CC-B AMENDMENT TO MODERN SERVICE AGREEMENT Councilman Taylor stated that he personally would not be bothered by the 5:00 a.m., amendment instead of the present time.of 6:00 a.m. time to begin trash pick-up in the City; however, he did wonder what other alternatives that Modern Service.might have to the change of time for pick-up of trash. He inquired if Mr. Griegorian had any stand-by truck available and if they had an extra truck they could get that many more trucks to the dump during the day. He did have reservations about the 5:00 a.m., pick-up time for the residents of the City. Mayor Tury stated that most everyone has those same reser- vations; however, the alternative would be to pay additional to have the trucks ship the trash further if the trucks are available, and also take.the chance of the trucks missing a day of dumping. .Councilman Taylor inquired how many trucks does Modern Service own or have available not just for the City of Rosemead? Mayor Tury stated that he did not know. Frank G. Tripepi,.City Manager, stated that he did not know at the present time. The last time there was an audit was quite awhile ago, and he would have to check the files, and would have to contact Modern Services to see if those figures had changed since then. Councilman Imperial stated that starting earlier would be disturbing a lot of people in the community. Councilman Bruesch stated that he felt that the longer trips and the higher costs are inevitable since eventually the dump will close down; however, his main concern was would this lead. to a requirement to renegotiate a new contract with Modern Service. Mayor Tury stated that the Contract, as it is written, the City is responsible for all those additional charges. The rates are frozen to the residents at $5.25 regardless what the rates are to the City. The residents will not be penalized other than it might disturb them early in the morning. Councilman Taylor requested information from Modern Service regarding the amount of trucks they own and how they are assigned before making a decision on this amendment tonight and see if there are'other options or alternatives. CM 10-22-85 Page #5 Mayor Tury stated that this item would be deferred to the next meeting to see what other options are available to the City. Councilman Bruesch stated that he felt that no matter what the decision on this item is, there will be a rapidly spiraling expense to the City for trash hauling. CC-C TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT SAN GABRIEL BLVD.,AND DELTA Councilman Taylor questioned the cost fees for this project which is the installation of one signal. He felt that the cost of construction administration and inspection for 30 working days in the amount of $8,200. was excessive. Ed Cline, Traffic Engineer, stated that the project is more involved than just the installation of a signal. He stated that a modification to the traffic island has been proposed and has been included in the design and of course, into the inspection. Councilman Taylor stated that he did not have a problem with the project at all; however, he is involved with a project that is 170,000 square feet in four different buildings and the inspec- tor comes out once a week for an hour to an hour and half and they walk through the project for inspections. He felt that in comparison.that this figure was too high. Ed Cline stated that this cost is also for the variety of administration duties involved regarding the construction of the project. MOTION BY MAYOR TURY, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN BRUESCH that the traffic actuated two-phase traffic signal at San Gabriel and Delta Avenue be installed, and approved the traffic commis- sions recommendation and be referred to the Rosemead Redevelop- ment Agency for funding. Vote resulted: AYES: Councilmen Bruesch, Cleveland, Imperial, and Mayor Tury NAYES: Councilman Taylor ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None Whereupon the Mayor declared said.motion duly carried and so ordered. CC-E RED CURB AT 8923 MISSION DRIVE Councilman Bruesch stated that he felt the customers of that market should be allowed to park in front of the market rather than using the marked lanes. He felt that it was safer to be parked in front of that market and did not want the red curb. Ed Cline, Traffic Engineer, stated that the request of the merchant was to install a green curb; however, the Traffic Commission in reviewing the matter, decided that green curb would ordinarily be reserved for public buildings and things of that nature. They recommended the short piece of red curb to simply improve the manuevering as they back out. Councilman Taylor requested a clarification on the diagram presented to the Council. Ed Cline stated that the diagram was not accurate-and a little out of scale. Mayor Tury suggested that this item be deferred and be brought back to the next Council Meeting, and during the interim period the other properties owners be contacted to see what their require- ments are. There being no objection, it was so ordered. CM 10-22-85 Page #6 CC-F APPROVAL OF BID PACKAGE FOR LOW INTEREST AND DEFERRED LOAN PROGRAM AND REQUEST TO SEEK BIDS Councilman Taylor requested that this item be removed from the consent calendar because he had to vote "no" on this parti- cular funding. MOTION BY COUNCILMAN IMPERIAL, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN BRUESCH that the bid.package for low interest and deferred loans be ap- proved and authorization be granted to seek bids. Vote resulted: AYES: Councilmen Bruesch, Cleveland, Imperial and Mayor Tury. NAYES: Councilman Taylor ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None Whereupon the Mayor declared said motion duly carried and so ordered. Councilman Taylor requested an up-date from the staff on how much money is in the bank which guarantee the loans for the homes that had home improvements made on them. CC-K APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT WITH COMPUTRAN/CABLE TV CONSTRUCTION MONITORING