Marion Rizzo, 4416 Bartlett Avenue, stated that she did not want the street to become a cul-de-sac because it would take too much of their property. She wanted to be on record that she is opposed to the cul-de-sac but is very much in favor of improvement of that street. B. Terry Moya, 3053 N. San Gabriel Blvd., stated that his rent had been increased $100 per month for trailer space and inquired if the Council could do anything about it. Mayor Taylor stated that the City of Rosemead did not have a rent control ordinance, and at this time there was nothing that the City could do to limit his rent increase. 11 Mrs. Tingley, 3053 N. San Gabriel, landlady of the trailer park, stated that the reason they raised Mr. Moya's rent was that he recently had a child and the mobile home park is-not suitable for children and they had requested that he leave as there are no other children in the park.

ASSIGNMENT OF CONTRACTS FOR CETA PROGRAM Mayor Taylor stated that the reason that he had deferred the minutes of the study session of July 23, 1979 was because he felt there was a discrepancy in one of the statements, and he requested that the minutes be transcribed verbatim. There being no objection, it was so ordered. Frank O'Sullivan, West San Gabriel Manpower Consortium.Admini- strator, answered the many questions that the Mayor asked regarding the CETA programs. Doug Shaw, Mid-Valley Manpower Consortium, also answered the questions that were directed to him regarding the administration of the Mid-Valley Consortium. Juan Nunez, 2704 Del Mar, inquired if the problems with Bien- venidos had been brought to the Council's attention. Mayor Taylor stated that they had been made aware of the pro- blems. Councilman Hunter stated that he would oppose the West San Gabriel Manpower Consortium because he would rather keep the money:in our supervisorial district. MOTION BY COUNCILMAN IMPERIAL, SECONDED BY MAYOR TAYLOR - that the CETA Funding'through'the West- San:;Gabriel'.Val,ley_, Man-power Consortium, be recommended: Vote resulted: AYES: Councilmen Imperial, NAPES: Councilman Hunter ABSENT: Councilman Cichy Whereupon the Mayor declared so ordered. Tury and Mayor Taylor said motion duly carried and CM 8-14-79 Page #4 "VERBATIM" B. ASSIGNMENT OF CONTRACTS FOR CETA PROGRAM Mayor Taylor stated that there was a letter in the packet from Mr. John Farley who is from the Department of Community Development County of Los Angeles. It states, it is for Mr. Lomeli,"you had. inquired as to departmental assessment practices in our Public Ser- vices Employment Program. We do not conduct the kind of assessments you are requesting on a regular basis. I can tell you that on the basis of their performance over the past several years, both Mid- Valley Manpower Consortium and West San Gabriel Valley Consortium are competent operators of our CETA PSE program. You would be assured that your City will receive competent service of whatever choise you request; Mid-Valley Manpower Consortium has a considerably greater administative and funding base, if that is a factor in your consideration." Mayor Taylor stated that"in the first paragraph where it states that regular assessments are not made, it is his understanding that all the programs all the programs have to be evaluated every year and if not some of them are on a six month review program. The second paragraph;'I''can:t.ell you that on the basis of their performance over the past several years that Mid-Valley Manpower Consortium and West San Gabriel Valley Consortium are competent operators" I think that the Council can recall that a year ago or maybe a little less there was quite a controversy in some of the internal problems of job place- ment and such in Mid-Valley. I don't know who Mr. John Farley is, but both of these statements seem to be contradictory to what I know for a fact. Maybe not the specifics of what did happen, but I feel that it contradictory for what did take place and the assessment programs that are handled quite regularly. I had asked a couple of weeks ago that this Council be given the most recent assessment of the different agencies and. to this day this is the only reply that I have received, that these assesssments are not available. When Mr. O'Sullivan was here, he informed me that his rating was already out, and I don't have that one. Mayor Taylor inquired if Mr. Lomeli had a comment. Mr. Lomeli stated that the fi.rst.paragraph.refers to:the.fact the County does not conduct assessments on Title II D program and the Title VI Project Program, which is the type of CETA Program the City is going into at the time. The County does a regular assessment on the Title II B Program which the City at this point and time does not have a contract for. So the rating for that program would not effect the City. Mayor Taylor inquired "if from what you just said is it true that none of these programs are regulated other than just II B. Mr. Lomeli stated that was correct., and said that there was a recent assessment done on the Title II D program and Title VI program as far as contract compliance, but is not an assessment as far as job development and job placement. Contract compliance merely reflects back on whether the contractors are competent as far as