E. BROKEN BEER BOTTLES Councilman Taylor stated that at the Rosemead Baseball diamond he picked up 20 glass beer bottles which were:.broken and a champagne bottle. Although, it is posted and there is a County Ordinance and City Ordinances, it is still a problem. He stated that staff was doing a fine job in keeping the parks clean,,but he felt that this was an enforcement problem. Frank G. Tripepi, City Manager, introcued liaison Lieu- tenant John Phillips and stated that he would handle this pro- blem. F. TRASH CONTRACT Taylor: A couple of weeks ago Councilman Tury asked us to give opinions on some proposed modifications for that Con- tract. We were given a letter on April the 27th asking to re- spond to Mr: Tury about our objections or agreements on that letter. I talked to Mr. Tury and I objected to some of it, but he was trying to do the best he could on it. That was the 27th and the night of the Council Meeting on the 28th I expressed my concerns to him about it and the fact that it was a public document that it should be negotiated, but above and beyond that I was told by the City'Manager and staff at that Council Meeting there would be no action.taken until we got back a cost analysis of what-the overall cost of that contract would be. I am really puzzled why on the following night April 29th a letter was sent to Mr. Griegorian and then we received a cost analysis on May 5th. So'I mentioned I was in disagreement with that particular proposal being submitted on a confidential basis. I think it is a public document. I received the cost analysis on May 5th and the same day we got a letter back from Andrews and Moore,'Mr. Griegorian's Attorneys.' So, I think there was something that we were mislead in one sense, that there would be nothing given to Mr. Griegorian,yet, it went out the next day, and I don''t know on what basis. Tury: Being as 2 was the one that got roped into the damn thing in the first place, I want to explain what happened. That night, Gary,'I had four people saying mail it off. I had given my word, and you were sitting right here, that I would negoti- ate and I would have an offer to him in two weeks and that offer went in two weeks, the day of two weeks. It is my understanding that he is not going to accept it. Quite, frankly, I am going to turn it back to the Mayor. Taylor: We all try to do the best we can. Tury: This is a no win situation. We have a lousy contract to start out with, and anyway we go you have Mr. Henderson down here who is made because Mr. Griegorian is enforcing the Con- tract. We have people who are upset about the rates. We have a Contractor who is upset because the rates are not high enough. It is quite a mess.- CM 5-12-81 Page #6 Taylor: I think we have a contract, and you are correct, the contractor is not happy with it. Mr. Henderson stood here before us tonight and asked us where this contract came from, how long it has been in effect and this Council told him that it goes back, ten, eleven, fifteen years whatever it was, we are not responsible for it. It was here before we got here. You told him that it was in effect until 1991 another ten years. That Contract that we have as it exists right now is the best contract we've got. We complained and myself primarily about paying $20,000 a year delinquent Trash pick-up bills. Mr. Henderson claims that he is going to see his attorney. I felt like telling him don't waste your money, Mr. Henderson, just don't pay your bills, the City picks up the tab on all delinquent payments. There is 150 businesses that come under what Mr. Henderson was talking about at $300 a year that's $45,000 that the City can pick-up the tab for. Then, I think we've got a little more chance of a law suit because how can Mr. Griegorian let it free ride as long as he wants then come in and turn around and say I am pulling this clause out now. I say keep the Con- tract the way it is. You hold him at his 7% percent increase and let him live with his contract that he mandated to this Council two or three years ago. It is the best thing that we have got going right now because anything we give him now.'is in his favor. Tury: I don't agree with you Mr. Mayor, Mr. Taylor, but we will see what else we see to. Taylor: I appreciate your clarifying what happened, when I was told nothing would be given to Mr. Griegorian until we had a cost analysis, it did not matter what the citizens of this community pay for, you told him that you would give him an agreement of conditions, whatever, within two weeks and it was presented to him. Fortunately, we are not held by that agreement. It was your offer. Tury: It was the offer of the majority of this Council. Taylor: Mr. Mayor, I would like that in writing from the City Attorney. You just heard four affirmative votes. I would like to know where that was decided or that is back-room politics. I would like the City Attorney from what he has just heard explain that. Is that correct Mr. Attorney. Kress: That!s a fairly compound question to answer. Taylor: He had four votes that night don't say compound. Imperial: We did not have, in my opinion, four votes. We had a concensus of opinion that we had something that we could offer Mr. Griegorian to see if he would accept. Let's be careful Councilman Taylor that we don't say that we had four votes. If we had four votes, it would happen