CC - Item 4B - Minutes 08-08-06Minutes of the Regular Meeting Rosemead City Council August 8, 2006 Mayor Pro Tern Nunez called the meeting to order at 8:00 PM and led the pledge to the flag. The Invocation was led by Pastor Ken Fong. Roll Call: Present: Clark, Imperial, Tran, Mayor Pro Tern Nunez Absent: Mayor Taylor (out of town) 1. PUBLIC COMMENT Christine McLeod, Public Affairs Manager for Southern California Edison, clarified Edison's proposed service to the Wal-Mart facility. She indicated citizen concerns are correctly directed towards city officials. Edison's obligation under the CPU directive under which it operates, mandates that it provide service to any home or business which requests it, in compliance with any local ordinances. Councilmember Imperial requested and received a business card for potential questions. Councilmember Clark asked if residents had been notified about power outages. Ms. McLeod indicated that the outage was a separate issue from the proposed service to Wal-Mart and was something that was already planned to upgrade service to the area. Edison is coordinating both efforts on one day so customers are not inconvenienced on two separate days. On August 16th, Edison sent postcards and gave residents 72 hour notice about the outage as mandated by city ordinance. Ms. McLeod further stated that Edison keeps track of critical care customers and based on their assessment of customers affected by the outage on the 16th, zero have been identified. Councilmember Tran asked if she had received a letter from the Amberwood Condo Association which threatens lawsuits against Edison. Because of the threat of litigation, Ms. McLeod stated she could not meet with the Condo association or address their issues until she received clearance from her company's legal department. Councilmember Tran requested a copy of the email sent to Ms. McLeod from members of the Condo association. Ms. McLeod said she would ask her legal counsel if she can provide the email to him. Councilmember Imperial inquired about the interruption of service during the heat storm a few weeks ago. Ms. McLeod indicated the extreme heat made it very difficult to provide service to all customers, even though extra crews from Oregon were brought in. Edison identified problems and will try to avoid them in the future; their call center was overwhelmed. Ms. McLeod indicated that she is available by office and home phone numbers during emergencies. CC Minutes - August 8, 2006 Page 1 of 13 • • Councilmember Tran referenced a quote in the letter circulated by the Amberwood Condo Association. Ms. McLeod indicated she did not make that comment and recommended names and date/times of comments be provided to further address the issue. She further stated that Edison takes community and councilmember concerns seriously. Mayor Pro Tem Nunez requested a copy of the Edison letter sent out to residents. Holly Knapp, residing at 8367 E. Whitmore Street, spoke as a representative of the People for People organization to advertise their Annual Gold Tournament and extended an invitation to the council. Ms. Knapp also spoke about the signal at Hellman and the off-ramp at Walnut Grove which is backing up traffic on Walnut Grove. She recommended that "Keep Clear" signs be installed on Stout and Delta Streets. Mayor Pro-Tem suggested the City Engineer Ken Rukavina, address the issue with the Traffic Commission Meeting. Marlene Shinen, residing at 9447 Drayer Lane, South San Gabriel, spoke about semi-truck traffic on Delta and Rush. She felt that the City was not enforcing the mitigation measures and conditions of approval. Ms. Shinen asked why access from Rush Street was granted for construction purposes and she quoted Assistant City Manager Don Wagner as saying "If that's what he wanted to do." Ms. Shinen inquired who the liaison is between residents and Wal-Mart. Mayor Pro Tem Nunez indicated that the Assistant City Manager, Mr. Wagner is the correct person to call. She referenced a memo from April 25th for the record, that indicated a sidewalk would be installed. Ms. Shinen demanded three things for the residents and indicated the residents needed someone from City Hall to enforce the conditions of approval such as a: 1) Protection wall 2) Sidewalk issues 3) Underground utilities placement Councilmember Clark stated she was accused of being unresponsive to resident concerns and she reminded Ms. Shinen that her personal cell number was offered and she came out to speak to Ms. Shinen at the site when she called. Juan Nunez residing at 2702 Del Mar Avenue, spoke about the street vendor situation, which he believes is getting worse, even after contacting the Sherriff department. He submitted his time log of street vendor violations to the City Clerk. Mayor Pro Tern Nunez asked Lt. Wallace about the street vendor situation. Lt. Wallace outlined the steps taken by the Sherrifs to rectify the situation over the years. Property is taken to City Hall and vendors are allowed to pick up if they can provide a