ITEMS REQUIRING DISCUSSION & ACTION
1. Midvalley Manpower Consortium Joint Power Agreement
Councilman Imperial inquired if an Executive Session
could be held regarding the Midvalley Manpower Consortium
Joint Power Agreement.
Ed Dilkes, City Attorney, stated that he didn't feel this
discussion qualified as permitted reasons for an Executive
Session. The permitted reasons for such sessions are:
1. A threat to National security.
2. A threat or insurection creating a disruption of
public service.
3. The employment or dismissal of a public employee
by implication.
4. Pending litigation.
5. Matters having to do with collective bargaining.'
Councilman Hunter stated that there is a possiblility of
litigation.
Ed Dilkes, City Attorney, stated it would be permissible
to recess to an executive session to discuss the possibility of
litigation.
The Council recessed to an executive session at 8:25 p, m.
The Council reconvened from executive session at 8:35 p. m.
The Attorney, Ed Dilkes, stated that an executive session '
was not held as he met briefly with only Mr. Hunter and Mr. Cichy
and discussed two matters that Councilman Hunter had become aware
of in discussion with people associated with the Consortium and
those matters are proper matters for an Executive Session and
can be responded to by confidential memorandums as they do carry
with them some potential for litigation.
Mayor Cichy inquired if anyone in the audience would care
to speak regarding this matter.
Sergio Cabanillas, Executive Director, requested that a
study session be scheduled before the City takes any action to
withdraw from the Consortium as the gravity of the matter may
involve some litigation not only with the Consortium but with
the City of Rosemead.

Councilman Hunter stated that he and Councilman Imperial
had asked for and received a personnel session with the Board
of Directors of the Consortium and he wished to report to the
Council that it was his recommendation that it would be of
benefit to the City of Rosemead and to the other cities parti-
cipating if Rosemead withdrew at this point and time from the
Consortium.
Councilman Imperial stated every effort has been made to
make the Consortium idea work as an asset and he felt that the
problem did not lie with Consortium idea nor with the Board
of Directors, but with the management of it.
Councilwoman Trujillo stated that she had requested a
withdrawal from the consortium at the last Council Meeting
and she feels that this would be very poor timing to withdraw
since so many committments have now been made.
Mr. Cabanillas stated that he felt that a better job
had been done than was realized by the City of Rosemead, and
requested that representatives from Bienvenidos and the Arch-
diocese be allowed to express themselves.
Mike Sakamoto, Director of Bienvenidos, stated that he
was not aware of what the-County's decision would be regarding
the funding to them if the City withdrew from the Consortium,
but he felt it would be better if the representatives of the
City were there in order to have a voice in the decision making
of the Consortium.
Bob Guttierez, representative of the Archdiocese of Los
Angeles, stated that there had been an excellent working re-
lationship with the Consortium and there-had. been a minimum
amount of paperwork and bureaucratic tie ups to do his job in
Rosemead.
Councilman Hunter inquired what his job is in Rosemead
Mr. Guttierez stated that the diocese is administering
approximately a dozen slots in school/work experience program
and approximately two dozen during the summer, and the majority
of these are utilized at Maryvale Orphanage.
