Bob Walker, Consolidated Disposal, explained that the person in question owns 7 multi- unit properties. Mr. Walker stated that they have tried to contact the owner but no cooperation has been forthcoming from her as far as their collection efforts have gone. Mr. Walker stated that her name appears on this list year after year and they are now ready to take alternative action.

PUBLIC HEARING - ZONE CHANGE 00-212; GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT 00-02; CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 00-794 - 8518 VALLEY BOULEVARD The Mayor opened the public hearing for those in the audience wishing to speak in favor of this item. Michael Orduno, Southern California Edison, stated that he is representing the property owner and Mr. Linn, the developer. Councilman Taylor stated that he is concerned with the dust and dirt along the property line affecting the residents. Mr. Orduno responded that the development of an auto sales dealership will alleviate the majority of those problems, especially with the pollen and weed abatement complaints that they have been receiving. Councilman Taylor stated that he is not against the project, but is concerned with the noise level and he asked if the residents are aware of what will be occurring. Mr. Orduno responded that he met with the homeowners and the president of the homeowners association and received their approval for the project Councilman Taylor asked what their reaction is to the noise of the cars being driven around the lot seven days a week. Mr. Orduno responded that there will not be a lot of cars in that area as the cars will be concentrated in the front of the lot. The back portion will be mainly for storage of vehicles. CCREGMTG:6-13-00 Page a2 Councilman Bruesch verified that it will be a used car lot and requested that a condition be added that dust control is maintained on the back gravel lot. Mr. Orduno responded that SCE will also require that the soil base be packed to withstand a 40-ton truck. Councilman Taylor asked what areas will be landscaped with turf as listed in the Conditions of Approval. Mr. Orduno responded that the front area and areas near residences will be landscaped, in keeping with the same type of plants as is in the area, and it will also serve as a screen. Councilman Imperial asked if this type of usage for that property should be allowed considering the extensive Conditions of Approval. Councilman Taylor stated that he understands Councilman Imperial's concerns, but this will now become a usable piece of property if it does not annoy the neighbors. Mr. Taylor stated that should there be any problems in the future, mitigating measures can be enacted if necessary. Juan Nunez, 2702 Del Mar, Rosemead, stated that the landscape needs to be maintained as well. There being no one else wishing to speak in favor of this item, the Mayor opened the public hearing for those in opposition. There being no one wishing to speak, the Mayor closed the public hearing.

URGENCY ORDINANCE NO. 808 - AMENDING THE ROSEMEAD MUNICIPAL CODE BY DELETING THE REQUIREMENT OF CURB, GUTTER, AND SIDEWALK INSTALLATION FOR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS Councilman Taylor asked what transpired to bring this item up? Frank Tripepi, City Manager, responded that only curb and gutters exist throughout the community. The City adopted the sidewalk ordinance many years ago at which time the Council aggressively pursued the installation of sidewalks in certain areas. Mr. Tripepi continued that if the Council does not want to continue to vigorously pursue the installation of sidewalks with individual homeowners, not subdivisions or large projects, the ordinance tonight will no longer require the installation of sidewalks. Mr. Tripepi stated that there are many neighborhoods that are not major routes to schools, not heavily traveled by pedestrians, and the people that live on those streets may not want sidewalks and want to maintain their green area. Mr. Tripepi CCREGMTG:6-13-00 Page N5 explained that there are three people appealing a Planning Commission decision that would require them to install sidewalks. Councilman Taylor stated for the record that one of the people appealing that decision is his son. Mr. Tripepi added for the record, that Councilman Taylor did not ask him to put this item on the agenda. Councilman Taylor stated that there are dozens of homes within Vane, Ellis Lane and Marshall area that have