license. Citations were used in the past, but were not effective. Assistant City Manager Wagner mentioned that Code Enforcement Officer Wayne Kho has been instructed to call the Sherriff's department when he sees vending taking place on the street. CC Minutes - August 8, 2006 Page 2 of 13 • • Jim Flournoy, Rosemead resident, spoke about Wal-Mart conditions of approval and mitigation measures he felt were not being followed. He asserted that the City Building Official should enforce conditions on a daily basis; for the past six months the City has not kept a log. Note: Councilmember Tran stepped out of the chamber around 8:40 pm. Larry Bevington, Rosemead resident, also spoke about traffic and other issues regarding Wal- Mart construction and apparent violations of mitigation measures and conditions of approval. He expressed concern that violations will continue to take place even after the store is opened. He relayed an incident which occurred during when he was threatened with arrest for being on the street across from Wal-Mart. Note: Councilmember Tran returned to the Chamber at 8:43 pm. Mayor Pro Tern Nunez asked where his location was when he was threatened with arrest Mr. Bevington indicated he had not yet reached the curb when he was approached by Sheriff deputies. He wanted to take pictures of the construction site to document apparent violations. Councilmember Clark asked Assistant City Manager Wagner to clarify his statement referenced earlier by Ms. Shinen. Assistant City Manager Wagner explained that there are two sets of Wal-Mart construction regulations: 1) mitigation monitoring plan during the construction phase and the other is 2) conditions of approval which govern the operation of Wal-mart after construction, when they receive their certificate of Occupancy (which dictates that deliveries take place off of Walnut Grove). The mitigation monitoring plan specifies that during construction, Walnut Grove be used whenever possible. Mr. Wagner further explained that sometimes construction requirements led to the use of Delta and Rush St. to complete specific portions and that neighbors are given notice every Thursday through a postcard mailing. Mayor Pro Tem Nunez asked Mr. Wagner to explain the statement quoted by Ms. Shinen. Mr. Wagner stated that he had misspoken. He was quoted as saying: "Why wouldn't I do it, if that's what they want." What Mr. Wagner meant to say is if that's what they needed in order to complete the job, then why wouldn't I allow them to do it? How else are they going to put the vault in, except partially to use..." Mayor Pro Tem interjected that Mr. Wagner "misspoke - it is not what they wanted to do, it is what they needed to do to get the job done." Todd Kunioka, residing at 8400 Wells Street, spoke about the mitigation measures and conditions of Wal-Mart construction approval. He felt Wal-Mart was not being held accountable by the City and asked why: 1) A decorative sound wall had not been constructed within 60 days of grading, as specified in mitigation measures; CC Minutes - August 8, 2006 Page 3 of 13 • 2) Underground utilities had not been constructed as specified; 3) A construction wall had been moved to the street side of the curb and suggested this was done to prevent construction monitoring; and 4) At 5:30 pm (after construction activity is supposed to be completed by), a semi-tractor trailer was parked in the left turn lane of Rush Street, going Westbound. Councilmember Clark asked what happened to the trailer. Mr. Kunioka stated he wasn't sure. Councilmember Tran asked Mr. Wagner to address Mitigation Measure 4.5.1 regarding the wall referenced by Mr. Kunioka. Mr. Wagner asked Planning Director Brad Johnson to clarify; Mr. Johnson indicated that a sound wall will not be built on the property line and clarified that it was actually a screen wall that the site planner presented throughout the public hearings. He further indicated that one side of the building would serve as a wall; it was never the intent to install a block wall against the public sidewalk. Assistant City Manager Wagner indicated that landscaping will soften the impact between the store and the street. Mayor Pro Tem Nunez pointed out that the actual wording on the mitigation measure line calls for a wall with the wording "a 14 ft perimeter wall located on the Western property line shall be installed with the initial phase of construction....... Director of Planning Brad Johnson read the Mitigation measure and agreed that it was inconsistent with what staff worked on with the developer during the many months of design and what was actually presented in the site plan. Mayor Pro Tern Nunez asked if it was inconsistent with the measure, how the final site plans got approved. Director Johnson indicated that staff met many times with developers to devise the best design for the back of the building to create the least amount of impact and the best visual impact for that neighborhood. Mayor Pro Tern Nunez clarified that the condition states there will