RESOLUTION NO. 85-45 - OPPOSING CONSTRUCTION OF A HIGH SCHOOL IN ROSEMEAD AND URGING ALHAMBRA SCHOOL DISTRICT. TO EXPLORE FEASIBLE ALTERNATE SITES IN DISTRICT (VERBATIM) Tury:, Mr. Tripepi would you read.the resolution? Read it in full. Tripepi: Mr. Mayor and Members of the City Council, this comes to you following some discussions and reworkings by myself and the City Attorney's office relative to Council's request. The following Resolution was read into the record: RESOLUTION NO. 85-45 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD OPPOSING CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW HIGH SCHOOL IN ROSEMEAD AND URGING THE ALHAMBRA SCHOOL DISTRICT TO EXPLORE FEASIBLE ALTERNATE SITES THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Rosemead believes and strongly supports our public education system; and WHEREAS, within the Alhambra School District there currently exists a need to construct a new high school to alle- viate overcrowding; and WHEREAS, the City Council believes that the majority of the students to be in this school reside in areas outside the corporate limits of the City of Rosemead; and WHEREAS, the education process is facilitated when students attend schools close to their homes; and WHEREAS, the education process is inhibited when students must be bussed or walk long distances to their schools; and WHEREAS, all sites presently under consideration for this new high school are located within the corporate limit boundaries of the City of Rosemead; and WHEREAS, the City Council feels that any new construction of a school facility should be located in the area from which the greatest number of students reside or the greatest residential growth is occuring; and CM 9-24-85 Page #3 WHEREAS, it is the obligation as Councilmembers to make Rosemead a better place, not only to attend school,but also to live; and WHEREAS, the present site location of the high school is planned for an area that will cause some 350 to 400 families to lose their homes; and WHEREAS, the Rosemead City Council believes that the need for a high school does not offset the dislocation that will be experienced by these families who are desirous of remaining Rosemead residents. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD: 1. Urges the Alhambra School District expand its search to include all possible sites within the district, including those ouside the City of Rosemead; and 2. Hereby informs the Alhambra School District of the City's intention to oppose, at all appropriate ad- ministrative and judicial.levels,..the acquisition. of property and construction of a high school that would displace Rosemead residents or businesses. 3. Directs that a copy of this Resolution be trans- mitted to the Alhambra School District Board of Education, Garvey School Board,State Allocation Board and the California State Board of Education. PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED this 24th day of September, 1985. ATTEST: MAYOR City Clerk Imperial: Mr. Mayor Tury: Mr. Imperial. Imperial: I am pleased to recommend approval of Resolution No. 85-45. Tury: Do I hear a second to that motion? Cleveland: Second the motion. Tury: I have a motion and a second, is there any discussion? Bruesch: Mr. Mayor. Tury: Mr. Bruesch. Bruesch: One of my pet peeves of this whole issue was that I don't feel that there was adequate public input in the early stages of the search. Is it possible. to add to the whereas, about that all sites presently under consideration for the high school are located within the corporate limit boundaries of.the City of Rosemead with inadequate public input or some- thing.of that nature. Tury: Bob, why don't we...we have been working on this rather diligently. This is strictly a public statement. It is very broad. It is not specific. This lets the residents and the school know exactly where we stand and.what we are doing, and I think this is probably, at least in my opinion, a good state- ment. General. Everything in it is factual and I think if we just let it go with this, and we have a long way to go with this and I am quite sure that those arguments will come up in the future. CM 9-24-85 Page H4 • 0 Bruesch: I agree with you, but again, I think one of the key' issues is the fact that there was inadequate public comment and public input on the whole question. I just feel that there should be something stated in the resolution. Taylor: Mr. Mayor. Tury: Mr. Taylor. Taylor: Excuse me, Bob. I tend to agree with some type of a comment being added into what Mr. Bruesch is saying. Because since our last meeting, as the Council is aware, the Alhambra School Board has made several committments at the State level which we did not know of three weeks ago. And I am surprised. And all of the input that I have gotten from the people who have come to this Council Meeting, they also claim they have not received a committment or the Alhambra High School Board will not give them a committment. Now, correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that is what they have told us when they have come to the Council. Tury: I think you are right, and one of the problems is the way it has been handled. The only reason I have hesitated is that I hate to take on another entity.. I would rather take on the project, than to attack another governing entity. But I have no real problems, if the majority of the Council wishes that added in there, that's fine with me. Taylor: I think that we were put in an awkward position, and the reason that I don't mind putting it in is because they.took no consideration of this Council. We received