right out here. That is not back-room politics. We did not have four votes, it was a consensus of opinion that we had a document that could be sent forw-rd and no one voted on it: Now, I'll speak in my opinion, exactly what happened. We did not have four votes, we had a consensus of opinion. Thank you. Kress: First of all, I share a lot of concerns that you have raised and I have done so in writing over the past year. You and all the rest of the Council have those documents. As to what has transpired I think if you will review the minutes when this matter was considered.in a study session, there was an agreement that the Mayor would meet with the Contractor to discuss this. He has done that. I have met with the Mayor, I have discussed certain strategies and wordings and that infor- mation was shared, no votes were taken. I don't believe that the offer as presented is capable of being accepted and I'll be happy to discuss that with you in greater detail after the Meeting. I feel that is a matter of strategy that should not be discussed from an Attorney to his client in an open public meeting. I have discussed this matter with the new Mayor and given him my advice and counsel on how to proceed. I think that CM 5-12-81 Page #7 we are dealing with a very serious situation here and one of which if there can't be unity then at least there has to be a selected spokesperson or a committee or something'. We certainly don't want to'give Mr. Griegorian the right to pick and choose who he is talking to. If there is a counter proposal in the letter from Mr. Andrews, indicates that he will be coming for- ward with a counter proposal in lawyers language that means that they are not going to accept what was presented. They are going to come back with something else, and I would expect that the negotiations on this matter in a lengthy effort to dis- cuss and resolve these issues which are capable of resolution outside of a meeting. I think that process is essentially done. I think'former Mayor Tury made a committment to get a proposal and and the City was wrongly accused, in my opinion, of bad' faith in negotiations and Mr. Tury attempted to take that issue off the table by presenting a proposal and this certainly did not involve many of the things that the Contractor wants, and would have to be fairly characterized as compromise. Perhaps, it is compromise that neither side wants. 'I don't know, but that is what has happened. Imperial: I would like to add just one thing. I have talked to the Contractor'in question and it is not a very favorable position to be in. I certainly have to commend our past Mayor for wanting to continue with this responsibility and come up'with some kind of a document which he had promised that he would try to do while holding the Mayor's chair. I think in this particular instance this takes a lot of courage. I think that the document that went forward that was not a voted on document that was something, in my opinion, showing the good faith of this City. If this Contractor decides that he doesn't want to accept this good faith then as far'as I am concerned that is why we pay our City Attorney. He can deal with him from then on. Tury: I have put countless hours into this, some good and some bad. At this time I withdraw from the negotiation. Imperial: O. K. Mr. Tury 2 can certainly respect that and at this point,I would request that any negotiation on this con- tract from this point on be done between our City Manager and our City Attorney. Hunter: We hire the City Attorney to give us legal advice and we hire the City Manager to administer the City, we do not hire them to make decisions at this level. No, we have to nego- tiate it. Taylor; I agree 100% with what Mr. Hunter is saying. There can be proposals made and let them bring it before this Council and all five of us can negotiate. Cichy: Well, Mr. Mayor,; negotiations require compromise and you want to change an existing contract. I have found in representing various parties in negotiations and the one thing that blocks is hostility and one place that you don't do it is where feelings get raised and people make accusations. This is not the place to have it. This is a place to vote on these issues, and to vote on it without acrimonious assaults based upon people and character assasination. I think we should like committee. 'However, much"we dislike it. We have gone through it it so damn many times that I'm sick of it. Mayor Tury did what he had to do and we did it three years before that and three years before that. We are trying to make changes that the major- ity of the Council wants to make and if Mr. Griegorian makes an alternate.proposal, we will have to make another one back to him until we resolve the problem and this is not the place to do it. CM 5-12-81 Page #8 Imperial: I would hate to see, whether it be City nego- tiations for employees or contract negotiations with the Union to be made in the middle of the Union.Hall with all the members there. That is not in proper prospective and neither is this. Any negotiations that is done in this Council Chamber. Any other questions on this item. Cichy: Maybe, we should wait for a response from the oppo- site side of this particular case to see what they do to the information that went out. This is what would 'have to be voted on anyway. Imperial: It is