coined the City Council and staff from West Covina
to the first joint meeting of the two cities. He
then commenced a discussion on potential areas of
cooperation with City Manager Fast of West Covina
outlining joint efforts and programs that West
Covina currently participates in with other agencies
and City Manager Webb concentrating on joint efforts
and programs that Baldwin_Park is active in. It

Development, Mr. Hemer, briefly outlined the
Baldwin Park Puente/Merced Redevelopment Project
(Stan Marr motel site) that overlaps the City of
West Covina's boundary by two acres. The 17 acre,
10 story, hotel/retail complex is scheduled to begin
•
development in the'near future. However, the portion
in West Covina lies within West Covina freeway
corridor study/moratorium.
The Baldwin Park City Council emphasized the
benefits to both cities from the development of the
•
property. The comments were appreciated by the West
Covina City Councils however, they were unable to
comment as a public hearing on Baldwin Park's request
to withdraw the property from the moratorium was
slated before the West Covina City Council for
January 27, 1986. The Baldwin Park City Council
was encouraged to attend.