Councilman Taylor felt that the Council needs to have some input in this particular contract with Computran. Mayor Tury stated that the contract had been scaled down because he had felt that it was a little expensive in its ori- ginal concept; however, if there are specific areas that the City wants covered by the contract, they will be able to handle it. Councilman Taylor requested a breakdown of the expenditures, and he felt that a twice a month inspection would be desireable instead of once a month. He stated that he wanted this consultant to review for approval the major system components of the mater- ials, plans and specs. He felt that this would give the City the feeling of security in knowing there is someone up front that has checked it out, and if there are potential problems that they may know about, the City will be prepared for and be apprised of. Mayor Tury stated that he felt that this company could pro- vide very expert service to whatever degree that this Council decides to pay for. He personally, felt that this was a very important and needed service. He requested that the City Manager put together with the help of Computran a total comprehensive inspection checking package, exactly what they would recommend if they were doing it first class. Then the Council can take a look at the costs and pick and choose what they want to pay for and have a service for the City. Councilman Bruesch stated that some time ago, he had inquired about state of the art, and if the City was going to rely on the franchisee or who. He felt that this was a good way to find out if the City is getting the state of the art. However, he does not feel that the contract goes far enough because he was in favor of setting up a commmunity access committee to oversee the operation of this franchise after Computran is done. He stated that the pub- lic is going to use it and he felt that they should have a right to oversee it. He stated that Computran had stated that could be part of their service to the City of Rosemead. Mayor Tury stated that they are capable of doing anything in the Cable business that the City is willing to pay for, and again reiterated his request for amore comprehensive package at the next meeting. There being no objection, this item was deferred to the next meeting. CM 10-22-85 Page #7 CC-L APPROVAL OF ROSEMEAD CITY EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT SYSTEM CONTRACT Councilman Taylor inquired what the actual vested period was in this contract. Dennis Graves,.Consultant with Milliman and Robertson, stated that there is a 100% vesting after five years of service. Councilman Taylor inquired how much the termination benefit would be for someone who has been vested and what percentage. Mr. Graves stated that it would be 2% times the years of ser- vice times the average monthly earnings, highest five years earn- ings. Councilman Taylor questioned if someone after five years of service could take the money out upon termination of his employ- ment. Mr. Graves stated that the benefit payment would be deferred until what would have been the participant's normal qualification date, which is 65. If the participant has 10 years of service, by the time he reaches the age of 55, and may elect an early retirement benefit, but would take an early retirement reduction. The Council has the option to pay lump sum benefits, and until you exercise that option, you need not pay anyone that option. The Plan only provides for annuity benefits, monthly benefits, and they start no' earlier than age 55. Frank G. Tripepi, City Manager, inquired what the early re- tirement penalty was. Mr. Graves stated that it would be.57 a year. Frank G. Tripepi, City Manager, stated that then it would be a 50% reduction if someone took early retirement at 55 instead of 65 years. Councilman Bruesch inquired what the management fee was on the annuity. Mr. Graves stated that the contract with Equitable has to do with the funding of the plan, this issue has nothing to do with him; however, the City could pay the monthly benefits out of the fund, and the fees as far as investment management have been spelled out. The Annual investment management fee would be .35% and the monthly fee would be 1/12 of that amount. Councilman Bruesch inquired if 'the retirement plan could be approved and then at a later time go through the other Invest- ment plans. Mayor Tury stated that the investment plan would be for the new money being put in and the Council will have the opportunity to indicate how the money should be invested. Mr. Graves stated that this study should be done with an Equitable Account man. Councilman Taylor inquired about the exclusions and limita- tions clause in the contract on page 16 and then on page 8 re- garding late retirement, and felt that clarification was needed. Mr. Graves stated that it means that once someone receives benefits then he no longer accrues benefits, however, if they return to work for less than 40 hours a month, they can still continue to get benefits. Councilman Taylor inquired about the maximum retirement benefit of $90,000 annually on page 16. Mr. Graves stated that both pages 16 and 17 are pure boiler plate, and are required by the Internal Revenue Code. CM 10-22-85 Page #8 • • Councilman Taylor inquired why the $90,000 figure is in the contract, when no one makes $90,000. Mr. Graves stated that figure was in there because it was required by the Internal Revenue Code. This is not directed to the City of Rosemead, but to most plans. It is directed at plans where the Government felt that some peoples benefits were too high. Congress said that you will not pay a benefit of over $90,000 a year period. . Councilman Taylor inquired what was going to be done as far as a clarification of what Equitable Life is going to do with the investments. Mayor Tury stated that they will come to the City and ex- plain what the options are, and the Council will have a choice on those options. Councilman Bruesch stated that he would appreciate it if Mr. Foutz could be