be a wall and then the wall was scrubbed and the back of the building was used. Director Johnson indicated that was always the intent (to use the back of the building) from the beginning. City Attorney Wallin clarified that the condition was not scrubbed - the condition was approved at the same time the design review was approved, which showed the wall as it is currently built. Mayor Pro Tern Nunez asked why the condition wasn't written clearer to reflect the actual site plan which utilizes the back of the building as a wall. CC Minutes -August 8, 2006 Page 4 of 13 • • Director Johnson stated that in retrospect, the condition could have been written differently. He added that other conditions could have also been written better. Mayor Pro Tern Nunez also asked then why the 30 ft. screen wall wasn't written into the mitigation measures. Director Johnson responded that the approval document approves the current site plan as described in the public hearings and as placed in the EIR document. Mayor Pro Tern Nunez asked if the 30 ft. landscape wall was built in lieu of the 14 ft wall. Director Johnson indicated that the wall was always an extension of the building as the site plans developed. Mayor Pro Tern Nunez again asked why it was not described in the mitigation measures as displayed in the site plan. Director Johnson reiterated that it could have been worded better. City Attorney Wallin stated that there is a condition in the mitigation measures which requires the project be built in accordance with the approved site plan. The approved site plan indicates the building will provide part of the wall and an extension of a sound wall on each side of the building and then the wall wraps to the east on each side. Mayor Pro Tern Nunez asked the City Attorney if approval should have been sought if changes were made to the original plan. City Attorney Wallin stated that the condition refers to the wall that was built. The requirement that they build the wall is a requirement that they build the wall in accordance with the site plan and that what was built. Mayor Pro Tern Nunez clarified that the condition mandated a sound proof wall at the edge of the property. City Attorney Wallin reiterated that the site plan and the conditions were approved at the same time and that the conditions were not changed. He then stated it was never determined to have a sound proof wall at the edge of the property. He stated that the condition stated the wall should be built in accordance with the approved site plan which shows the wall as built. Mayor Pro Tern Nunez asked why the condition of a sound wall was put into the plan. City Attorney Wallin responded that the sound wall was planned to isolate the residential community from the commercial activity. Mayor Pro Tern Nunez questioned why the sound wall back was moved 30 ft. from the edge of property. CC Minutes -August 8, 2006 Page 5 of 13 City Attorney Wallin stated that the wall was never moved; plans were presented with 30 ft. landscape buffer behind which would be a building wall and reiterated again that what has been built, is in accordance with the site plan. Brian Lewin, residing at 9442 Ralph Street, asked what the site plans indicate regarding where the utilities are supposed to be built - above ground or below ground? Assistant City Manager Wagner indicated that the site plans show utilities as below ground. He stated that the cabling is below ground, but that the majority of the transformer was built above ground, as per an Edison template. Mr. Wagner went on to say that very few transformers are put underground as this practice is not effective. Mr. Lewin then restated, that in accordance with the site plan, the transformer should have been built underground. Mr. Wagner explained that the site plan states that the power line will be underground, which it is. Mr. Lewin then inquired about the ownership of land between Temple City Blvd and Ellis Lane, as many signs have been posted on the property. Mr. Wagner indicated that the property is privately owned. Mr. Lewin requested a copy of the ownership verification. At the request of Councilmember Tran, Mayor Pro Tern Nunez called a 5 minute recess. After the recess, Councilmember Tran asked Ms. McLeod, from Edison, if residents could contact her directly if they have questions or concerns; Ms. McLeod indicated that she was the community liaison and that residents could contact her. Then, Councilmember Tran asked City Attorney Wallin to research an ordinance or policy which stipulates that a site plan supersedes a mitigation monitoring plan. He specifically asked if there was a precedent of this practice in Rosemead with other projects. Mr. Wallin agreed to conduct the research. 2. CONSENT CALENDAR: A.

Records Retention Policy In 1999, the California State Legislature added section 12236 to the California Government Code directing the Secretary of State to establish local government records programs containing guidelines related to municipal records retention efforts.