contracting. Neither agency;. at this point in time as far as I know, having had conversation with both directors last week, didn't have copies of the current assessment, and both directors are here tonight, Mr. Shaw and Mr. O'Sullivan. Mayor Taylor stated that he had made the comment that he had asked Mr. O'Sullivan as far as the actually rating goes. "Mr. 0' Sullivan, can you tell us, maybe I'm mistaken, what rating you have as far as your agency is concerned, your consortium?" Mr. O'Sullivan stated that his ratings in the last few years have been 93% out of 1.00%, and the rating schedule and assessment by the County is here. Mayor Taylor inquired what that rating actually compose? Mr. Lomeli just mentioned two`--- Mr. O'Sullivan stated that it covers on the job training and classroom training, all. work experience. Mr. Lomeli stated "which is a Title II B program." CM 8-14-79 Page #5, • • Mr. O'Sullivan stated "right", and it should cover everything. If you're going to rate anything, you should rate them all. Mayor Taylor "Does that program do that rating?" Mr. O'Sullivan "It doesn't summer programs and other types of things, but the Department of Labor intends to see to it that its done. If youre going to spend funds from the Taxpayers and rate one program then you should rate them all. In other words if youre going to spend money and you expect performance then they should be rated." Mr. Lomeli "At this point in time, the Title II B and Title VI project program have not been rated, correct" Mr. O'Sullivan "No, but any Public Service Employment from now on will be rated.very heavy, or they will not be funded." Mayor Taylor inquired "the report that you have in your hand there, as far as your rating, you mentioned on the job training, classroom thing and such. How many programs do you actually have? You say there are six or seven different programs." Mr. O'Sullivan "we have four" Mayor Taylor "How many are rated in that book?" Mr. O'Sullivan "ore have four.'. We have work experience out of school, work experience in school, on the job training, class- room training." Mayor Taylor stated that we are not really proposing a new program in the sense that what monies would be allocated would come under the same rating system that we already have. Mr. O'Sullivan stated "I believe that all programs that are funded under the City of Rosemead will be rated roughly according to the Department of Labor regulations." Mayor Taylor stated that the point that he was trying to make was that he was asking for ratings and that seems to cover all your programs. Mr. O'Sullivan "It does, and they have all been rated. So I just have to bring the manual." Mr, Lomeli stated that the Title II B and the Title VI project program have not been rated. Mr. O'Sullivan stated "Yes, Public Service has not been rated." Mr. Lomeli stated "What you are referring to are four components that under a title that the City of Rosemead does not have currently. Mayor Taylor stated "I am not asking for something that we do not have, I am asking for current programs." Mr. O'Sullivan stated that the City of Rosemead is responsible for all monies spent within the City of Rosemead regardless of the title and regardless of who conducts it, if they want to do it. Mr. Dilkes, City Attorney, stated that there are a myriad of different titles. Apparently, there is a rating system for one of them which is a program that we do not have. We don't employ CETA for one way or the other. There is apparently, no system that exists for evaluating performance in the titles that we do have. (There is a very good rating system apparently for Chevys and the program that we are involved with deals with Fords.) CM 8-14-79 Page #6 • Mayor Taylor stated that this would have to be claried be- tween Mr. O'Sullivan and Mr. Shaw. Do you both have ratings of the same programs? In other words, what you refer to Mr. O'Sulli- van, does Mr. Shaw have similar ratings? That way we can look at the ratings and see whether we have the program or not, we want to see the current ratings of which consortium is doing a better job. Mr. O'Sullivan stated "Both of our Consortiums have been rated by the County and they have been rated every three months.. The County has not obviously submitted that to you;.but the other problem is of course, you are talking about presumably, Public Service Employment, but that is just one facet of the CETA program and it is important facet, but other money is spent, other money that has been allocated to Rosemead have been spent by other agencies that may or may hot be in the City of Rosemead. For instance you have Bienvenidos, you may have others. Those funds should be under the direct control. of the City and they are not." Mayor Taylor inquired if there were any questions or comments from the Council? Mayor Taylor stated that we had been with Mid-Valley two years ago and Mr. O'Sullivan as far as your concerned I think it has been about at least three years since the CETA programs first--not the CETA program itself, but a selection of the Agencies or Consor- tiums came before the Council, and I happen to lean towards the Nest San Gabriel Valley because of the fact that I know that the report that you have given us previously