V. MATTERS FOR DISCUSSION & ACTION
A. NAUGLES INCIDENT (VERBATIM)
Mayor: Mr. Taylor, I'll refer that to you.
Taylor: Mr. Mayor, I just wanted some clarification. We
have got some pretty good reports on it. I would just like to
have the Council refer to the dates of the different reports.
They have been amended twice and I just refer that to the Council.
As you know, my son was involved in this incident, as far as being.
in Naugles Restaurant. I had asked him to ... we have received a
story of some of the juveniles that were involved in it, and we
have had the sheriff's report, but we haven't received a report
from the third parties involved. So I asked him to just, if he
would mind letting the Council hear the third side of it. Since
there were three parties involved. The Sheriff's response, the
other juveniles involved... Steve would you mind telling us what
happened there that night. Just..yes, please.
Mayor: What's your name Steve, for the record.
Steve: My name is Steve Taylor, and I live at 9541 Marshall
Street. I haven't read any of the reports or heard what the other
boys have said, but that night I had arrived there and I saw some
boys drinking in the parking lot and I walked in and some of my
friends from my church were there and I started talking with them
and they said that those boys out there were hasseling them and
I work at that restaurant and I was talking to the manager, and
he said that he had.kicked those boys out of the restaurant for
drinking, hasseling and food fights. So I was standing there and
one of the boys outside came up to me and he...uh..it was close
to midnight so I had locked the doors for the manager because we
lock the inside doors at midnight. The Manager had asked me to
lock the doors so I locked the doors, and one of the boys came
over to me and he wanted to come in and I said I am sorry, but
the thing is closed. He started accusing me of picking up his
beer bottles or something. I said no I didn't. He tried to get
into the restaurant and get at me, but I closed the door and I
got in. They were outside and they were yelling things to us and
giving us the finger and a lot of other things, and we just...
none of the other guys were interested and I was just sitting
there watching them out of the restaurant and they were just
drinking beer and setting the bottles down there and one of
the boys, there were three on one side and a driver, one of the
boys had a knife in his hand and he had it down next to his side
and he was twisting'it in his hand and looking at me and I just
sat there and for ten or fifteen minutes I just sat there and
smiled at him. They..We had called the Sheriff's on them, and
told the Sheriff that they were hasseling them and there was no
response. It was ten minutes later and there was another call
and the manager said that he had told the sheriff that there was
knives involved and somebody could get hurt,. So we went back out
there and we were watching them and they decided that they were
going to leave. So they decided to start their van and the van
did not start. It.died. So they went across the street and
got one of their friends from the.Rose Room and charged the
battery up and then they left. So... the Sheriff's hadn't come
yet, we figured they weren't going to come so we figured we would
leave. Since they were gone. So we walked out of the restaurant
and went over to the car, and just as my friend and I were going
to get into the car, one of the boys jumped over one of the walls.
They had hidden behind one of the walls. They started beating up
on one of my friends, so I went over and started to help him.
Three other boys came from another direction, one with the knife
and the other two. So I ran into the restaurant and those three
came after me and one of them stayed with my friend, and they
went after me and when I came over I got into the.restaurant and
for five minutes they kept threatening, telling how they are going
to kill me and that I'm dead and everything. The Sheriff still
hadn't showed up yet, and at this time, there was an off -duty L.A.
P.D. man there and we was helping the manager out with.-.stopping
the boys from doing anything. Just about five minutes after that
the Sheriff showed up and we told them what had happened. The
CM 4 -12 -83
Page #4
Sheriff said o.k. why don't you tell the other sheriff. So I
told the other sheriff while this one drove up the street. They
were driving around for about five minutes and me and my friend
Steve were out in the parking lot watching them, and we saw the
van parked up the street, right up Muscatel, about five or six
doors down. We got up there and one of the parking lights on
the Van were on, so we came back and told the sheriff where they
were and the Sheriff went back up there and we followed them
back up and the Sheriffs were looking in the van and the boys
were around somewhere because the van had the light on. We looked
around and the Sheriff told us that we had better go because we
were going to get hurt. So I was curious and we wanted to stay.
So me and my friend got into the car and went back to Naugles and
we went across the street and we watched... and a couple of the
Sheriffs were still standing around and one of the Sheriffs came
to us and he told us, the same Sheriff that told us the first
time, I thought I told you guys to leave, and we said we were
sorry and we left. But, my major concern was..me and my friend
got away with this luckily because I was able to get back into
the restaurant and my friend was able to leave, but the Sheriffs
have responded other.times on time, but this time, the Sheriffs
did not..I don't want them... the next people, these boys might
have trouble with might not be as lucky as we were.