my understanding that that response is going back to Councilman Tury and who has-at this point resigned. Tury: I will carry through with the Meeting tomorrow, but that is it. G. Councilman Tyalor stated that he had requested a re- port on the Sound Ordinance and the Yard Sales. He did receive a report on one property on Rosemead Blvd., but this week-end Yard sales were going on again on that particular property. He stated that he would like to know what is going on. Frank G. Tripepi, City Manager, stated that the property that Councilman Taylor referred to that was going on this week- end was south of Ralph Street and the one that was closed last week was right on the corner of Ralph and Rosemead Boulevard. This property was selling new items and that was a retail oper- ation, but the items being sold at the property soulth of Ralph was obviously used items. Councilman Taylor requested that an ordinance that had been proposed seven years ago should be brought back for study, and the Sound Ordinance regarding the after hours construction work that goes on on Sunday mornings should be checked into to-see what can be done. He requested'a report back. H. TRASH CONTRACT Tury: I would like the Attorney to make a written report on the negotiating techniques on the negotiations with Modern Service. How it was handled, If I have done something wrong I would like to know about it. I will not tolerate it. I will not tolerate taking my time from my business. My time for this City and be accused of back room politics. Be accused of col- lusion. I' will fully intend to answer any questions like that I will be prepared, Sir. Taylor: As far as my accusation against Mr. Tury. I was told that we would have that information and because he got the consensus of'four or three other members that's fine. he did not say anything about that and it has'happened in the past where someone will say that I have talked with ohter members and they have agreed. That's fine, but the very next day he had the consensus evidently that night. That is what really upset me. Tury: Mr. Taylor I questioned every one at that Meeting. I polled every one at that Meeting. There was no vote. I asked you what you thought about it, I asked Jay what he thought about it, and I asked Marvin and I asked Herb. Before that, I met on my time with the Attorney and Frank for several hours to put the thing together and get their input into it. Adjusting and making it where we considered the best possible deal for the City. If you could do better I wished the Hell you would have done it. CM 5-12-81 Page #9 . Taylor: That's one reason it does divide the Council some-, what in whose going to negotiate with Mr. Griegorian. Because-' in the 7 years that I have been on the Council, and prior to that, no negotiates with him and stands up with the Contract. I am saying that we have a pretty darn good contract now compared to what he wants and no one wants to stand up to it. Hunter: If we are going to debate the contract, I think he is right we do have a good contract for our citizens, but it is not right for our City to pick-up dead beats. I think it is one point that you wanted changed and the entire Council. Let's get it where it belongs on the tax bill. When a person leases his property or rents his property, then he becomes responsible for it, not this City. That is the only point I want changed. Taylor: We are all in agreement there. $20,000 in delinquent fees is not fair to the rest of this community. But as I stated to get back that $20,000 in this most current cost breakdown we have here it talks about the increase will be an additional $4,700 per month. This above and beyond his current 7% increase. Multiply $4,700 times 12 months that is a little over $50,000. That one item gives him over $50,000 increase to get back the $20,000. Tury: Mr. Taylor you are wrong. It is $20,000 plus the delinquents like Mr. Henderson who will not pay. It will come to about $55,000. It is not that so much. Frank, how much staff time is put into trying to collect those bills. Postage, extra person just to handle the damn delinquencies. Imperial: Gentlemen, I think we are beating a dead horse. We cannot make any decision tonight. We cannot go any further than we have gone already because we have no input from Modern Services. I'would suggest that this conversation terminate until we have some new knowledge of what Modern Services are. I. Mayor Imperial suggested a Legislative Dinner honoring our elected officials at the Congressional, State Senate and State Assembly level. Mayor-Imperial requested that the City Manager make these arrangements with Congressman George Danielson, Assemblywoman Sally Tanner and State Senator Joseph Montoya. J. Mayor Imperial stated that the Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring a Golf Tournament on June 9., 1981 which is a Council- meeting night and he suggested that this Meeting be conducted on June 10, 1981 instead. There being no objection,it was so ordered. K. Mayor Imperial stated that a Budget Study Session will be held on May 23, 1981. L. Mayor Imperial stated that there would be a Meeting with Supervisor Pete Schabarum at 8:00 a. m. The Councilmeeting was adjourned to the Budget Session on May 23, 19.81. Respectfully submitted: APPROVED: City Clerk of he City of Rosemead CM 5-12-81 Page #10