that out of 119 agencies you are rated no. 1. on it. I have to lean towards that. As far as I'm concerned, being no. 1, in trying to help the youth in the CETA program to try to get into a program who has the highest rat- ing." Councilman Hunter inquired if he said "west" maybe "I mis- understood you... Are you talking about the Alhambra Consortium?" Mayor Taylor "Yes, the West San Gabriel Valley,. not the east." Councilman Hunter stated that the Memo stated "East San Gab- riel Valley". Mr. O'Sullivan stated that they are called "Nest San Gabriel Valley, Alhambra and Monterey Park". Mayor Taylor stated "If you recall, Mr. Hunter, a year ago, we had gone through a lot of emotions of trying to decide which consortium to join and we were given considerable information directly from the County saying that we had an August 31st cut- off, and we in fact met that date and made a selection more or less at that time and then the County came back with some letters saying---I must clarify by saying the first letter we got stating the dead line date so we met the dead line date, and then thev turned right around again from the County saying that it was in- valid because we should have done it in the Spring of the year. So we are pertaining to the Nest San Gabriel Valley and the East San Gabriel Valley we have had no dealings with whatsoever." Councilman Hunter stated "Mr. O'Sullivan you represent the Nest San Gabriel Valley Consortium and Mr. Shaw you represent the Mid Valley Consortium.- Mr. Mayor I am following there. You were leaning toward the Nest San Gabriel Consortium. I would oppose that., Mr. O'Sullivan is that in fact in Supervisor Ward's super- visorial district or Mr. Schabarum's. Where are you located? Mr. O'Sullivan stated that he serves two Supervisorial Dis- tricts, Mr. Wards and Mr. Edleman. Councilman Hunter inquired what Supervisorial. District Mr. Shaw serves. . Mr. Shaw stated that he serves one District and that is Mr. Schabarums District. CM gage-J Councilman Hunter stated "I would have to vote "no" on the west, if that's what we are going to call it, and Mr. O'Sulli- van that is not a slam to you sir at all. In fact, if I were voting on you two gentlemen I would be remiss in my duties because both of you gentlemen are replaceable, the offices which you hold are not. My belief is that we should keep the money in our Super- visorial District. You wanted to correct the minutes because Mr. Ward and Mr. Schabarum have a difference. I don't give a hoot about their two differences, but what I do care about is the area in which this City is totally involved and that is the 1st Super- visorial District. So, Mr. Mayor, if you were making the motion and that is the way you were leaning toward the "west" then I would oppose it." Mayor Taylor stated that as far as the "and I intend on cor- responding with Mr. Schabarum in the sense that he would be recep- table and Mr. Tripepi there was some comment made about Mr. Scha- barum did not really have a preference he wanted the City to go ahead and make a recommendation. The money will stay within the City of Rosemead whether it be through an Agency within the boun- daries of Mr. Ward's Supervisorial District all the slots will go to the Rosemead youth. It is just a question of a higher rated program. I feel that West San Gabriel Valley has that program just because of the record we were given. It is not going out of this Supervisorial District #1. Mr. O'Sullivan clarified that the money still would be spent strictly on the youth that.are in the City of Rosemead Mr. O'Sullivan spoke away from the microphone and impossible to transcribe. Councilman Imperial. stated "I have problems placing any relevance between the Supervisorial Districts and where this money is going to be spent and this money has to be spent in Rosemead. I don't feel that we are going to be penalized in the future be- cause we happen to engage a contractor for the slots that happens not to be in our Supervisorial District. I kind of equate this to the City handing a Contract for a job to someone outside of the City because he gave his the best or lowest bid. I really don't have any problems with that or the West Valley Manpower Consortium whatsoever. We have had problems in the City, I ex- pressed my reservations during the Meeting of the 23rd of July, on any involvement with what we have had in the past, and what we will be getting in the future. I really have some fears with this and therefore I see no problems with trying the West Valley Consortium. We haven't tried them and they are not involved.with anyone that has been here before and I can certainly recommend trying them. You can take that as a form of a motion" Mayor Taylor stated that he would second the motion. Councilman Tury inquired of Mr. Lomeli that the City of Rose- mead would pull out of ChTA,then why are we being asked where to put the money. Obviously, it will go back to the County and they will put it where they want to anyway, Mr. Lomeli stated that this is just a recommendation from the City to the County. Mayor Taylor said "that Mr, Shaw had stated in the Study Session that if the Council did not make a recommendation the County could then chose to put it anywhere. Whoever had the most