built major additions without putting in sidewalks. Councilman Taylor stated that wants to ensure that there are still provisions requiring the installation of sidewalks on large developments. Mr. Taylor stated that there are homeowners who deserve the sidewalk waiver as they maintain nice well-kept properties. Mr. Tripepi stated that there are provisions in the parcel map subdivisions that require, as a condition of approval, full installation of public improvements, which includes sidewalks. Councilman Bruesch asked if the sidewalk threshold amount should be raised? Mr. Tripepi stated that some residents do not want a sidewalk, and some may borrow enough money to do improvements and by requiring them to build a sidewalk also might over burden them. Mr. Tripepi stated again, that large projects will still have sidewalks required as part of the development procedure. Councilman Bruesch stated that the sidewalk requirement is for safety and he does not like to see people walking in the gutters. Mr. Bruesch continued that if the threshold was raised to $40,000 or $50,000 then that would eliminate those appeals. Councilman Taylor responded that this does not change the nice areas that do not need sidewalks and that most of them are cul-de-sacs or not main thoroughfares, and are very well kept. MOTION BY MAYOR PRO TEM IMPERIAL, SECOND BY COUNCILMAN VASQUEZ that the Council waive reading in full and adopt Ordinance No. 808. Vote resulted: Yes: Taylor, Clark, Vasquez, Imperial No: Bruesch Absent: None Abstain: None The Mayor declared said motion duly carried and so ordered. Councilman Bruesch stated that he feels that the requirement of sidewalks in large developments is a safety issue. E. RESOLUTION NO. 2000-30 - SUPPORTING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE EATON VILLAGE SHOPPING CENTER JOINTLY WITH THE CITY OF EL MONTE MOTION BY COUNCILMAN BRUESCH, SECOND BY MAYOR PRO TEM IMPERIAL that the Council adopt Resolution No. 2000-30. Before vote resulted, more conversation ensued. Councilman Taylor asked if any agreement has been forthcoming regarding the 50-50 share of sales tax for this project? Mr. Taylor stated that he is going to Abstain as the developer is pushing the issue, but so far they have not come forth with anything. CCREGMTG:6-13-00 Page k6 Mr. Tripepi stated no agreement has been received yet; however, the project is still a long way off and that this resolution does not make any financial commitments, but that both cities are in agreement with the concept of the project and will work toward the completion of it. Yes: Bruesch, Clark, Vasquez, Imperial No: None Abstain: Taylor Absent: None The Mayor declared said motion duly carried and so ordered. IV. CONSENT CALENDAR (CC-A was removed for discussion purposes) CC-B APPROVAL OF ENTERTAINMENT PERMIT FOR SPIKE'S BAR & GRILL, 7813 E. GARVEY AVENUE CC-C AWARD OF BID - COPYING MACHINES MOTION BY COUNCILMAN BRUESCH, SECOND BY COUNCILMAN TAYLOR that the Council approve the foregoing items on the Consent Calendar. Vote resulted: Yes: Bruesch, Taylor, Clark, Vasquez, Imperial No: None Absent: None Abstain: None The Mayor declared said motion duly carried and so ordered. CC-A ACCEPTANCE OF BIDS AND AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR CURB HOUSE NUMBERING (FY 1999-2000) Councilman Bruesch asked why there was only one bid listed. Ken Rukavina, City Engineer, responded that three bid packets were picked up, but only one submitted. MOTION BY COUNCILMAN BRUESCH, SECOND BY COUNCILMAN IMPERIAL that the Council accept the bid and award and project to Almaron Corporation in the amount of $35,785.00, and authorize the Mayor to sign the contract on behalf of the City. Vote resulted: Yes: Bruesch, Taylor, Clark, Vasquez, Imperial No: None Absent: None Abstain: None The Mayor declared said motion duly carried and so ordered. V. MATTERS FOR DISCUSSION AND ACTION A. ASSESSMENT OF TEMPLE CITY BOULEVARD TRUCK ROUTE Frank Tripepi, City Manager, stated that Commissioner Ruiz has expressed concerns with noise and air pollution caused by truck travel on Temple City Boulevard. Mr. Tripepi explained that research was conducted about the feasibility of removing of a long-standing truck route from a State Highway and that Sgt. Wallace met with Judge Van Dusen. Judge Van Dusen said that he would not uphold any citations issued to truck drivers that use Temple City Boulevard as a truck route. Mr. Tripepi suggested to Commissioner Ruiz that the truck