Mayor: Steve, do you have to call them very often..out of curiosity
is that a problem spot. Do you have problems there very often at
Naugles.
Steve: Yes, we do. I have called the Sheriff. I have worked there
since last June, and we haven't had any problems over the summer.
But I have called there quite a few times and we had a robbery there
and the Sheriff responded real quick. And a couple of other times
the manager said the Sheriff took awhile to get there, but I've
never had a problem with the Sheriff not responding in such a long
time. And after twenty -five minutes or so when the Sheriff did
show up, one Sheriff would have been fine if it were to show up
on time, but three or four Sheriffs pull in the driveway within
minutes of each other. One Sheriff could have handled it if they
would have come in the beginning. They had everything going on
there and it was a little late then. The boys were already gone.
Mayor: That is unfortunate. We have talked about this whole inci-
dent.
Steve: I just don't want the next people that these boys bet
involved with—they may not be as lucky as us and they may get
hurt.
Mayor: I can agree with you, there is something wrong with a res-
ponse time of twenty -five minutes. Since this incidence has the
Sheriff taken the time to cruise that parking lot periodically.
Steve: Yes, I have noticed that the Sheriffs have been there
a lot more than before the incident. I see them every single
night, they are around there a lot.
Mayor: We can only apologize to you for the length of time, and
talk to the Police commander and I don't'know if you have been
shown any of the reports, and like they said they have up -dated
them several times. Sounds like it is getting closer to the reality
is.
Steve: I wanted to know whether the suspects were caught or not,
so I went down to the station, but I couldn't get the report.
The people that attacked us, they wanted to know their names and
I didn't know them.
Mayor: Any comments? 0. K. Gary go ahead..
CM 4 -12 -83

Taylor: S asked Steve to put in the third side of it, and you
gentlemen can take what you want out of it, but it pretty well
ties into what happened. That there were weapons involved and
it was in the tape to the Sheriff. The record is pretty clear.
I was shocked at the response time and the mix -up in the calls.
You and I were out here last year, Mr. Mayor, and we called the
Sheriff, and we waited a half -hour to forty -five minutes, some-
thing like that and the poor old fellow just wandered out across
the street.
Mayor: I think, Frank, to add on to this, we were talking about
this, and Frank was in my shop one day and there was some guy
either passed out or dead in the curb next to the sidewalk over
there. We called the Sheriffs and Frank and I sat there for forty -
five minutes and this is the City Manager of a City .calling, and
the response time was equally poor.
Taylor: Well, Mr. Mayor, there are many good Sheriffs, I don't....
it is just like people you deal with...I have employees maybe 80
to 100 on a job. Some of them are lackadaisical, they don't do
their job properly and there are others that are excellent and
very conscientious, and that is true with the Sheriff's Department
too. There are many good ones. This was an incident, and this
was the fifth time for me personally that there has been a poor
response and sometimes no response. When a resident calls me on
the phone and has complaints and questions what is going on, I have
to take it with a grain of salt in one sense because I don't know
the validity of it,.but.five out of six times I have personally
been involved in ... I have just lost a little bit of faith with...
maybe we are not providing the proper coverage and maybe not enough
cars, I don't know the answer, but it doesn't explain the response
time. We were told in the past,.when complaints would come to us
the average is from three to five minutes response. We all wonder
how can that be. The Sheriff's department Captain Jim Callas, when
he took over last year, I don't criticize him at all, he has a job
to do or any of the officers, but I think something needs to be re-
viewed a little more accurately. I don't envy his job nor do I
condemn him. It is not really his fault, and there are good de-
puties, but there is a flaw somewhere.
Mayor: I think, possibly, Gary, and maybe we should have done
this in the past, why don't we have a meeting with Mr. Callas and
the Council here in the Conference Room, a Public Meeting, not a
secret meeting, and let us throw these things out. My experience
with him, is that he seems to be responsive if he is made aware
of a problem. But, I don't know that for a fact, in the past he
has been quite responsive. Why don't we do that? Would that be
...would the Council think that would be a good idea? I think
instead of all of us ... having problems and talking amongst our-
selves, the person to get_ to is Mr. Callas and then we can talk
to him as a body, and maybe we are understaffed. Maybe, this is
the time to look into alternatives to what we are providing at this
particular point and time.
Imperial: I would like to say at this time, and I am going to be
very blunt and frank, in my association with the City as a Council -
person, I have not always been impressed with the service that we
got from the Sheriff's department. I was definitely not impressed
with the two previous commanders of the Temple City Sheriff.'s De-
partment. I am very impressed with Mr. Callas,as far as I am con-
cerned he is the best Captain that we have had at the Temple City
Sheriff's Station. But like any organization there are problems.