influence with the County or whoever the County decided that is where it would actually go, because we did not give.them a recom- mendation. That is why I fee]. so strongly that we have got to give them that recommendation," Councilman Hunter stated "Your last statement really put into perspective what I was trying to say. Our Supervisorial District is controlled by Mr. Schabarum. Now if you didn't believe that would not have any bearing on then you last statement doesn't hold water, about the Supervisors and how much influence they have and the fact that we are making a recommendation. If this has no in- fluence then why make a recommendation in the first place." CM age,# 9 Pge;# E 0 Mayor Taylor stated "I believe it does have influence" Councilman Hunter stated "you bet, that's why I think we should stay in our own Supervisori.al District". Mayor Taylor stated "It has influence on how it would actu- ally be spent". Councilman Hunter stated"It goes deeper than that and both of these gentlemen know it and you get a Supervisor on your but out there and you are going to have some problems. We know that in our City, we have had to go to the Supervisors many times for assistance and street projects and what have you, and I personally slap in Schabarum's face. We may not agree with him on each and all of his philosophies but we had better agree on where the money comes from. Personally, I can'.t see it going another Supervisors district." Mayor Taylor stated "I don't think Mr. Schabarum is the type of person that is going to hold a vendetta against the City of Rosemead because we chose to pick what we thought was the best program to serve the youth of. Rosemead disregarding the Super- visorial District. If he is going to intimidate us with that type of thing. I just don't believe he would." Councilman Hunter "You might be right. I agree with you he is that type of man. He is a very honorable man, but that is not the question. I think our loyalties are in question." Mayor Taylor stated "I made the statement that I intend on corresponding with him tomorrow on why I took the stand I did take on this." Councilman Hunter stated "I hope you will reserve a para- graph for my feelings." Mayor Taylor stated that he will certainly get the feelings of the Council, but I think it is the best thing for the youth of the City that we pick the best program or give it a try anyway. Councilman Hunter stated "I think I know how the vote will go but I have to ask one more question. It is really immaterial to me where it goes other than a question of loyalty. If you are so adamant of getting the best possible program for the youth of Rosemead, where are your ratings." Mayor Taylor stated "I have the ratings" Councilman Hunter stated "I would like some specifics". Would they employ more of our youth? Would Mid-Valley have the same number of slots ? Mayor Taylor stated that would both have the same number of slots. Councilman Hunter inquired "Can one consortium pay a higher price or higher wage than the other?" Mayor Taylor stated "No but they can administer differently and evaluated by other governmental agencies that can tell. which one is performing the best functions, and based upon that rating, that is what. I am basing my vote on." Councilman Hunter stated "My argument is not with you Mr. Mayor but with the Agencies that make these ratings. You are looking at just billions and billions of dollars that are not seen any more. They go alphabetically--what number are we Marty, D or E, and that is how they confuse everybody. They add a number to it and give them a new set of guidelines and rules to it and I don't think even the accounting office can tell you what is going on. I find it very difficult to rate these agencies as far as helping the youth of Rosemead. When you say it is a better program then I sav I would like to see it proved." CM 8-14=79 Page #9 • Mayor Taylor stated "I say administration" Councilman Tury inquired "Where are the ratings; I haven't seen the ratings. Mr. O'Sullivan says he has the highest rating, and Mr. Shaw may say the same thing" Mr. Shaw stated that he does not have his ratings with him. The ratings that he has in the II B program which is OJT and classroom training and work experience, in OJT we are on proba- tion. We have three organizations funded in OJT, Bassett Barrio Counsel which defunded by the County of Los Angeles. Mayor Taylor inquired how long have they been in your program? Mr. Shaw stated two years. We have funded them for the past two years. UAW this year, we defunded them under our own guidelines because of the lack of performance of that agency and another.Agency called Inner-Community which is in Baldwin Park. Because of those problems that we have had with those agencies because of defunding of those agencies, we are not performing as we should in OJT com- ponant. Mayor Taylor inquired who ordered those agencies defunded? Inner Community and UAW were defunded by my Board of Directors Mr. Shaw stated, and Bassett Barrio we would have done the same thing, but we were asked to hold off because the County was inves- tigating them and when they recommended defunding we followed suit and defunded them also. Mr. Shaw stated that they are on probation