10-04-1971 - Regular Meeting - MinutesMINUTES OF THE ADJOURNED REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL - CITY OF WEST COVINA, CALIFORNIA OCTOBER 4, 1971. The adjourned regular meeting of the City Council called to oxder at 7:31 P.M., by Mayor Ken Chappell in the West Covina Council Chambers. The Pledge of Allegiance was redited. The invocation was given by Mr. Herman R. Fast. ROLL CALL Present: Mayor Chappell; Councilmen Shearer, Nichols, Young, Lloyd Others Present: George Aiassa, City Manager George Wakefield, City Attorney Lela Preston, City Clerk H. R. Fast, Assistant City Manager George Zimmerman, City Engineer Richard Munsell, Planning Director Bert Yamasaki, Ass't. Planning Director William Fowler, Director of Building & Safety Leonard Eliot, Controller Ross Nammar, Administrative Assistant PRESENTATION OF AWARD TO JOHN OVERHOLT Mayor Chappell: The City Council is presenting a Resolution of Appreciation to.John Overholt, a long-time member of our Human Relations Commission. It is citizens like John that really help make West Covina an outstanding community. They take time off from their busy schedules of work and give untold hours to the City. In fact it amounts to weeks and months when you add it up over a period of years. So the City Council, upon Mr. Overholt indicating he could no longer serve as a member of the Commission due to business problems, wanted to show their appreciation for his efforts on behalf of the City. (Read Resolution No. 4419 and presented to Mr. Overholt.) Mr. Overholt: It was a privilege serving on the Commission and this is indeed an honor. Thank you. EXECUTIVE SESSION Mayor Chappell: If there are no objections from my fellow members the City, Council will move into an Executive Session at this time to make the final appointments for our Youth Advisory Commission. CITY COUNCIL RECESSED.- :TO AN. EXECUTIVE SESSION* AT 7:35 P.M. COUNCIL RECONVENED AT 7:58 P.M. YOUTH ADVISORY Mayor Chappell: At this -time it is my COMMISSION privilege on behalf of the City Council and the City to announce the names of those applicants appointed from our City to serve on the first Youth Advisory Commission, that Council • recently formed. We are not picking them in the.order of preference but picking the first five on the list of thirteen possible appointees: Susan Woodward, Keith Weber, Kenneth Stokes, Sheree Wilson and Martha Lewis. All are to be congratulated. In making these appointments we are not taking away anything from the other candidates, there wasn't one on our selection list that couldn't handle the job and in an outstanding manner. The alternates we have numbered as follows: 1 - Dallas Knutsen; 2 - Richard Ames; and 3 - Lisa -Lacey. We certainly congratulate all of these young students, and I will be - writing each a letter and they will be appearing before the City Council at the next meeting to be sworn in and accept their responsibilities. - 1 - C.C. Adj. Reg. Meeting 10/4/71 Youth..Advisory. Comm-issi.on.-..cont'd Page Two Councilman Lloyd: Mr. Mayor, I think it is important to note and I think you should be the one to do it, that in the decision process we felt that we should have had more people from the different schools. Mayor Chappell: Yes, there was one item of interest to the Council. We have a number of schools where the applicants came from in our community: South Hills High, West Covina High, Edgewood High, Bishop Amat High, Nogales High, Hollencrest Intermediate School, Sunset Continuation School and the Tri-Community Adult School. The only limitation on this was age and not from location within the City. We hope the next time around to get far more representation from the other schools than we received this time, because they didn't all participate in the manner we thought they might. We feel once this Commission starts performing and doing things that we will get many more applications. I do want to congratulate Seth Rhiner and his Committee for their outstanding job. They worked over a period of a year on this in setting up the qualifications, screening the applications and presenting the Selection List. We hope we can call on them next year for screening the applications because it is a burden that no small group can handle along with other responsibilities. CONSENT CALENDAR (Mayor Chappell stated 'the procedure of the Consent Calendar and asked if any member of the City Council had any item of discussion.) Councilman Young: Item 5 (b) Tentative Tract No. 23308 - Bauer Developments Company. The question I have is that somehow it indicates an increase in density of residential development as opposed to the original agreement when this property was annexed to the City, and I question the advisability, if