times at the Rosemead and Zapopan Community Centers. Ms. Redd pointed out that sign-ups for a particular senior trip were advertised from 9:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and when she arrived at the Rosemead Community Center at 9:00 a.m. on that day, the trip was already sold out, and at Zapopon also. Ms. Redd continued that she is opposed to the Ordinance before the Council proposing to meet once a month and if the Council is not listening to their constituents concerns, then perhaps we need new members. Councilmember Taylor and Mayor Pro Tern Imperial requested an explanation and memorandum of the registration procedures from the Director of Parks and Recreation. Mayor Clark questioned why more buses are not scheduled if seniors want to go on the trip. Michael Burbank, Director of Parks and Recreation responded that registration began on the advertised day and sign-ups were taken until the bus was filled; then a secondary back- up list was started. Mr. Burbank explained that a secondary bus was scheduled and that bus would pick up everyone on the secondary list as well as the people that had signed up at Zapopan Center. Mr. Burbank stated that at this time, it was unclear as to what date Ms. Redd tried to sign-up. Councilmember Taylor asked Ms. Redd what date did she try to sign-up. CC 9-24-96 Page 1 Ms. Redd responded that it was on the 11th at the Rosemead Community Center as stated on the flyer and that the second bus was already filled. Councilmember Bruesch asked what occurs should more then 2 buses be needed. Mr. Burbank responded that it depends on the popularity of the trip, as the buses are filled, another one can be scheduled. Mr. Burbank stated that the missing key in this discussion is which day did Ms. Redd sign-up, the 1 1 th or 12th as three people from Zapopan had signed-up on the waiting list for that trip. Mr. Burbank stated that he will research this concern further with staff. B. Helen Guarno, 7433 E. Garvey, Rosemead, stated that she resides at and is the manager of Park Monterey, a mobile home park, and explained the dangerous situation that exists on that street when trying to make a left turn, and that she has been involved in two traffic accidents at that site within the past two years. Ms. Guarno stated that the left turn pocket was removed when the street was beautified two years ago, leaving a small section clear for cars entering and exiting the mobile park which is too small for large vehicles trying to use this opening to turn left. Ms. Guarno continued that the other alternative requires additional driving and then making a U-turn, and that most of the tenants are the mobile park are elderly and need easy access to the park. Mrs. Mark McFarren, 7433 E. Garvey, Rosemead, added that this is the only entrance and exit, which is narrow and needs adequate protection and they should not have to drive another half block to make a left turn into a business or side street in order to turn right into the park. After discussion, it was the consensus of the Council that this item be placed on the October 3, 1996 Traffic Commission agenda for further study. 11. PUBLIC HEARINGS An explanation of the procedures for the conduct of the public hearing was presented by the City Attorney. The City Clerk then administered the oath to all those persons wishing to address the Council on any public hearing item. A. A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AN APPEAL OF A PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVAL OF A PERMIT TO OPERATE A RELIGIOUS FACILITY AT 2518 N. SAN GABRIEL BOULEVARD WITH SOME OFF-STREET PARKING LOCATED AT 2530 N. SAN GABRIEL BOULEVARD. A NEIGHBORING PROPERTY OWNER HAS FILED AN APPEAL REQUEST TO REVERSE THE PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVAL - RECOMMENDATION: AFFIRM PLANNING COMMISSION DECISION Frank Tripepi, City Manager, presented the staff report. The Mayor opened the Public Hearing for those wishing to speak in favor of this item. Peter Ngai, 22 E. Longden Avenue, Arcadia, applicant for this project, stated that he spoke with Mr. Fisher, the prior owner of the middle lot at 2524 San Gabriel, six or seven months ago regarding his plans to purchase the two surrounding lots and build a church and separate parking lot. Mr. Ngai stated that Mr. Fisher knew of the Planning Commission decision and is now appealing that decision to deliberately delay escrow closing to enable him to sell his property at a better price, rather than be forced to sell at the bankruptcy sale price that Mr. Ngai paid for his two lots. Mr. Ngai continued that once the church and parking lot is built he fears that whatever will be built in the middle lot will diminish their properties and that their project will improve the area. Mayor Clark asked those