on OJT and in their {York Experience program the score is 997o and in Classroom training program the score is in the 80's. Mr. O'Sullivan stated that he was in 93% in all components, but it fluctuates. Unfortunately, as Mr. Dilkes explained in his analogy in that you are comparing Chevy's with Fords. The II B program basically has four components but in the PSE program you are talking about jobs where you are placing people in community agencies whether it is City Government, Federal Government. It is a different animal. A different type of program. It is unfortunate that we don't have a rating system from the County of Los Angeles to go by. The only rating system that we have, and it would have been nice to been able to give a complete presentation. To give a complete presen- tation on the PSE program, as it deals with training components, deals with placement of jobs, skill levels and coordination of participants with jobs. There is a whole matrix there that is . much different than the II B program. The II B program ratings system that you are talking about. Mayor Taylor stated that is the only rating that the both of you have that we can look at to make a comparison. Mr. Shaw stated that in the classroom ratings they are in the 807o and in the work experience in the 997o and in the OJT in the 60% and we are on probation there. Mayor Taylor inquired if Mr. O'Sullivan was on probation on any program? Mr. O'Sullivan stated that they defunded Bassett Barrio two years ago. Mayor Taylor inquired why they defunded them? Mr. O'Sullivan stated that he made up his own mind to defund them. Mayor Taylor stated that was what he meant' by Administration. Mr. O'Sullivan stated that Bassett Barrio dial not perform and they gave them 6 months notice and also told Bienvenidos the same thing, but they happen to let Bienvenidos go a little longer only because they happen to have great confidence in the Executive Direc- tor, Alike Sakamoto. They got their books mixed up and they did not produce. They defunded CIIRA, OIC and Bassett Barrio and couple of others.because they could not produce.within six months you will have the money taken away from you and we are going to give it to someone else who can do the job. CM 8-14-79 Page #10 Mayor Tayl stated that the program the same, but I am basing it on thorecord of the administrates of the program. As far as I am concerned the West San Gabriel Valley is running a better program. Mr. O'Sullivan stated that according to our plan with the County the should\'''hitting 80% and we were hitting 75%, but that is because our classroom training was good enough so they gave us another $120,000. The County was late, but they finally got going in November, but when they give someone an additional$1_20,000 it is difficult to get the thing moving so our classroom training was a little slow, but we told every agency very simply that you double your enrollment, you'll get more people and you will get those people on the job as soon as you can. Person.by person.by person, in other words you are not going to sit there for three or four months. If they can do the job then get them out to do it. We were lucky to get the $120,000 but it does make a problem. It makes a problem with the classroom training and trying to in- crease various schools. At any rate we figure that generally speaking we are getting 507o higher than we intended to do.training and ge't'ting jobs. At the rate we are going we should hit about 99% total expenditures and we will exceed our program by about 500. Mayor Taylor thanked Mr. O'Sullivan. Mayor Taylor stated that we have gone through two different programs already and I can only say that if this Council doesn't think that West San Gabriel Valley is doing a good job, it may be back here next year as far as going back to the County but at least they should be entitled to a chance to see what they can do with it. Mr. Shaw stated that he would like to clarify one thing and he would make it short. "Last year the Bassett Barrio was funded from us by $150,000 they not only met that obligation with quality type of work and exceeded it by $1.2,000. They did a very good job for us.last year. Bassett Barrio was doing a very good job this year because we monitor that program, we monitor all of our pro- grams on a monthly basis. We held off on Bassett Barrio because we knew the County was going through that process and when the County made their decision we followed that decision. We would have done the same thing but we Icrasw that the County was going through it and we waited for them to finish, then we followed suit with Bassett Barrio. On the defunding procedure we have defunded six agencies this year, and those six agencies were defunded be- cause they did not perform and this is an implementation that I have put in since I have been administrator of the program. We have an evaluation committee now that evaluates every program that applies to us whether it is PSE, II B , or IV B any of the pro- grams and evaluation committee is made up of City Managers and City representatives like the gentlemen from the City of Hope. So the type of program that we run administratively is very tight." Juan Nunez, 2704 Del Mar, inquired who audits these programs?
