BRUESCH: Second. TAYLOR: Madam Mayor. Question. The first paragraph on this states that since the City of Rosemead became a member of the Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) we have received a number of calls from former employees who have expressed an interest in this. How long have these employees been employed by the City of Rosemead? Who were they? CC 2-9-93 Page #2 0 0 FRANK G. TRIPEPI, CITY MANAGER: Mr. Taylor. If I might, Mr. Bob Gutierrez, presently the City Manager of La Puente; I think he was employed with us for approximately three years. Bob Dickey, who was the Assistant Manager for about seven or eight years and went on and became the City Manager of Walnut and from there went to the City of Bell Gardens and now is with the City of Santa Monica. Mr. Gary Chicots, I believe he was with us about six years, he's now with the City of Lawndale. Howard Chambers, the former Assistant City Manager, my predecessor here, who's now the City Manager of Lakewood. Those are the folks and again I might as is stated in the memo, this is at the complete cost of those former employees. The City of Rosemead does not pay anything toward this. TAYLOR: This means all employees. TRIPEPI: All employees who went from the City of Rosemead to another PERS organization. TAYLOR: So, in the future, if an employee that comes back in a month or two, they could also buy back whatever time. TRIPEPI: If they're in a PERS organization now... if they left here and went to a PERS organization, that's correct. TAYLOR: Now, what about the time that they had acquired? What happened to the money that was set aside for their retirement? TRIPEPI: That retirement... that is in the...that retirement is...that amount is set aside in the fund which we were required to leave in here.by the Equitable in order to pay any future debt that might come to that plan. If you will recall, some time back when we did...I think it was the second actuary, the Council was provided with a_list of some administrative folks, excuse me, an administrative sheet that showed amounts that were credited to employees who worked here for perhaps two years up to seven years as Mr. Dickey had and the Council had an option of buying those folks out for that minimal amount and closing the books on it so they wouldn't be carried. If they're carried, they're entitled to a nominal amount from that retirement plan at the time they turn sixty-five years of age because that was the age required under that plan. It runs from... as I recall, Mr. Taylor, I think there was some of them were $28, $25 to $30 a month up to I'm going to say maybe $130, $140, it depended on the time that the employee had here and of course what his salary was. TAYLOR: The fact that we did have a program while they were employees of the City and money was set aside for that and that money is still set aside for their retirement, I can't vote for this because they did have the service while they were with the City and I don't know of any corporations or businesses that allow past employees to come back at later dates and buy back credits for retirement, so-I intend to vote no on this particular item. TRIPEPI: That's fine. McDONALD: Madam Mayor. You're worried about the explicit statement and state law on everything else, Gary. This is laid out specifically in the PERS law. TAYLOR: I know it's in there. McDONALD: And they buy it back and what they do is they buy it back and they also have to pay the actuarial costs over that period of time so it's even more than they would have paid prior to. They'll have to pay to get those years of service. TAYLOR: This allows them, if I understand it correctly, if some of the employees were six years or seven years, that credit is applied to their early retirement age. McDONALD: They apply for service credit for those years. Yes, it applies to... CC 2-9-93 Page #3 TAYLOR: It's added to what they have, so, in reality they can retire in this case, six or seven years earlier because this gives them... McDONALD: No. TAYLOR: ...the credits. McDONALD: No, what they do is at the age 65, instead of having let's say 21 years credit, they will have 27 years credit and it gives them a little bit more on the retirement system because they get the credit for those years. It does not let them retire any earlier. TRIPEPI: Use as an example Bob Gutierrez. He was here for three years. He had a year and a half prior with the City of Downey when he came here. So, because he didn't have five years when he left Downey, he was forced to withdraw from PERS at that time. When he went from here to La Habra Heights he bought back his year and a half at Downey. He spent eight years in La Habra Heights, let's say, so you add the year and a half at Downey, that's nine and a'half years. If he gets to pick up three years from Rosemead, he will now have on the books 12 1/2 years of credit toward the PERS retirement program. But he again will have to pay for that time just as he did in the City of Downey. I believe they set that up on payments for him and he made payments every month because he had to pay both the employer and the employee share in order to do that. BRUESCH: Madam Mayor. You hear a lot about double dipping in terms of retirement and fat retirement policies and so forth and so on but we also hear a lot about people who thought they had provided for their retirement and all we have to do is look down at what we were talking about earlier on in the trailer parks, people who thought they had adequate amount of money in their retirement system and then because of inflation and other things, find out that ...the comment was made, eating cat food. I don't see anything wrong with this, having a person be able to insure against inflation, basically this is what IT is. I move the approval. McDONALD: Second. CLARK: It's been moved and seconded to approve. Please vote. Yes: Bruesch, Clark, Vasquez, McDonald No: Taylor Absent: None Abstain: None Resolution No. 93-07 was adopted and Ordinance No. 727 was introduced on its first reading and reading in full was waived. McDONALD: Madam Mayor. It amazes me how Mr. Taylor can sit in the Redevelopment Agency meeting and not support something because it's not specifically laid out in the law,,that he wants it there, clear, precise, concise and then come out here in a public meeting with the City Council and look at something that is laid out specifically in -the State law and,he not support that. TAYLOR: Madam Mayor. My comment was that there's two standards, more or less. McDONALD: Apparently you have two standards. TAYLOR: The private sector which makes up the great majority of the working people does not have this advantage. I believe in the responsibility of the City to protect all current employees and all past employees. While they were employees they received the benefits that were in effect at that time, while they were employees. I talked to other Councilmembers from other cities and when the program was brought to us to join PERS we were having some problems with our other insurance companies, were we not, Frank? As far as... CC 2-9-93 Page #4 TRIPEPI: Absolutely. TAYLOR: Did they in fact go bankrupt? What happened? TRIPEPI: Yes, sir. Promed went bankrupt. TAYLOR: They went bankrupt so we got into a program and I don't criticize joining PERS and such but it is in the words of one of these councilmembers, it's the Cadillac of the program. It has tremendous benefits and I don't criticize that either but I think that we met our obligation to all of our former employees while they were employees. Money was set aside for the retirement programs and I don't believe because it's a State program that allows the State or public employees to go back and get that when the private sector doesn't have those kind of options. And Mr. McDonald is correct. We have a copy of the section of the law that allows it, I just disagree with the concept when we met our obligation and I'd like that in the minutes verbatim so it's clearly understood I'm not voting against any of the individuals. END VERBATIM DIALOGUE C.