no information from the Alhambra School Board. The residents of this community came and asked us what was going on. We had to say that we do not know, but in the past three weeks the documents that we have received from the State level have indicated that the Alhambra School Board long ago picked this site and approved it. Tury: Oh, yeh, there is no question about it. Taylor: So I think that the residents were mistreated. Everyone in this district was mistreated by that board. Tury: Bob, do you have some verbage. Bruesch: Basically, in the section of all sites presently under consideration for this new high school are located within the corporate limit boundaries of the City of Rosemead and this decision was done with inadequate public input. Or these de- cisions were made with inadequate public input. What disturbs me is that the state Code demands that in such projects.as this, that the Planning Commission, the local Planning Commissions, the local City Councils should be and has to be actually involved in the preliminary stages of deciding the"siti_ng and-we weren't notified. Tury: I agree, but those are also reasons why we can probably stop it. 0. K. Mr. Kress, do you have a way of wording that... Kress: Yes, in line with the discussion, I would propose this as an entirely new whereas. Whereas, neither the City Council nor the residents of Rosemead have been given the opportunity to be heard prior to the decision making by the Alhambra School Board, Tury: Fine, where did you want to insert that? Under the other whereas's about the City boundaries of the City of Rosemead. Bruesch: Yeh, right under that. Yeh, that does it. Tury: 0. K. Make sure that becomes part of the ...0. K. I have a motion and I have a second on this. Bruesch: As amended2 CM 9-24-85 Page #5 • 0 Tury: As amended. Imperial: The maker of the motion does agree to All I really care about is that it is not built of Rosemead. Whatever we want to do is fine. Tury: Does the second agree. Cleveland: I can agree with the amendment. Taylor: Mr. Mayor. Tury: Yes. the amendment. in the City Taylor: We may have our differences of opinion, but I would like to read Section 2. on the bottom again. Hereby informs the Alhambra School District of the City's intention to oppose at all appropriate administrative and judicial levels, the acquisition of property and construction of a high school that would displace Rosemead residents or businesses. As I stated at the last meeting that we had the residents here that I was opposed to this particular site, but I also stated that I would vote for an issue that did the least damage to the least amount of people.&~yet was the most practical area, and I have gotten other input from residents in the City of Rosemead. They really do not object to the high school being built within the City of Rosemead, but this particular statement says that to me, displace Rosemead residents, that is the entire City. I have some reser- vations about that. Because if it is someplace in the City of Rosemead for whatever the reason, I believe that our local resi- dents will be closer to the school rather than if it is on the other side of Monterey Park, then our students will have that much further to go. I am looking for a happy medium. Tury: I think that we have been put into a box. We have been put into a corner where we have to come out very strongly. I have also talked to a lot of people who says it is fine in Rose- mead as long as it is not on my property, put it in my neighbors property. I have yet to have one person say I'd like to have the school right here on my piece of property,on my block. So I don't see that the City is going to oppose one site. I think that the City has got to take the position that we don't feel, that it belongs here, that the overcrowding is not^Ros.emeadt',s problem and consequently the Rosemead residents should not be made to pay, jt.he tab.'_'-Mrr.. Bruesch at one of the meetings said that the growth.in the Rosemead area has been 121 and the balance of the district has been 33% to 40%. It doesn't sound like Rosemead is the problem, so why should Rosemead residents pay the tab. Taylor: Mr. Mayor, regarding that particular comment we had asked in the past to get information. This again goes back to the Alhambra School Board. I wanted to get the information, not only for myself, but for this Council to figure out how they made that decision, and they have got to have statistics in there. We have heard them tossed about but nothing has been verified. I just would feel more comfortable knowing how they established how many students would be from Rosemead and the south San Gabriel Valley area. Growth factors, I tend to be- lieve that Monterey Park would be in fact the fastest growing. Imperial: Tury: Mr Mr. Mayor. Imperial. Imperial: I would certainly like all the information that Councilman Taylor is in reference to, but I have a real pro- blem with this thing. And that problem is that Alhambra School District has not been above board, not only with this City, we have known nothing about it, nor with the people in the community at all. Sure I would like the information, but I know where I stand with.those folks. We are looking at a project that has been approved and they are telling us that they are looking at several. I don't know how you can deal with those people in good faith. I really don't. I maintain, Mr. Mayor, that the need is not here in the City of Rosemead, but it is within the Alhambra School District area and that is outside of our boundaries. CM 9-24-85 Page #6 Imperial.continues: We don't need a school here