included in that meeting to walk through some of the details. Mayor Tury stated that Mr. Foutz has been involved with the Retirement System since it was first started and he would be in- cluded in the meeting. The following Resolution was presented for adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 85-50 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF GROUP ANNUITY CONTRACT NO. AC 2529A THE EQUITABLE LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY OF THE UNITED STATES MOTION BY COUNCILMAN BRUESCH, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN IMPERIAL that Resolution No. 85-50 be adopted, and the Investment Agreement and the Retirement Plan Document be approved. Vote resulted: UPON ROLL CALL ALL COUNCILMEMBERS PRESENT VOTED AYE. The Mayor declared said motion duly carried and so ordered. Councilman Taylor inquired when the meeting with Equitable would be. Mayor Tury stated that it would be as soon as necessary. VII. MATTERS FROM OFFICIALS A. SUPPORT OF ASSEMBLY JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 52 RELATIVE TO NUCLEAR CRISIS CONTROL CENTER Councilman Imperial stated that Assembly Joint Resolution No. 52 passed through the State Senate and the State Assembly, a Committee from the League of California Cities gave it their endorsement .and Sunday, the California Contract Cities Association gave its endorsement and he urged the Rosemead City Council to endorse this Resolution. The following Resolution No. 85-49 was presented for adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 85-49 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD SUPPORTING ASSEMBLY JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 52 WHICH CALLS FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF JOINT NUCLEAR CRISIS CONTROL CENTERS MOTION BY COUNCILMAN TAYLOR, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN BRUESCH that Resolution No. 85-49 be adopted. Vote resulted: UPON ROLL CALL ALL COUNCILMEMBERS PRESENT VOTED AYE. The Mayor declared said motion duly carried and so ordered. CM 10-22-85 Page A9 B. WHEEL CHAIRS FOR COMMUNITY CENTER Mayor Tury requested staff to check into the possibility of providing wheel chairs for the Community Center, and this item be brought back to the next Council Meeting with a staff recom- mendation. C. Councilman Bruesch commented that there had been some flooding going on on Angelus, and he felt that every time it rained there was rain coming up the doorways. Councilman Taylor suggested that Angelus be put on the next Agency Meeting Agenda. D. Councilman Taylor requested an update on the Handyman Home Improvement Program, listing the names of all the parti- cipants, and a copy of the'requirements for those that are allowed to receive that funding. E. Councilman Taylor stated that regarding the Dial A' Ride Program there has been some complaints that he has heard about and that staff has received complaints and he would like to have a list of those complaints. F. Mayor Tury stated that he was going to Sacramento to meet with the State Allocation Board to see if he could not .get them to assist the City of Rosemead in getting the attention of the Alhambra School Board, so that they will come and talk to the Council.. G. Frank G. Tripepi, City Manager, stated that the item that is being considered by the State Allocation Board is a change in State policy as it relates to the reimbursement of administrative costs. Presently, 100% of the costs have to be-paid by the-local dis- tricts. Alhambra School District has asked that they change that policy, and other boards have in the past asked for a change in that policy because costs have skyrocketed over the years, and. they no longer are in a position to pay the total administrative costs. The State is going to consider a staff recommendation tomorrow that will call for a 80-20 split, 80% paid by.the State and 20% by the local district. Councilman Taylor inquired how many would the State handle each year. Frank Tripepi stated that he assumed that the State would handle as many as would come before them for development of school sites. Councilman Taylor stated that he felt that this was just another trough to belly up to for the school districts. Mayor Tury stated that the attack being taken tomorrow is not so much opposing the policy changes, but opposing the policy change without the school board contacting the City of Rosemead and trying to resolve the differences. Councilman Imperial felt that it was a good idea to go to Sacramento; however, he did not feel that it was going to do much good as far as having conversation with the Alhambra School Board. He.stated that a lot of people have tried that to no avail. They have had plenty of time to talk to the Rosemead Council, but they just have not wanted to do it. He stated that he would sit in at a.meeting with the School Board that the Council has proposed; however, he will do so with a negative attitude. Up to this time, they do not want to discuss. anything with this City and for some reason, they do not want to disturb the people in Alhambra or Monterey Park. Councilman Taylor stated that he felt that at the meeting in Sacramento it should be brought up that although the forms the Alhambra School District have filled out, state that they will comply with contacting the local Planning Commissionsg they have not'done so.. CM 10-22-85 Page #10 • Mayor Tury stated that although the application form states that they are suppose to contact the local districts, it also states that if the local government turns them down it takes only an additional 30 days to do what they want. Councilman Bruesch stated that the form states that a courtesy call is required by the Alhambra School District, and the City has not even received that. Mayor Tury stated that they are going to Sacramento to at least get their attention. There being no other business to handle, the Council Meeting was adjourned to next Tuesday night, October 29, 1985 at 7:00 p. m., to study the General Plan.and the Southeast Traffic Study.