D. ORDINANCE NO. 728 - REPEALING ORDINANCE NO. 724 AND RESTORING THE PRIOR OFFICE HOURS OF CITY HALL - INTRODUCE The following ordinance was presented to the Council for introduction: ORDINANCE NO. 728 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD REPEALING ORDINANCE NO. 724 AND RESTORING THE PRIOR OFFICE HOURS OF CITY HALL VERBATIM DIALOGUE FOLLOWS: McDONALD: Move to deny. BRUESCH: Second. Madam Mayor. May I speak on this item? I think it's well known on the Council that I was the first one to bring this up and the reason I brought this up was my feeling about complying with the AQMP, the air quality plan that we have to have in place in June of this year. And I keep on referring to the menu. Well, I brought the menu with me tonight. I have the menu of items that a CC 2-9-93 Page #5 0 0 BRUESCH CONTINUES: city can select as parts of their air quality compliance plan. I'm not going to read you all of the ideas but I said last time that perhaps this was a less painless way of going but I do-have a couple of them I want to share with you to show you what I'm talking about. Number 26, establish a local ordinance which allows for parking reductions if use implements transportation demand management measures. In other words, give a developer less parking if he has some type of a way to bring employees in in a carpool or staggered hours. Preferential parking on-site amenities, city shall adopt an ordinance that require employees to provide on-site employee services such as eating areas, lounges, banking and cafeterias on all major developments. I.'m just picking out ones that I really... CLARK: Excuse me. May I interject? Don't we'already have a lunchroom here in City Hall? Is that what they're talking about? BRUESCH: No. No. What I'm saying is, this is the if we don't have a menu here of things, this is what we will require every development to do in our City. This is one of the things. Every development that had "X" number of employees, right now it's 100 but in 1994 it's going to be 50, would be required to do this. CLARK: Now, just a minute. I need clarification. We're talking about City Hall, the number of employees in City Hall, correct? BRUESCH: No. TAYLOR: Your point's well taken, Madam Mayor. I agree with you. Mr. Bruesch is reading for major projects and developments and it's not relevant to the City of Rosemead City Hall. BRUESCH: I wish you would look through here. This is part of the menu of things we're supposed to do. Part of... one of the things in here, one of the sections is what will the City do. There's about eight different things and one of them is a staggered hours and reduced work week. The other 37 or eight things that we're going to be selecting from are these things that are going to be required within our city. TAYLOR: Madam Mayor. I believe that the City of Rosemead is a small enough community and the guidelines that Mr. Bruesch is referring to does have a proper place to be used. I don't believe that they apply to the City of Rosemead City Hall and I intend to vote for this particular item as far as repealing it. The obligation of this City is to serve the residents of this community to the fullest extent possible and that to me is the five-day work week where they can come in any of those five days. BRUESCH: Madam Mayor. The obligation of this City right now also is to comply with air quality plan and if we don't comply ...Madam Mayor, you were at the meeting where the gentleman said that we wouldn't lose part of our gas tax money, we would lose all of it. What is that? About $310,000? TAYLOR: That's if you don't meet the requirements. You said a 100 people. You said 50 people. We're talking about 15 or 20 at City Hall. BRUESCH: We are not talking about 15 or 20 people. We have a choice of making an air quality plan. VASQUEZ: Madam Mayor. We all know how everyone stands here. I'm the one who asked for this to be put back on the agenda because I needed some more time to reach out and talk to some more of our constituents and we do have a motion and a second and in fact I woke at 3:00 this morning just thinking about this because I've been thinking about it for the last number of days and let's just vote on it right now. CLARK: Well, I'd like a little more clarification from Mr. Rodriguez. I know you attend all of the AQMD things like that. What are we required to do now as far;as trip reduction? CC 2-9-93 Page #6 . At,RODRIGUEZ, CITY ENGINEER: Actually, I should probably clarify that I am very familiar with what we're going to have to do as it relates to the business community. As Mr. Bruesch was specifying I'm going to be bringing back an ordinance to this Council next meeting to consider a TDM ordinance but it really affects the business community and really right now everything that I've been attending I've been concentrating on how it affects our,ordinances for development. I really can't comment on how it affects City Hall because I honestly haven't been reading that much on how municipalities themselves, City Hall operation itself, should handle it only