in the audience in favor of the project to stand up. Seven people stood up. CC 9-24-96 Page 2 • • Daniel Wong, 3227 E. Del Mar, Pasadena, Pastor of the Christ Chinese Alliance Church spoke in favor of the project and stated that the church will result in better Chinese citizens in that area. Kui Qing Jiang, 3351 Eckhart Avenue, Rosemead, speaking through an interpreter, stated that her daughter has belonged to the Christ Chinese Alliance Church for six years and she has reaped many benefits and urged the Council to uphold the Planning Commission decision. Danny Ku, 101 W. Imperial Highway, Architect for the project, stated that the church would be a welcome addition and enhance the neighborhood. At this time, those in opposition were invited to speak. David Brault, 5160 Birch Street, Newport Beach, Attorney representing Mr. Barclay, the property owner of 2524 San Gabriel Boulevard, stated that Mr. Barclay did not receive notice of the Planning Commission's Public Hearing of this item and that he (Mr. Brault) learned of the granting of the C.U.P after the fact. Mr. Brault clarified ownership of the property; Mr. Fisher is the Executive Vice President of the construction company that currently occupies that property, Mr. Barclay is the property owner. Mr. Brault continued that the building of the church and parking lot on either side would impair and impact the property value negatively. Mr. Brault stated that the owner believes that he has a "prescriptive easement" of common ownership as large delivery trucks have been gaining access to the construction company lot by using the north parcel for the past 35 years since the driveway grade at Mr. Barclay's lot is too steep and the lot too narrow to provide a turning radius. Mr. Brault summarized that granting the C.U.P. tonight will eliminate Mr. Barclay's easement and will negatively impact the property value. Councilmember Bruesch requested clarification of the history of the ownership of the three parcels. Mr. Brault responded that all three parcels were owned by Mr. Barclay's predecessor until three years ago, at which time Mr. Barclay purchased the middle lot and had control of the other two and that the middle lot is currently for sale. At this time, the Public Hearing was closed. Councilmember Bruesch verified that there were two opportunities for the public to address this item as it was before the Planning Commission twice. Mr. Bruesch requested a legal description of "prescriptive easement" from the City Attorney. Robert Kress, City Attorney, responded that "prescriptive easement" usually means a matter of tradition, there is no other way to gain access, or that is the way it was intended and will continue that way. Peter Lyons, Planning Director, added that the Title Report on the property did not indicate any easements. MOTION BY COUNCILMEMBER BRUESCH, SECOND BY COUNCILMEMBER TAYLOR that the Council uphold the Planning Commission decision and approve Conditional Use Permit 96-678, subject to the conditions of approval imposed by the Planning Commission on August 5, 1996. Councilmember Imperial stated that with all due respect to churches, there are many unanswered questions regarding the history of the easement and that a church should not be placed where it is going to create a problem in that area. Councilmember Bruesch stated that the easement usage is not the issue tonight, but is the church a proper usage of the C.U.P. in that zone. CC 9-24-96 Page 3 Councilmember Imperial responded that churches near apartment complexes create parking problems throughout the City, inconveniencing residents and businesses. Mr. Imperial asked what impact will this church have on the area. Mr. Lyons stated that there is sufficient parking for this site. Mr. Imperial referred to the 7th Day Adventist Church which uses all available street parking as far as a few blocks away on Saturdays. Councilmember Bruesch stated that the church is in an industrial-commercial area and not near a residential area. Mr. Lyons added that the nearest house is 3 blocks away. There being no further discussion, the question was called for and vote resulted: Yes: Vasquez, Taylor, Clark, Bruesch No: None Absent: None Abstain: Imperial The Mayor declared said motion duly carried and so ordered. Councilmember Imperial stated for the record that the reason for his abstention is because he is not sure they are going to have the parking they need. The Mayor declared said motion duly carried and so ordered. B. A PUBLIC HEARING AMENDING THE ZONING MAP FROM P: PARKING TO R-2; LIGHT MULTIPLE RESIDENTIAL - 2739 N. JACKSON AVENUE AND ORDINANCE NO. 772 - AMENDING ROSEMEAD ZONING MAP LAND USE DESIGNATION FROM "P; PARKING" TO R-2; LIGHT MULTIPLE RESIDENTIAL" FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2739 N.