route signs be removed and that he would meet with the City Manager of El Monte to ask the major companies in his community to notify their drivers to use either Santa Anita or Rosemead Boulevard. CCREGAITG:6-13-00 Page a7 Councilman Taylor requested an explanation of Judge Van Dusen's comments. Sgt. Wayne Wallace, Temple Station, stated that he spoke with Judge Van Dusen at Rio Hondo Courthouse, and based on existing ordinances and laws, there is nothing to preclude trucks from using that route and that enforceability would be difficult. Judge Van Dusen explained that the ordinance gives truckers with a bill of lading the right to pick up goods and make deliveries, etc. Councilman Taylor asked how does a City establish a "No Truck Route"? Joanne Itagaki, Traffic Engineer, stated that the City of Montebello and Chino have changed their truck routes. The City of Montebello did theirs through a six-month period basis by notifying businesses along the street; however, the street (Greenwood) is not a freeway off- ramp but in the interior of the City. The City of Chino has posted weight limit signs and has an agreement with the truckers to use a designated off-ramp for deliveries to their industrial area. Councilman Taylor stated that he's lived one block from Temple City Boulevard for 38 years and has not heard any complaints. Councilman Bruesch confirmed that if a truck driver is cited the judge will dismiss the citation. Ms. Itagaki explained that the Judge is probably referring to the Vehicle Code that states that trucks are allowed the most direct route to their destination. Councilman Taylor stated that this would be wasting a lot of resources for nil results and requested that this item be deferred for more information from Montebello and Chino. At this time Mayor Clark announced that she has three requests to speak on item III.D, the Urgency Ordinance deleting the curb, gutter and sidewalk requirements, and apologized for not calling them earlier, but they can address the Council at this time if they wish. Tatiane Kennard, 3602 Vane Avenue, Rosemead, stated that she was treated very rudely at the Planning Commission Meeting of June 5a'. Ms. Kennard stated that she was not allowed to speak on her item, and was told to file an appeal if she did not agree with their decision. Robert Kress, City Attorney, explained that there was some confusion at that meeting partly from the Assistant City Attorney. Mr. Kress stated that the Attorney mistakenly ruled that it was not a public hearing. Mr. Kress concluded that the appeal process allows a person to speak, and that an error was made at that meeting, and steps have been taken to ensure that that will not happen again. Councilman Taylor requested the tapes from the two meetings regarding this sidewalk issue. Mr. Taylor stated that at Council meetings there are two times set aside for anyone wishing to address the Council. Mayor Clark assured Ms. Kennard that this matter will be looked into. At this time, the discussion of item V.A. continued. Victor Ruiz, Traffic Commissioner, 9703 Olney Street, stated that this item has been on- going for some time with the initial problem being noise and the use ofjake breaks. Mr. Ruiz continued that the residents are also concerned with pollution such as dust and diesel fuel. Mr. Ruiz stated that the majority of trucks exiting Temple City Boulevard are going to El Monte and that a dialogue with the City Manager of El Monte, as Mr. Tripepi suggested, will not work. What is needed is a change in ordinance. Councilman Bruesch asked if the ordinance is changed to remove the truck route portion from it, does that allow the Judge to uphold the citations issued? CCREGMTG:6-13-00 Page N8 Robert Kress, City Attorney, responded that it would not, as that was the scenario explained to Judge Van Dusen by Sgt. Wallace. Mr. Ruiz disagreed with that response. Mr. Ruiz continued that the issue is noise pollution and the residents are here tonight to address the Council. Councilman Bruesch stated that he does not want to see the City's efforts, money and time going into something ineffective, and that he needs to know exactly what the Judge said. Sgt. Wallace stated that he explained the existing ordinance to the Judge, which allows trucks to use Temple City Boulevard at any time. Sgt. Wallace then asked the Judge what the City's option would be if the truck route was closed. Sgt. Wallace stated that the Judge's reply was that it still