CC-E APPROVAL OF PLANS & SPECIFICATIONS ON TRAFFIC SIGNAL
MODIFICATIONS AT KLINGERMAN/EDISON DRIVEWAY AND RUSH
AT WALNUT GROVE AND AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE FOR BIDS
Councilman Taylor inquired why the recommendation was to do
three signals instead of usual philosophy giving more work to a
contractor the more competitive bids are.
Tom Howard'stated that these projects were split in this manner
because of a couple of reasons. One was because four of the signals
that are budgeted are involved under HES funding. These signals are
in one group and the other signals are on Valley and Mission and
are grouped together. This so that we can have better control over
the Contractor rather than have them spread all over.
MOTION BY COUNCLMAN TAYLOR, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN IMPERIAL
that the Plans & Specifications be approved on Traffic Signal
Modification at Klingerman/Edison Driveway, and Rush at Walnut

Councilman Cichy stated that the waiver of the 60% is a
legitimate request.
Mayor Tury stated that he didn't have a problem with the
wiaver of the fee. The problem is a policy decision that is
being set, and there are numerous organizations that operate
in town and they could all make a similar request.
Margaret.Duran, 2446 LaPresa Avenue, stated that even though
this request may be setting a precedent it is for the entire com-
munity, and felt it would benefit the entire community.
Councilman Cichy stated that the waiving of the 60% is not
a part of the issue.
Mayor Tury also reiterated that the 60% fee is not an issue,
however, there are things that need to be cleared up and one is
if there is a responsible Board of Directors. There are no Incor-
poration papers, or the names of the directors.
Bob Bruesch, 3126 N. Isabel, stated that four years ago they
had incorporated and there was an active group of nine board mem-
bers. At this time they are down to three active board members.
In February this group met with the Boys Club of America representa-
tive, Jim Staumbach, and in every step of the way he has guided them.
He advised them it would be better to have funds in the bank before
having a meeting of a new board, however, he also advised that con-
tacts with various groups throughout the City should be made so that
a committment from those people would be available. Those committ-
ments have been made from at least 15 people to be on the Board.
Mayor Tury inquired of the City Attorney if the City is dealing
with a legal entity or an individual.
Mr. Bruesch stated that it was a legal entity and the Incorpora-
tion papers are on file with the State of California. He stated that
he would be happy to give copies of the Incorporation papers and Seal.
City Attorney stated that there may be some question of the
dormancy of the Corporation if there are.some six vacancies on a
Board of nine.
Mr. Bruesch stated that according to'law if there had been an
inactive period of over three years then it would be declared dor-
mant or void. There has not been an inactive period. The required
forms have been filed every year. Money has been collected and
spent on required activities within the City of Rosemead.
City Attorney, Robert Kress, inquired who the other two board
members were.
Mr. Bruesch stated that Mr. Alphonso Larrenago and Mrs.
Margaret Duran were on the board..
Mayor Tury stated that Mr. Larrenga stated that he was not
a Boardmember.
Councilman Taylor stated that he was disapointed in the lack
of information that was brought forth on this request and he would
have liked to help the youth groups, but he could not vote for this
due to the lack of information, and too many questions unanswered.
After much more discussion, it was decided that a list of the
Board of Directors and documentation of Incorporation be presented
to the Council and that this item be.held over.
There being no objection, it was so ordered.

to put in an entire new roadway.

$50,000 on $490,000 project. He stated that the whole street could
be demolished out and if the right compaction isn't there, there
could be a spotty problems with a brand new section. There has to
be quality control. ,
