SPECIAL REQUEST TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL:
A. STEVE EDNEY - PRESIDENT, UNITED CANNERY AND INDUSTRIAL WORKERS.
Ur. Edney addressed the Council stating that he represents
employees of the United Cannery and Industrial Workers of the
Pacfic AFL-CIO who will be loosing their jobs as a result of
Urgency Ordinance No. 365 which restricts trucks on Rosemead
Place, Whitmore Street, and Driggs Avenue. He asked that the
Council reconsider the action and work with the Company, the
People of the community and the Union for a resolution to
the problem.
For the benefit of the audience, it was explained that there is
an existing problem of heavy commercial property (La Victoria)
located in the City of E1 Monte, with the only access fbr.the
big-trucks:through a residehtial area in the City of Rosemead,
causing the residents much inconvenience.
Attorney Watson reported that legal action has been filed by
La Victoria in which they seek a temporary restraining order
and a preliminary injunction; and an ultimate permanent
injunction to restrain enforcement of Ordinance No. 365. He
stated that the temporary restraining order was denied and the
hearing for the preliminary injunction is set for November 28th
at L.A. Superior Court.
Mr. Watson advised Mr. Edney that this problem has existed for
many years and has developed to a point of hardship for the
residents in the area. He stated that there is a solution to
the problem and urged Mr. Edney, through the employees, to
encourage the company to initiate action with the City of
E1 Monte for a roadway through adjacent industrial property to
Garvey Avenue (a truck route). The City could form an assess-
ment district and condemn the property for the roadway, placing
the cost on the property benefitted (being primarily the property
of La Victoria). He suggested that the company needs to be
convinced that it is in its economic interest to have a roadway
across the industrial property to the truck route.
Mr. Watson also stated that if an attempt is not made to solve
the problem, he would have no other alternative but to recommend
to the Rosemead City Council that they seek a public nuisance
abatement action against the company.
22. MATTERS FROM CITY OFFICIALS.
Mayor Pike presented a letter from the Rosemead School District
which urged no action at this time on a feasibility study on
school districts. Mayor Pike suggested that the City discontinue
further action at this time on the School District Feasibility Study.
There were no objections.
City Manager Gunn presented a notice of the Annual Legislative
Conference to be held in Sacramento on January 16th and 17th.
He urged the Council to advise the staff in the near future if they
will attend so that reservations can be made.