and if you displace one person from one house whether it is north, south, east or west Rosemead, you are still displacing a citizen of our community for no need. So as far as I am concerned I will go on record as saying that school does not need to be in this City. . Tury: Gary, I think that the last time that this came up, I was one of the ones that didn't want to do a resolution be- cause we did not have enough figures. But I sat in Frank's office where we made a phone call and were told those figures were not available. So what do.you do? Once you get the infor- mation, you have got to do what you think is the best interest of the entity that you have been elected to work for. Gary: Mr. Mayor I agree with what your comments are, and I think Mr. Imperial comments were very direct as far as the Alhambra High School Board and I feel that this particular discussion,'.ff-'we-;pint that in there verbatim and send that to the Alhambra High School Board and let them know just what we feel about their committment to the residents of Rosemead. They did not give us the information. I am sure it's there. I believe we all know it's there. They don't sit up there and make those decisions. They know where every student is coming from. Tury: But they don't make that available. I tell you Gary, I think that the wording of this, and I sat there when this was done, and I read it.over; and I made a couple of suggested changes. The wording is simply made to wake them.up to the fact that we are indeed here, and if they don't decide to work with us, we are going to do what we have to do. Taylor: I agree with that. Tury: I think this is about as clear as you can possibly make that. Bruesch: Mr. Mayor. Tury: Yes, sir, Mr. Bruesch. Bruesch: My point in bringing up inadequate public input, was that I wanted to be sure that the siting of the high school was done with the students in mind and not a political reason in mind. And that is why I am very upset with the inadequate public input. I also have put down, as Gary did, a word about a large inordinate numbers of people being displaced. I am willing to go with this particular resolution the way it is stated with the extra whereas, but I do think if.we vote as is with the extra whereas, we are placing ourselves in the position that it is incumbent upon us that we maintain low levels of population growth in the southern part of the City. We must maintain that so.that we do not further impact the schools. Tury: We have. Bruesch: I know. I realize that. We have to take that on as a committment in the future 10, 15, 20 years. We keep our sights on keeping the population rise at the minimum so that we don't further impact our schools. S Imperial: Mr. Mayor. Tury: Mr. Imperial. Imperial: That is certainly a commendable idea, but I am sure that this City Council now, or in the future, will meet the needs of its citizens, when we know.those.needs are of-its citizens. So I have no problem with that Resolution. Now, it is way over due and I would like to call for the question. CM 9-24-85 Page #7 • Tury: 0. K. I have a motion and I have a second. Is there any more discussion. Please vote. The following Resolution No. 85-45 was presented for adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 85-45 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD OPPOSING CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW HIGH SCHOOL I1V ROSEMEAD AND URGING THE ALHAMBRA SCHOOL DISTRICT TO EXPLORE FEASIBLE ALTERNATE SITES THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT MOTION BY COUNCILMAN IMPERIAL, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN CLEVELAND that Resolution No. 85-45 be adopted. 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. Taylor: I would like the record.to show that I do oppose the site selection that we have.;but as I stated in the past, I know that there are reports that will document the actions that we have taken because of the bad faith that the Alhambra High School Board has shown in providing the information for us to participate in the selection of the high school site. Tury: Like I say, I agree with what you say, Gary, it is a drastic action, but I think we have been put into a position that we didn't have a great big choice. Taylor: I.believe that'we,,as a Council, were in a reasonable posi- tion that this... I feel that it is going to put a damper on that high school until it is done publicly now. Imperial: Mr. Mayor. Tury: Mr. Imperial. Imperial: I would like two things. I would like all the information forthcoming that Councilman Taylor has requested because I don't think this is the last of this issue for this City Council. Tury: Oh, it is going to go on for a long time, guys. This is just the first thing. Imperial: Secondly, Mr. Mayor, I would like a copy of this Resolution to go to the Garvey School District. Tury: It already is. It is already in the Resolution. Bruesch: Mr. Mayor. Tury: Mr. Bruesch. Bruesch: May I also suggest that ...to go along with your suggestion that the minutes of this discussion be verbatim and a copy be sent not only to the school district, but a. copy to each of,, the school..-board members. Taylor: Mr. Mayor, I believe it is a worthwhile suggestion because as I stated we have received information where the high school board did not take into consideration to allow this City to participate. And at the State level, I think, we have received information that it is going to make them open -it up now. Tury.: Oh, I think so too. O. K. this portion will be verbatim. I have a request that we take a five. minute break. CM 9-24-85 Page N8 • • F.