CC Minutes - August 8, 2006 Page 8 of 13 0 0 Councilmember Clark asked if the lighting issue had been addressed with the business owner. Assistant City Manager Wagner indicated that the matter had been addressed. Councilmember Clark made a motion to approve the Casa Latina Entertainment and Dance license with a second by Councilmember Imperial. Councilmember Tran asked why staff made the recommendation to approve the license. Mr. Wagner answered that the business: 1) met all of the conditions of approval put forth by the city and 2) had prior success with dance and entertainment permits. Arlene Coxx from the LA Sheriff Department indicated that 27 conditions of approval were stipulated and that in accordance with this permit, 51% of sales coming in would be from food sales meaning the establishment would not be a nightclub. Assistant City Manager Wagner clarified references to the restaurant on pages 2 and 3 of the Staff Report as the La Rumba Night Club was a mistake; that name was used by the previous owner. Councilmember Tran requested information regarding law enforcement activity that occurred during the current ownership. Lt. Wallace indicated that the establishment has been very quiet without law enforcement problems. Ms. Cox clarified that problems in the past that occurred were with the original owners who managed the establishment several years ago. Councilmember Tran indicated he was not comfortable approving the license and requested the item be deferred. Director of Planning Brad Johnson explained the history of the establishment and reasons for staff recommendation. Councilmember Imperial expressed concern about the lighting, the back gate and the 2nd floor of the building. Lt. Wallace interjected that the location has been free from law enforcement problems for the past 4 -5 years. Councilmember Clark added a condition of a 6 month review to her motion for approval. Councilmember Imperial suggested temporary approval is given with final approval in 6 months. Councilmember Tran asked how the 2nd story is being used. Director of Planning Brad Johnson explained that the business in question tonight is a single story building and that in the past, a previous owner had an annex across the street which was a two story building. CC Minutes - August 8, 2006 Page 9 of 13 0 Councilmember Tran recommended deferral until a review of the last 18 months of activity takes place. Mayor Pro Tern Nunez expressed concern over the kitchen size and also recommended deferral until further information is received. Director Johnson explained that ABC has put a freeze on their application to serve alcohol pending a decision on the license. Councilmember Clark made a motion to approve the license, with a six month review, with a second by Councilmember Imperial. Vote resulted: Yes: Clark, Imperial None: Nunez, Tran Abstain: None Absent: Taylor E. Award of Street Sweeping Contract The City's contract with CleanStreet to provide street sweeping services expired June 30, 2006. Bid proposals have been received from four street sweeping providers. Staff has reviewed the bid proposals. Recommendation: That the City Council award the street sweeping contract to CleanStreet and authorize the Mayor to sign the contract on behalf of the City. Councilmember Clark made a motion to approve the Street Sweeping Contract. The motion died for a lack of a second approver. Award of Annual Street Tree Contract Our current Street Tree Contractor, Evan's Tree Service, went out of business at the end of July 2006. Staff prepared bid specifications and the Notice Inviting Bids was published. In total, three bids were received on July 17, 2006. During the interim, between Evan's Tree Service and the new contractor starting, we have made arrangements for Mariposa Horticultural, Inc. to handle tree requests. Recommendation: That the City Council award the street tree contract to Great Scott Tree Service, Inc. Councilmember Clark made a motion to approve the Street Tree Contract with a second by Councilmember Imperial. Councilmember Tran expressed concern and asked why such a big gap in bids occurred between Mariposa and Great Scott. Director of Parks and Recreation Michael Burbank surmised that Great Scott perhaps better scrutinized city trees and pointed out that their unit prices are very similar to Evan's Tree Service; in speaking with the owner of Mariposa, Mr. Burbank stated that Mariposa's CC Minutes -August 8, 2006 Page 10 of 13 • • proposal was not as well researched as it could have been. Councilmember Tran requested the item be deferred and that a new request for proposals be initiated. Councilmember Clark did not feel this would be fair to current bidders. Great Scott owner, Scott Dewitt was in the audience and addressed the City Council. He explained that contract is only for one year after which, the council can search for new contractors if not satisfied with service from Great Scott. He further added that his company had spent two to three days in the City to research their proposal and stated he felt very comfortable with the price given. Mayor Pro Tern Nunez asked the council to vote on the motion made earlier by Councilmember Clark, with a second by Councilmember Imperial to award the