The Mayor opened the Public Hearing for those wishing to speak in favor of this item. Edmond Chang, 1108 S. Garfield, Alhambra, owner of the property, stated that he is present to answer any questions. At this time, those in opposition were invited to speak. There being no one else wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed. MOTION BY COUNCILMEMBER TAYLOR, SECOND BY COUNCILMEMBER BRUESCH that the Council introduce and place Ordinance No. 772 on first reading, and schedule the item for a second reading at the meeting of October 8, 1996.

ORDINANCE NO. 769 - AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD SPECIFYING THE REGULAR MEETINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL - ADOPT The following Ordinance was presented to the Council for adoption: ORDINANCE NO. 769 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD SPECIFYING THE REGULAR MEETINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL VERBATIM DIALOGUE FOLLOWS: MARY REDD: I think I stated it before. I'll give my address 3323 N. EVELYN. You know, I really would like for you to continue the way you are. I hate to see you, you know, just to cut down these meetings, really. You do have a lot here and sometimes you go quite late. I just think that this is a very necessary thing. 1 hate for you to give up, you know, or start cutting on them. It's bad enough you cut down to four days for some of our things and on that Friday, believe it or not, with all these items coming up, you know, as it did that day that I fell over there, it was also on a Friday. I wish that you would reconsider that and stay on. We need you. , COUNCILMEMBER ROBERT BRUESCH: Mary. I said last time, I would be the first one to rescind this if we started having agendas that go on until 11 or 12 at night. I don't believe in that. This is just a chance to see how this works. If the agendas get too long, we'll move back to the way it's always been. MAYOR MARGARET CLARK: I have some comments I want to make on this and I did vote against this last time and since then there have been some things that have come up. For example, at the Contract Cities Conference, twice, it was mentioned that the Constitution Revision Commission... Don Benninghoven, Sadelia Sanders, both mentioned they would like to bring that back and implement some of the things that are in it. One of the things in there that I am very much opposed to is regional government. They basically want to have community charters which would have precedence over cities, and to me, when we take a position like this where we're saying we only need to have one meeting a month, we're just playing right into that philosophy that we're saying we are not as necessary as we were before. We're "ramping down" so to speak. To me that sends a wrong message to the policy makers. I think we need to have the City Hall open twice a month for us to hear ...we had the example last time, Alba Patterson came down on crutches and complained about the Auto Auction and since then we've had quite a bit of change. A lot of enforcement down there, a lot of good things. She was speaking for her neighborhood. I want the residents to be able to say "Oh, it's a second Tuesday, I think I'll go down", rather then to have to figure out which Tuesday we're open. Another thing I have a problem with is that there is legislation coming up that is tremendously important for cities to be watching. We are in a situation... right now, the legislature is on recess, but when this would take effect and we go to one meeting, basically, it would be in January when they are back up there. We're going to have at least 26 new faces just from term limits - new people that don't have a clue about local government. We need to be on top of bills that are coming down. And, the comment was made about a bill that we want to look at, we can always call a special meeting. Well, I'm a sensitive person, I'm not going to, for one bill, I'm not going to call the whole City Hall to have a meeting. I'm just not going to do that. So, I won't. It'll just go by the wayside. If we have a meeting, I'll put it on the agenda and we'll talk about it. I'm just not going to do that, I know myself and I just know the rest of us. And the other thing that is very ...that's coming right now, they call if devolution. It's where the Federal government is giving block grants to states and filtering down to cities to take over a lot of the jobs that the Federal CC 9-24-96 Page 7 • • government does. The Welfare Reform Bill is going to be right on our doorstep. I saw a cartoon last week where it has Uncle Sam sneaking away and he has on the doorstep a baby, and that's the cities, it's the cities doorstep and it's welfare reform. It's sitting right on there on the step and it says, "Good Luck". That means we're going to be in charge of implementing this program and this is just the wrong time to be ramping down the times when we are meeting. We have electricity deregulation that is going to impact cities tremendously. I'm very concerned about the fact that that power outage was due to some tree branches. The heat... COUNCILMEMBER JOE VASQUEZ: Six fishes wasn't it. CLARK: Well, I've heard two different things, but the problem was it was a very minor thing. I was told by the Edison people that it was the heat that caused the lines to sag, got into some tree