how it affects development and that's really what I've been concentrating on. CLARK: I would like to make a comment on the article ...I don't know who put it in our boxes but I thought it was very interesting and I had read it in the paper that says that the air quality is the worst on Saturdays they're finding out. And the article actually says that... TAYLOR: I can't believe... what, you're saying, Saturday and Sunday, for the life of me I can't figure out how that can happen. FRANK G. TRIPEPI, CITY MANAGER: We heard that at a hearing. Someone brought that up. McDONALD: It was in the paper and there was a pie shapes and over the last 20 years they said they've made some head way, carpooling, there's vanpooling. All you have to do is look down at Edison and see how many people come in on the vans there. CLARK: But the article says Burraco speculated that 4-day workweeks and carpooling cut automobile emissions on weekdays but raise them on the weekends. And just using common sense that's very possible. I can see how it could happen. If you're working an 8-hour day, you're not quite that tired, you're going to stop maybe on your way home and get a few groceries, do the errands that you would normally be doing. If you're going to work a 10-hour day and be a couple, one or two hours on the road, you're shot. You're not going to have time to do those errands so you're probably going to do them all on the weekend. Maybe Friday's a day to crash all day and Saturday's the day to go tripping around. So, I can see from just a logical standpoint and I don't see how the explanation is for the weekends but I think that the experts are finding that maybe they don't know it all as far as... MCDONALD: Madam Mayor. What you're doing is looking at what has taken place on the 5-day workweek. They've cut that down. Now, they've got the level that isn't even as high on the weekends as it was prior to on the weekdays so now they're going to have to come up with some solutions for that. But what's happening is they've reduced everything. They weren't looking at Saturday and Sunday as a reduction time because they say all the masses are on the road Monday through Friday and what they've done they cut down the weekday flows of emissions and they haven't worked on Saturday and Sunday because they at this point not that many people work on Saturday and Sunday, they're going out for recreation and everything so if they really want to do that on a Saturday-Sunday basis they're going to have to come up with regulations just like they do during the week and I think they should be commended for the reductions that they've had in the 5-day workweek as far as the emissions are concerned and if you look at the emissions, we're far less than we were 15 years ago and that's because of the efforts that have been put forth on the 5-day workweek. They haven't worked on seven days. Maybe they missed the boat when they didn't... that wasn't something they wanted to see because they looked at the freeways on you know during the week but getting to the point now you can't go anywhere on Saturday and Sunday without the freeway just about being as crowded as it was on the workday. But I'd call for the question. BRUESCH: Madam Mayor. Just one quick comment. Control Measure 2A, 1991 AQMP Control Measures, I quote local governments will adopt one trip reduction ordinance that includes specific individual provisions traffic reduction targets for ride-share, transit incentives, CC 2-9-93 Page #7 • • . , BRUESCH CONTINUES: alternate workweeks, telecommuting, and other trip reduction strategies. Expansion of this regulation 15 is to cover employers with 25-99 employees and multi-tenant buildings with 25 plus employees if previous program is ineffective by January 1, 1995. We were, in the San Gabriel valley, in non-compliance with State ARB regulations in one or more of the six pollutants on 148 days last year. Almost half the year so they're saying here that if we don't cut this down to zero by 1995, in two years, then we too will have to go under these provisions. And that is one of the ordinances they are asking you to make part of your ordinance, one of the provisions. CLARK: I personally think this is at the expense of the residents who need City Hall open so and I've said all my comments on the last time. So, I believe the question's been called for. Please vote. The motion was to what? KRESS: Deny introduction. McDONALD: So, what would a NO vote be? TAYLOR: NO vote means that we're not going to approve your motion. McDONALD: A YES vote would be for the denial. TAYLOR: Yes. CLARK: A YES vote will be to go to the 4-10 workweek. KRESS: A YES vote sustains the status quo. TAYLOR: His motion was to deny the appeal and a NO vote... KRESS: Correct. Vote taken from voting slip. Yes: Bruesch, Vasquez, McDonald No: Taylor, Clark Absent: None Abstain: None A YES vote confirms his The Mayor declared said motion duly carried and so ordered. BRUESCH: Madam Mayor. I'd like the comments to be put in the Minutes verbatim please. END VERBATIM DIALOGUE IV.