I am correct.. If. I am incorrect, I would appreciate clarification of increased density at this location at this time in light of other zoning that exists throughout the City at this time. My basic question is,are we reducing our community standards here with this tract? Mr. Munsell: Mr. Mayor and members of Council, the Planned Residential Development under this tract has no influence at all on the density. The multiple family zone MF-15, which this is, cannot get a density bonus under the PRD Overlay. This particular development is about 14.5 dwellings per acre:which is less than the normal MF-15 would allow. The main advantage of the Overlay zone is that it allows a certain amount of flexibility in the type of development. I have a slide or two if you are interested in seeing it. It is a development which has peripheral streets and short cul-de-sacs with a privately owned 31-2 acre park in the middle of the 36 acre development. Mayor Chappell: Did you want to see the slidesjCouncilman Young? Councilman Young: No, I wanted to just toss the ball out and see what the response is. I think Council • should be satisfied that we are maintaining rather than reducing any kind of quality as density relates to quality, Mr. Munsell: The zone at time of annexation was the R-2, now called MF-15, allowing 15 dwellings per acre. This development falls well within that. Staff and the Planning Commission felt this development plan was consistent with the expression of the concern.'that the Council and the Commission gave to the Donald L. Bren Company on its cluster development and we are satisfied with the quality of the development. - 2 - CITY COUNCIL ADJ. REG. MEETING 10-4-71 CONSENT CALENDAR: Tentative Tract No. 23308 Page Three Councilman Young: You are satisfied in terms of the later dis- cussion with the performance of the Bren Company with respect to the usable open space being provided? (Mr. Munsell answered • "Yes"). . Councilman Shearer: This I believe was one of the areas we dis- cussed at a joint meeting of the Council and the Planning Commission. At that time it was more or less a:. unanimous opinion that the original proposal'of this tract was nothing more or less than a number of substandard lots. At that time the number of units was 445 versus as a result of our comments and redesign, are now 383. Is that correct, Mr. Munsell? (Answered: "Yes".) So like the tract before us for approval, it is of lower density than originally proposed, and for that I would compliment the staff for running up the flag and bringing it to our attention. Councilman Young: In doing some quick mathematics here I agree with Councilman Shearer's statement. Mayor Chappell: If Council has no further items to discuss on the Consent CalendarrI will now ask if anyone in the audience would like to step forward and discuss any item of the Consent Calendar? Alexander Pacifico Item 4 - Administrative Items, (d) referring 3327 Quinnel Drive specifically to Item No. 8 of the Traffic West Covina Committee minutes. There are three members in the audience that propose to discuss this, I being the last. The first two are Mrs. Mead, and Mrs. Squires. Councilman Nichols: Mr. Mayor, a point of order. We have only in recent months come to the matter of the use of a Consent Calendar. It is relatively new to all of us and I don't believe Council has discussed or staff has recommended a basis for handling items which are-of:.ptiblic cdn- cern. Normally the traditional function of the Council has been to establish public hearings on items of concern to the public, or allow the public to make comments that they desire to make to the Council on any subject during the period of Oral Communications. There is some concern in my mind about the procedure which would halt the Consent Calendar at anytime anyone in the audience would desire to express a concern or present a point of view on a recommendation within the Consent Calendar. On the other hand obviously it would be improper for the Council to ram through items on.the Consent Calendar, so it seems therefore to me as a matter of policy and not particularly pertinent to the matter this evening, that the Council would be advised to come up with an appropriate method for handling the Consent Calendar items, whereby those items are not being adopted on the basis of a:. unanimity of viewpoint either on the Council or the audience. I think the approach properly would be where there is a contested item:- that item be pulled from the agenda and rescheduled in a fashion where all can present their viewpoints, both staff and the proponents in a proper fashion. Elsewise we will place ourselves in a position of creating a debate and a public hearing on each and every Consent Calendar item that comes before us, whereas in reality the basis for the use of the Consent Calendar was to expedite the Council's business. Mayor Chappell: Any other thoughts along this line? I think then for tonight we will continue as we have and make changes at our next meeting. - 3 - CITY COUNCIL ADJ. REG. MEETING 10-4-71 Page Four CONSENT CALENDAR: Traffic. Committee Minutes Item 8 Mrs. Pat Mead(:- We would like to bring this to your attention 3833 Nea.rpoint.