CC-F AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR ROSEMEAD MEDIAN BEAUTIFICATION PROJECT Councilman Taylor questioned the breakdown of the Rosemead Median Beautification Project where the small medians would cost $34,000 and the large $212,000 and felt that 50% of the project was the small medians. He requested a breakdown lineal footage- wise of what these figures incorporate. He stated that it looks disproportionate, and wanted to seethe breakdown to see how it was arrived at. Councilman Bruesch also felt that the figures were dispropor- tionate to the work necessary to be done on the project. Mayor Tury stated that it was probably the-landscaping costs that made the difference; however, this item could be deferred to the next meeting and this would allow time to have the re- quested figures available. There being no objection, this item was deferred to the next council meeting. CC-G . AWARD OF BID FOR DEFERRED LOAN HOME IMPROVEMENT AT 8425 E.

DEL MAR SLOPES AND CAL TRANS YARD Councilman Imperial stated that he felt that the Caltrans yard on Hellman is looking worse than it ever has. Tim Kerr, Executive Assistant, stated that Caltrans had indicated that in the 1986-87 Budget there would be included a block wall around that facility. Councilman Bruesch stated that.there have been complaints regarding.the off-ramp stating that there.is a backup because of the Traffic onto Walnut Grove. He requested that a traffic survey be taken of that area to see if there is an existing problem with the exit after the off-ramps are opened up again. VII. MATTERS FROM OFFICIALS A. PURCHASE OF CHILD SAFETY FILMS Councilman Bruesch stated that he felt.that this would be a valuable purchase because there are many groups in the community that could benefit from these films. Councilman Taylor inquired who would be in charge of the dispursement of these films. Councilman Imperial suggested that they could be placed in the Parks and Recreation Department and could be checked out from there.

The Mayor declared said motion duly.carried and so ordered. . Councilman Taylor inquired how the 1982 Buick was going to be advertised. Don Wagner, Assistant City Manager, stated that it.was going to be advertised in the local papers; posted and put it.in the recycler. Councilman Taylor requested that the notice be approximately three by four inches in size, so that it would show.a very deli- berate attempt on the part of the City.to publicly bid the vehicle. C. Councilman Imperial stated that in reference to a request from Supervisor Pete Schabarum, he would like to request that the City Attorney prepare a Resolution which would be supported by the entire City Council, which would request the City of Los Angeles not to use the San Gabriel Valley as a garbage disposal facility. He stated that Los Angeles has two garbage disposal facilities not being used within the City of Los Angeles and yet they are hauling their garbage to the.BKK Landfill. Mayor Tury requested that the City Attorney prepare a Resolu- tion for the next meeting. CM 9-24-85 Page #10 r ' D. Councilman Bruesch commented on the bus pads which were approved at the last meeting, and stated that he was in favor of the bus pad project; however, his-main objection to the proposal was that the bid went out with an estimated cost and all the contractors bids were substantially higher than the estimate. He felt that just because bus pads happen to be a popular thing, that certain businesses are taking advantage of it. He stated that was the reason for his "no" vote on the bus pad project, even though he does support the bus pad project. The City Attorney stated that since.the City,Council Meet- ing of October 8th will probably not have a quorum, and the Urgency Ordinance establishing a moratorium on Fortune Telling businesses in the City of Rosemead will expire on October 11th, a public hearing has to be scheduled for either the 9th or 10th of October on that subject. Mayor Tury inquired of the Council which of the nights would be more suitable, and it was decided that the 9th of October at 8:00 p. m. would be appropriate for the Public Hearing to be held. The City Council Meeting was recessed for the purpose of reconvening as the Redevelopment Agency in a closed session to discuss the matter of the Bevan Corporation vs. A. Lopez and the City of Rosemead and the Rosemead Redevelopment Agency. The City Council reconvened from their closed session. The City Attorney stated that the Redevelopment Agency Board discussed the litigation regarding the Zapopan Center and the Agency Board gave direction to the Attorney and no other action was taken. The City Council Meeting was adjourned to the next regular meeting on October 8, 1985 at 8:00 p. m. Respectfully submitted: APPROVED: City C ' rk MAYOR CM 9-24-85 Page #11
