VII.MATTERS FROM OFFICIALS
A. COUNCILMAN BRUESCH
1. Asked when the youth gang survey information would be
available.
2. Asked staff to investigate an emergency identification
bracelet program for senior citizens in use in the City of South
Pasadena and report back to the Council.
3. REQUESTED THAT THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT BE ENTERED INTO
THE MINUTES VERBATIM:
"I want to go on record and I want my words verbatim in the
Minutes. I'm proud of this Council and the way they handled the
trash contracts. At the offset it was said in a,public meeting
that we would study these proposals on their merits. And that
we would not meet with any particular trash hauler who was
proposing a contract for us and this Council stuck to their guns
and did not do that. Now, that's very unusual in city politics
that city council people don't meet face to face with
contractors over,a cup of coffee or a dinner but we did not and
I think this Council had at the forefront of being as objective
as possible, objective as possible when considering these
contracts for the public good. I know that many of the other
council people as I did, ate, drank and slept trash contracts
for two months. I mean there wasn't a free moment in my life
for about six weeks where I didn't have a contract in my lap
reading this and I know I speak for other members of this
Council. We had specific things that we asked for, we had
specific desires that we wished for in the contract that met
what we perceived as complaints had been registered from over
the last 15-20 years and judging from looking back at the
minutes which I did this weekend very carefully, we had specific
desires and we gave each of the four final contracts two chances
to meet those specific demands and we chose those, that
contractor who in our minds, met the desires of what we saw as
being important to the consumer, to the citizens of Rosemead. I
can't state strongly enough how proud I am to work with a
Council that took that much caution so that they would not get
into this pettiness, in and out, between contractors and
themselves. And I just want to give my colleagues my
congratulations for a job well done."
B. MAYOR 114PERIAL
1. Directed staff to investigate the holding of a special
election in November, consolidated with the School Districts, for