`.:Dr. tonight, the stop sign at Sentous and West Covina Hollingworth. We have three schools in that area: Hollingworth, Rincon and Nogales. We • have had a death in late May, a boy on a bike on Sentous, which we feel if there had been a stop sign there )it could have been avoided. We now have 6th, 7th and 8th grade children going to Rincon School, which means these children are still quite young to be crossing this street. The kids use the street as a drag street because it is straight through . There is no stop for almost a mile. We feel if there was a stop sign it would halt this and it would give our children a chance to cross over because we now have a tract of homes built and we have kindergarten through 5th grade crossing the other way to go to Hollingworth Elementary School. We had thought of a crossing guard but we voided this because we have so much recreation for our children here and we don't want to stop them from using these facilities such as)the pool at Nogales during the summer time and we don't want to stop the use of the ballet, tap and.instrumental at Rincon. We would like to continue this but the traffic has become more and we would like to bring this to your attention that we would like to have the stop sign put there. Thank you. Mrs. Glenn Squires I am the Chairman of 'the Safety Committee for 3221 Goodwick Drive the Junior.'Womed,8 Club.,of West Covina. West Covina Recently we did a Hazard Hunt and this was one of the intersections we felt was badly in need of a 4-way stop sign. Since this is a main thoroughfare for the children of Galaxie Tract and Sunshine Homes going to and from Hollingworth, Rincon and Nogales Schools, we., as a group, would like to see a 4-way stop installed there. Thank you. Mr. Pacifico: Gentlemen, I have read the statistics on the report and while we don't need the sta- tistics and I don't know whose these are, but it is pretty difficult to equate statistics with the life of a child. There are children going back and forth across there every day and the cost of a stop sign �I believe.is insignificant. The coordination that may be necessary with the County may not be insignificant but I believe it is warranted and imperative. We are parents and we have children and we want them to live. It seems to me regardless of the cost, regardless of the statistics, regardless of the feeling of some people, a stop sign there if it will prevent just one accident, it is well worth all the effort put into it. And I charge you to consider this when you make your final decision on this item. Thank you. Mayor Chappell: For the benefit of the audience the recommendation of the Traffic Committee is that this item be held over for further study pending the completion of the County's investigation. This is part County and part West Covina and it has to be a coordinated effort between the two before these signals can be installed. So the Council is accepting the recommendation that it be held over, if we vote on it tonight, and it will be taken up at a later date when we receive all the information from the County and the staff reevaluation. • Councilman Young: Mr. Mayor, two points. It is noted here that we expect to hear from the County tomorrow. Could we reasonably anticipate this on our next agenda? Mr. Aiassa: Our next agenda will be on the 12th of October and we will attempt to get it on. Councilman Young: Another question, Mr. Mayor. I had intended to ask the question previously but didn't have it in the right place. This is regarding the removal of the 4-way 4 - n U CITY COUNCIL ADJ. REG. MEETING 10-4-71 CONSENT CALENDAR: Traffic Com. Minutes - Item 8 Page Five stop sign at Valinda and Service. Valinda is a busy street at that location, Service not so busy. The accident rate there is excellent and I wonder if we might not leave the stop sign 4-way and preserve the lower accident statistic that presently exists. Traffic would tend to speed up, I think,between the stop lights at Cameron and coming on around, the next stop would be Glendora which is a very substantial distance and basically a residential area through there. I would like to have further consideration of that particular item. I use that street a great deal. That would be Item 1 (b). Councilman Shearer: I