At one time, I think we had a good thing going in this City. We
had a Sheriff's breakfast where we could get together and we could
look these deputies in the eyes and say o. k. what happened, why?
Get a response from them. I think it was a good program. I don't
know why we don't have them any omre. In my opinion, they were
very cost effective because you really resolve a lot of problems
and get out some frustrations and get some answers that you pro-
bably wouldn't get in a report. I would like to suggest that this
meeting that we have with Captain Callas would also include some
of his key deputies, either a breakfast or dinner meeting. Let's
sit down and break bread with these people and find out what the
problem is. I am very concerned with this incident. As much as
I think about Captain (continued on next page) CM 4 -12 -83
Page M6
Callas and the way he runs his operation, I am very concerned
with this incident, and I think that we as a body ought to sit
down and talk to not only him but some of his key people.
Thank you.
Taylor: Mr. Mayor, I would like, if there is no objection,
this item of the meeting verbatim and a copy of it given to
Captain Callas, and to put in that file the third party story.
Mayor: That's fine..
Taylor: It was incomplete, and Steve hadn't seen the documents
or heard the tape or any of it, and I just asked him to come
and explain what happened first hand, and you can ask him any
questions you want. But I think it is important that it be part
of that record because it states that no weapons are involved.
They didn't ask the third party involved. That was disturbing
to me and also that there was no follow up on that part of it.
Mayor: I would like, if it is alright with Steve, to have this
made part of the record.
Taylor: He's a minor. I am his guardian.
Mayor: If there are no objections to that, we will have them
made part of the record because this has brought a problem to
a head that has been festering for quite some time, and we
appreciate your forthrightness and your willingness to come
forward and talk to us. Thank you very much.
Bonnie Culbertson: I am sure you are all aware of the many
robberies that our local banks are having. We are in the process,
the Chamber is in the process of setting up a meeting with Captain
Callas and a gentleman from the FBI to meet with our local bankers
and the savings and loan representatives—because the manager of
Union Federal Savings Loan was told,last Friday morning when he
called the Sheriff from the Chamber Office that the alarm was set
off, go ahead and go in and if you have a problem then call me.
So we feel that Captain Callas is not aware of what is happening,
and we have already made phone calls initiating this meeting.
That doesn't mean that you shouldn't have a separate one, but we
would be very happy to include the City Council at that time.
Mayor: I think that we should keep those two things separate,
but we would be glad to show up and get the information.
Cichy: We should get a report on the bank situation, and I don't
think we should keep it separate and we should know all about it.
Imperial: Also, when we set up this breakfast or dinner meeting
with the Sheriff's department, if the Council agrees, I would like
to know when it is, I would like the-Council to have enough response
time to jot down some questions on this incident with young Mr.
Taylor so that they have all this information available at the
Meeting.
Mayor: Well, why don't we try to arrange an evening meeting,
Frank. I would like to have everyone there.and with Jim and
possibly some of his head people, if there is no objections
to that. I think that in cooperation with the Chamber, if you
will let us know when the meeting is, if possibly Frank could
be there or someone could be there so that we could hear what
is going on too. These things surface sometimes and I wasn't
aware that there was a rash of bank robberies in town. To be
very honest with you.
Culbertson: In fact we were informed that Valley Boulevard has
the highest rate of bank robberies in the San Gabriel Valley.
Mayor: Did anyone on this Council know that?
Taylor: No.
Imperial: I didn't.
CM 4 -12 -83
Page H7
Mayor: It seems to me to be something that we should be made
aware of, now doesn't it? Let's find out why we were not made
aware of that.
Imperial: It sounds like we have a communications problem.
Mayor: That's right. I'll set up that meeting and Bonnie if
you will advise us when your meeting and we will try to be pre-
sent. O. K. Is it O. K., Gary?
Taylor: Yes, Mr. Mayor, thank you.
B. CONTRACT POLICY FOR CDBG DEFERRED & LOW INTEREST LOANS
Frank G. Tripepi, City Manager, stated that a resolution
has been prepared outlining the provisions of the policy limiting
the amount of the loan to the lowest responsible bidder.
