1. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE AUDIENCE
Juan Nunez, 2702 Del Mar, Rosemead, stated that the trucks are still loading and
unloading in the streets at the Auto Auction. Mr. Nunez referring to the Auction's C.U.P. stated
that the Auto Auction is to provide areas inside the property for the trucks to load and unload.
Mr. Nunez stated that on April 7"i, a hydraulic line broke from a truck on Garvey Avenue near
Falling Leaf and the oil was flowing towards the trailer park and catch basin, he notified the Fire
Department and they-stopped the flow by throwing dirt on it from the empty lot. Mr. Nunez
suggested that the Auction should have some means of dealing with these-types of accidents,
such as keeping sand on hand. Mr. Nunez stated that street vendors are selling products in his
area from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m., and asked if the Sheriff's are patrolling or doing any enforcement.
Councilman Bruesch explained that this is a reoccurring problem and in the past the
trucks have been ticketed and the problem goes:away, temporarily. One problem is that the
trucks are owner-operated and not part of the Auto Auction, and that the company will just
continue to pay the tickets.
Councilman Taylor requested a copy of the Auto Auction C.U.P
H. PUBLIC HEARINGS