was prepared to pull back my objection to this as I was the one that raised the question several months ago. However, in view of the testimony of the three citizens we heard this evening, I think we should at least temporarily withdraw final action on this, because actually we are doing just the opposite here. We are creating a two-way stop out of a four-way, which has perhaps greater potential speed and potential accident location, than the location at Sentous and Hollingworth, and at the same time we are being asked to add stop signs somewhere else. I would like to see this withdrawn also until we reach an agreement on the other location. I would hate to solve one and create another. It doesn't bother me to stop as I come up Valinda at that location and as the gentleman saidlit may save a life even though it is contrary to traffic manual books that say a 4-way is not warranted here. Motion by Councilman Young, seconded.by Councilman Lloyd and carried, to remove from the Consent Calendar Item 1 (b) of the Traffic Committee minutes. Mayor Chappell: We have a recommendation to take action on the Consent Calendar Items 1 through 7 with the exception of the withdrawal of Item 1 (b) of the Traffic Committee minutes regarding Service and Valinda. Councilman Lloyd: I move approval with the exception as noted. Seconded by Councilman Young, and carried on roll call vote as follows: AYES: Councilme.n Shearer, Nichols, Young. :'.Lloyd, 'Chappell, NOES: None :.

MEETING 10-4-71 Page Seven GENERAL AGENDA ITEMS AWARD OF BIDS BID NO. 72-03 Bids received in the Office of the Purchas- FIRE APPARATUS ing Agent up to 10:00 A.M., Wednesday August 25, 1971, and thereafter publicly • opened and read. Held over from September 13, 1971. BID NO. 72-10 Bids received in the Office of the Purchasing PORTABLE FREQUENCY Agent up to 10:00 A.M. Wednesday, September 22, METER -SIGNAL 1971, and thereafter publicly opened and read. GENERATOR MODULA- TION METER Mr. Aiassa: Mr Mayor, I would like to make a recommendation that we hold these two items to our next meeting on October 12th. Councilman Lloyd: Mr. Mayor, can we ask why? Mr. Aiassa: On Bid No. 72-03 we have a couple of technical points I would like to review with the City Attorney and we have one bidder protesting and this I would like to discuss with the City Attorney. On Item 72-10 this is one we are working with the County and I would like to review some of the detail work with the County through the City Attorney. Motion by Councilman Lloyd, seconded by Councilman Young, that Bid No. 72-03 and 72-10 be returned to staff and brought back to the Council. Councilman Young: I take it there is no problem with regard to a time limit on opening the bids, etc. Mr. Wakefield: No sir, we are within the limits established. City Attorney The bids have been opened and it is simply a question of resolving the technical problems that exist. Councilman Shearer: I assume that our bids do contain some type of time limit? Mr. Wakefield: Our bid specification generally does not fix a City Attorney time within which the City will accept or reject the bids. We follow the rule that we are bound to act within a reasonable time and generally speaking a reasonable time is 30 days and because the meetings of the City Council come only twice a month.it is not always possible to fit the receipt of the bids and the bid analysis and the report back to City Council within the 30 day period, but normally that is done. Councilman Young: Mr. Mayor, could I request when this comes back before the Council, how much if anything we have budgeted for this outlay - could that be explained? Mr. Aiassa: Yes we will give you a breakdown at the next meeting. Motion carried. PERSONNEL BOARD EMERGENCY EMPLOYMENT ACT Mr. Aiassa: This is a recommondation OF 1971 from the Personnel Board to the City Council, recommending that Council authorize the staff to implement the guide- lines established by the U. S. Civil Service Commission for the - 7 - 0 r: CITY COUNCIL ADJ, REG. MEETING 10-4-71 Page Eight PERSONNEL BOARD: Emergency Employment Act of 1971 recruitment, testing, and certification of potential candidates under this Act. As Council is aware, we are applying for Federal partici-. pation under this Act to hire certain employees we need in our City, to fill vacancies in the Departments that can use the added staff. This is being done under the Emergency Employment Act which has been highly recommended for use by the President. Our application has been accepted and approved and we are now following the legal pro- cedures. Councilman Young: What will .the City's participation be in this program? Mr. Aiassa: The City's participation in dollars and cents, the total cost will be borne by