The following Resolution was presented for adoption:
RESOLUTION NO. 83 -15
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD
ESTABLISHING BID REQUIREMENTS FOR LOW- INTEREST & DEFERRED
LOAN IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS UNDER THE CITY COMMUNITY BLOCK
GRANT PROGRAM
MOTION BY COUNCILMAN CLEVELAND, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN CICHY
that Resolution No. 83 -15 be adopted and the reading in full be
waived. Vote resulted:
AYES: Councilmen Cichy, Cleveland, Imperial, and Mayor Tury
NAYES: Councilman Taylor
ABSTAIN: .None
ABSENT: None
Whereupon the Mayor declared said motion duly carried and
so ordered.
Councilman Imperial requested that the record show that
even though he is in favor of the way the program is administrated,
he is not in favor of the funding.
Councilman Taylor stated that the Resolution 83 -15 clarified
an issue, and his "no" vote was not on the Resolution as such, it
was his opposition to some of the program.
C. TRAFFIC COMMISSION APPOINTMENT
Councilman Imperial stated that he,would like to make a motion
to reappoint Eldon Beezley to the Traffic Commission, and commented
that he had done an excellent job and has certainly been an asset
to the Traffic Commission.

that Eldon Beezley be reappointed to the Traffic Commission for
a term of two years. Vote resulted:
UPON ROLL CALL ALL COUNCILMEMBERS PRESENT VOTED AYE.
The Mayor declared said motion duly carried and so ordered.
D. WALNUT GROVE SLOPE BEAUTIFICATION
Frank G. Tripepi, City Manager,.stated that there are three
alternatives to the second phase of the project which is the
beautification and fencing.
Councilman Taylor stated that he felt that the cleaning
and the beautification was fine, however, his only reservation
is the expense and the necessity of putting in a block wall.
He felt that visiability eliminates the potential of things
happening.
Mayor Tury stated that he felt that in order to give privacy
to the back yards, the slats and the chain link fence would be
an acceptable compromise.
CM 4 -12 -83
Page #8
Councilman Imperial stated that the full intent of the
Council was that by taking out the bushes it would eliminate
the problem and replacing it with groundcover for beautifica-
tion. He feels it is going from one extreme to another by
talking about a block wall. He felt that it would set up a
target for the grafitti experts and would be something for
someone to hide behind. He stated that he could support
groundcover, but not a fence.
Councilman Taylor inquired what does the $17,000 for option
III include.
Frank G. Tripepi, City Manager, stated that it includes re-
placement of chain link fence and installation and resecuring with
new posts sunk in concrete and the installation of the slats.
MOTION BY COUNCILMAN TAYLOR, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN CICHY
that Option III be accepted and the staff be authorized to
develop specifications and seek bids, and with the alternative
to either replace or repair the chain link fence. Vote resulted:
AYES: Councilmen Cichy, Cleveland, Taylor and Mayor Tury
NAYES: Councilman Imperial
ABSTAIN: None
ABSENT: None
Whereupon the Mayor declared said motion duly carried and
so ordered.
Councilman Imperial requested that the record show that he
is in favor of the beautification project, however, he is not in
favor of the expense of a fence, 'and he felt that only groundcover
was needed.
E. SUPPORT OF LEGISLATIVE BILLS, SB 575, SB 888, & AB 678
MOTION BY COUNCILMAN IMPERIAL, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN'
CLEVELAND that the Legislative Advocate support SB 575, SB 888,

There being no objection, it was so ordered.
VII. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
A. Juan Nunez, 2702 Del Mar, stated that the Del Mar Project
had not been adequately watered to keep the dust level down. He
commented that he had made calls to the Deputy Engineer regarding
the matter and'was told that it would rain. The street has been
paved so that this complaint will not help him, however, it may
help,'others.
Councilman Taylor stated that daily job reports should be
required to be turned into the City Manager.
Councilman Imperial requested a memo from the City Manager
explaining where the problem is, for instance if Mr. Dickey had
made the contact that he was suppose to and it couldn't be done,
he wanted to know why. If there was a reason that he could not
contact someone in the Contractors Office, he wanted to know why.
Councilman Taylor stated that the requirement of daily job
reports should be part of the bid package and also the require-
ment of an inspectors report each day should be turned into the
City Manager.
Mayor Tury thanked Juan Nunez for the information and his
helpfulness, and apologized for the dust on Del Mar.

Juan Nunez commented on a pole that was in the middle of the
sidewalk just south of Garvey on the eastside that was moved and
it seems it will be in the middle of the sidewalk. He stated
that over on the westside, about the third post from Garvey on
the eastside of Del Mar the telephone company moved aPost and
it was put it in the center of the sidewalk.

and requested that daily work sheets be added to the bid packages,

Mayor Tury stated considering the enormity of the Del Mar project,
a good job has been done.