branches and caused the power outage just in that one place. But, because they didn't make some phone calls, the Bonneville Power Company did not make the phone calls that could have prevented the "domino" effect. We had about one-third of the United States out. That is something that is going to be a concern on deregulation. Who is going to be in charge? Is it the service operator, the guy that is in charge of the grid, who is going to be asking is this important. If not us, who's going to be looking out for the residents. We need to be there talking about it. I'm concerned about things like this Smog Check II that is going to really impact the people in our community that drive older cars, people that don't have a clue how it's going to impact them until their smog certificates come due. REDD: The other day I was trying to get to you, to a couple of you, I left my number. Because at the time, there was a voting going on at school and I wanted your input on it because it concerns your district, your schools. Bruesch should be aware of this too, they voted down to meet or beat the State's standards. Can you believe that. Our School Board... CLARK: To do what? REDD: They voted against it. CLARK: Against what? COUNCILMEMBER GARY TAYLOR: Madam Mayor. I think Mr. Vasquez has something... VASQUEZ: I could hear all your frustration in your voice, Maggie. Recently I've been talking to a number of citizens and even though they don't come to our meetings, there were saying that they wish it would stay to two meetings a month in case of things happening. Therefore, I am going to vote No on this. I REDD: Meeting or beating the school's standards set by the State. Can you believe a Board doing that? And, four people approved it. My daughter was the only one that just said No. You can teach these! children. Why do they have that negative attitude toward our school district. CLARK: Good question REDD: And that should be an issue with you people because this is your City, and for them to still think the way they did when I left them because I was with the Garvey School District years ago and that's why I left it and went to Alhambra because it was more of a team effort over there and they had that initiative for kids that they were good from the beginning and they were going to be good. And, over here they've always had the...they used to say it, some of the teachers there, that's why I quit the district years ago. And I said, "How can they say that", and they said, "How can we make chicken salad out of chicken s....... ~ TAYLOR: Madam Mayor. You're correct with a lot of situations coming up. We have some things to get straightened out, corrections that need to be done. From our action, we have the employee negotiations coming up that are going to take time. I think we need the second meeting on a regular basis. We have to get the business straightened out about the employees that were left with no pension funding. There's a lot of things that are going to becoming up. And, this will turn into management by crisis. One City Council meeting ...I've I CC 9-24-96 Page 8 • • been here and seen so many items come in on deadline votes. We've got to have this in by the next meeting and for whatever reason, staff gets the information and once a month if we ask a question for any item, that's going to be another month or we're going to have to call special meetings. I honestly feel that it will turn into management by crisis. MAYOR PRO TEM JAY IMPERIAL: Madam Mayor. You know, if people would have taken the attitude years ago that man couldn't fly, we wouldn't have airplanes today. If they would have taken the attitude that mules were the only way to travel, we wouldn't have cars today. My suggestion was to put this on a trial basis. If we have a problem, we could immediately take care of this and go back to our normal schedule. I don't like the drift I'm getting like we're putting ourselves into a management crisis mode. I really don't like that. If this is so important, and very well could be, but we'll never know unless we try it. If this was so important then why did we go to four days a week? And, I was the only one that voted against it on this Council. Why don't we just go back to five days a week? TAYLOR: Mr. Imperial. I was there the first time, I voted No against it and I'm sorry I wasn't there at the second meeting when you brought it up after you got back on the Council. I would have voted No on it with you. Sorry I wasn't at that meeting. But, at this time I'd like to make the Motion that we do not enact Ordinance 769 and we keep the City Council meetings as they currently are. VASQUEZ: Second that motion. CLARK: We have a motion and a second to go back to two meetings a month. TAYLOR: Not change it. CLARK: Not change it. TAYLOR: The motion is that we do not... it's a Yes vote if we do not accept this Ordinance 769. Taken from voting slip: Yes: Vasquez, Clark, Taylor, Bruesch No: None Absent: None Abstain: Imperial IMPERIAL: I would the record to show that my Abstention is because we haven't tried anything so how can we tell it's going to fail. CLARK: I would like to have these in the Minutes verbatim. TAYLOR: I agree with that and also at the last meeting, we didn't get the Minutes, but I'd ask that comments be in there and I hope that they'll be verbatim from that meeting. END VERBATIM DIALOGUE.