contract to Great Scott Tree Service. Voted resulted: Yes: Clark, Imperial, Nunez No: Tran Abstain: None Absent: Taylor 3. MATTERS FROM MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL A. Request from Mayor Pro Tem Nunez to discuss Amicus Brief filed by the Attorney General in SOC v. Rosemead Mayor Pro Tern Nunez requested City Attorney Wallin explain how the brief affects litigation with SOC and with the Garvey School district. Mr. Wallin explained that the SOC litigation vs. the City of Rosemead is in the Court of Appeals. That litigation challenged the approval of the Environmental Impact Report in which SOC was partially successful and the City was required to recertify the EIR. SOC was not totally successful and they did appeal; the matter is currently before the Appellate Court. The Attorney General has stepped in and filed a report stating that further work should have been done on air quality. The brief has no effect on the Garvey School district case. The Amicus Brief was submitted for consideration by the appellate court. Mayor Pro Tern Nunez asked about Mr. Wallin's rebuttal which referenced 500 additional jobs created, even though the brief addressed air quality. Mayor Pro Tem Nunez pointed out that recruitment will take place based on qualifications, rather than Rosemead resident status. Councilmember Imperial agreed that the most qualified applicants will be hired. Mayor Pro Tern Nunez challenged the following statement made by Mr. Wallin: "Rosemead has a very high unemployment rate. Five hundred new jobs will be filled by existing residents". Mr. Wallin responded that he did not specify which city new employees will reside in. CC Minutes - August 8, 2006 Page 11 of 13 • • Councilmember Tran also expressed concern about the language used by Mr. Wallin and asked Mr. Wallin if he consulted anyone prior to filing the response to the brief. Mr. Wallin responded that he distributed the brief to the council along with indication that he had 10 days to respond. Mr. Wallin stated that he did not receive any response from the council so he took it upon himself to respond within the timeframe as requested by the Attorney General. Councilmember Tran clarified that Wal-Mart, (as a Condition of Approval), has to pay Mr. Wallin for any litigation that comes up pertaining to Wal-Mart. Mr. Wallin indicated that Wal-Mart pays the City, who then reimburses him. In addition, Mr. Wallin reminded Councilmember Tran that even if he filed a brief opposing it, Wal-Mart would still have to pay the cost. Furthermore, he added that the Council approved the project and that his instructions are to represent the City, defending the decisions that were made. Councilmember Tran questioned Mr. Wallin's argument in his written response that suggested the Attorney General got involved due to political reasons, rather than a land use decision. Mr. Wallin outlined his reasons for the statement and pointed out that more substantial projects have been approved and the Attorney General has not intervened. Councilmember Tran asked Mr. Wallin, how he could make such a statement as a representative of the City. In addition, Councilmember Tran referenced mention of the AQMD in the Attorney General's brief and asked Mr. Wallin if the Attorney General was incorrect in his assessment. Mr. Wallin indicated the Attorney General was incorrect, as all conditions requested by the AQMD were imposed by the City. Councilmember Tran then went on to ask Mr. Wallin's response to the Attorney General's concerns about the EIR and recommendation that the EIR be rescinded and re-circulated. Mr. Wallin responded that the Attorney General was wrong in his findings. Councilmember Tran then asked City Attorney Wallin for the record, if in his brief, he was representing Wal-Mart. Mr. Wallin stated for the record, that he was representing the City, which has instructed him to defend the decision that was made in this case. Councilmember Tran then interjected: "Which is then reimbursed by Wal-Mart." Mr. Wallin responded: "Do you think that is stupid? Think we ought to pay our own expenses? Councilmember Tran: "I never mentioned that you were stupid". Councilmember Imperial interjected that Councilmember Tran was making accusations that were not accurate and defended Mr. Wallin. CC Minutes - August 8, 2006 Page 12 of 13 0 0 Councilmembers Imperial and Tran and Mayor Pro Tern Nunez all discussed the fact each of them had a right to express their respective opinions. Mayor Pro Tern Nunez indicated he received the brief but not a cover letter alerting Councilmembers that action was required within 10 days. Mr. Wallin indicated that he sent an email along with the brief as an attachment. Mayor Pro Tern Nunez said he had not received the cover email and assumed the response would be discussed at a council meeting; he was not aware of the timeline. He asked Councilmember Clark how she had found out about the filing. Councilmember Clark stated that she knew that the Attorney General had filed a while ago because it was in the newspaper. 4. MATTERS FROM CITY MANAGER AND STAFF - None Councilmember Tran made a motion to adjourn the meeting at 10:35 pm. The next regular meeting is scheduled for August 22, 2006 at 8:00 pm.