would not change anything. Mr. Kress clarified that the ordinance could be amended to delete the item in the Municipal Code referring to this street and leave the rest of the truck routes intact. Ernest Larson, 3850 N. Ellis Lane, Rosemead, stated that he lives adjacent to Temple City Boulevard and that trucks exit at all hours using theirjake breaks. Mr. Larson continued that trucks stop and park by his yard with their engines running and emitting fumes. Mr. Larson pointed out that there are other streets that the truckers could use that are non-residential. Esthela Gallegos, 9709 Olney, Rosemead, was unable to stay and left a letter read by Desiree Ruiz. Ms. Gallegos wrote that they are long-time residents of Rosemead and now fear that the safety and convenience of living there is slipping away due to the amount of heavy truck traffic getting off and on the freeway all hours of the day and night. Ms. Gallegos is also concerned with the exhaust and what type of cargo the trucks are carrying, and that the majority of destinations are in El Monte. Silvia Guerrero, 3844 Ellis Lane, Rosemead, stated that she is concerned with the loud noise. Lynn Sapp, 3844 Ellis Lane, Rosemead, stated that he is concerned with the noise, especially with the jake brakes at 4:00 a.m., trucks idling, and poor visibility at intersections. Mr. Sapp explained that Montebello blocked Finley Avenue altogether from any vehicle making a right turn after exiting the freeway, that vehicles have to go the major street. Councilman Bruesch suggested that this item be deferred pending furthur information and clarification on Sections 1031 and 1036 of the Public Utilities Code and the section of the code that refers to truck being exempt if picking up and delivering goods used in repairs. Mr. Bruesch stated if the ordinance needs to be rewritten would the court then look at it as a prosecutable offense. Mr. Bruesch stated that those changes should be worked out between the City and the Court. Councilman Taylor requested that this item be deferred for staff reports and further information. Mr. Taylor asked for a report on how Chino and Montebello enforced their no truck routes and where the streets are. Mayor Pro Tern Imperial stated there are more people now and more people cause more traffic problems. Mr. Imperial asked that that be taken into consideration also. Holly Knapp, Traffic Commissioner, asked if the Council received verbatim minutes from the Traffic Commission's May 4a' meeting. Mr. Tripepi stated that tapes from that meeting would be made for the Council. Ms. Knapp stated that the off ramp at Temple City Boulevard is a terrible turnoff for trucks. There being no further discussion, this item was deferred. CCREGMTG.643-00 Page #9 B. REQUEST BY CONSOLIDATED DISPOSAL SERVICE, INC. TO MODIFY FIELD OFFICE HOURS Richard Fierro, Consolidated Disposal Services, stated that walk-in traffic at the Rosemead office has been declining and requested a reduction in office hours to close on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays. Mr. Fierro stated that a drop box will be placed at the door to allow residents to deposit their payments. Mr. Fierro explained that when the billing goes out, which is cyclical, that is when the bulk of people come into the office for payment. The office will be open Monday through Friday during that two-week period of time, or three weeks if necessary. MOTION BY COUNCILMAN TAYLOR, SECOND BY COUNCILMAN BRUESCH that the Council approve the modification of the field office hours. Before vote could result, more conversation ensued. Mayor Pro Tern Imperial stated that he is willing to approve this request, but asked that a phone be installed outside of their office for customers to call directly to Consolidated headquarters when the field office is closed. Mr. Fierro stated that once approval is granted, a letter will be mailed to all residents notifying them of the new hours, a notice will be placed in the Chamber newsletter and a notice posted outside of their field office. Mayor Clark requested that Mr. Fierro look into the feasibility of installing a direct line. Councilman Taylor called for the question. Motion is amended to include the feasibility of installing a direct phone line to Consolidated headquarters. Vote resulted: Yes: Bruesch, Taylor, Clark, Vasquez, Imperial No: None Absent: None Abstain: None The Mayor declared said motion duly carried and so ordered. VI. STATUS REPORTS - None VH.