the grant. We have a formal application and 10% is required to be provided by the City which can be in supervision and training services. We will actually train these people. Councilman Lloyd: How many people will be involved? Mr. Fast: 21 or 22. Councilman Lloyd: That is a lot of man hours to be getting for free and I am willing to bet that Mr. Aiassa has worked it out to where we are getting something for free. The only thing we must be cautious of is the creation of the use of these people and create a demand by staff or a reliance by the staff. I know this will be taken into consideration. Mr. Aiassa: We have made it quite clear to all Department Heads that will receive the supplemental help under this program that it is being supplied to us and when it ends from there onethat's it. Councilman Young: If a recommendation is in order, I would like to see us get a meter maid under a different title than "meter" to check our overtime parking.. Motion by Councilman Lloyd, seconded by Councilman Shearer and carried, to authorize staff to implement the guidelines established by the U.S. Civil Service Commission for the recruitment, testing, and certification of potential candidates under this Act. RECREATION COORDINATOR Mr. Aiassa: This is a classification CLASS SPECIFICATIONS title change and there is no salary change involved. This was recommended by our Consultants. Motion by Councilman Young, seconded by Councilman Lloyd, to adopt the attached class specification for Recreation Coordinator. Councilman Lloyd: Mr. Fast: SPECIAL SERVICES AND ABATEMENT OFFICER CLASS SPECIFICATION When this individual is implemented in this job.,will his next step be higher than what it would have been had we not created this? Mr. Mayor and City Council members, the salary structure is exactly identical, and the job tasks being performed are the same. Motion carried. Mr. Aiassa: This item is one we have been experimenting with for about 3% years. we are now at the point - 8 - CITY COUNCIL ADJ. REG. MEETING 10-4-71 Page Nine PERSONNEL BOARD: SPEC. SERV. & ABATEMENT OFFICER - Class Specification where we are getting more demands and needs to administrate this. There are two positions now being filled: gun. S"ta.nford and Dick Bonaparte. This also ties in with weed abatement, sign abate- ment and all other abatements. This position will have to be met by examination and full qualification in lines with our Civil Service hiring rules. Council will be notified when this position is filled. Councilman Young: There is no intention to fill it now? Mr. Aiassa: Not within the next 30 to 60 days. Councilman Young: Is that because of existing personnel? Mr. Aiassa: There are two categories and I would like to do a little more analysis of the job and the responsibilities of the Bureau and the actual assignments of the Bureau. Councilman Young: The reason I ask I don't see any point in creating a pressure point here. Mr. Aiassa: We have one man now working but of. -classifica- tion. He is actually a Public Works Inspector and we have transferred him to Weed Abatement and other types of abatement and eventually we have to provide the classification that will cover the job he is now performing. The question in my mind is that I want to be sure of the job total before I fill the position, but I need the position just as we needed the position of criminalist for the lab. We have to establish qualifica- tions, minimum standards and salary. Mayor Chappell: It is important that we keep these classifi- cations up to date and current, because we never know when we have to fill and if it is written down there is no chance of changing to gear to a particular person. Mr. Aiassa: We did not gear this job description to any employee now on staff. The qualifications are on the job to be filled and the work to be done, and the employee will have to meet the requirements and pass the test. Motion by Councilman Lloyd, seconded by Councilman Shearer and carried, tb.addpt the class specification for Special Services and Abatement Officer. CITY ATTORNEY C. A. PIERSON REQUEST Mr. Wakefield: This is a request for a FOR MAIL ORDER BUSINESS mail order business LICENSE license received by the City Clerk from a Mr. C. A. Pierson. He proposes to use his home address as a mail . address for the purpose of receiving orders for the purchase of used books. The matter was of some concern to the staff and it has been investigated by the License Inspector and it has also been investigated by the Police Department. Apparently the license and the application is in order. Mr. Pierson has been engaged in this sort of business for a number of years without any prior problems with respect to the material he offers for sale. It is my recommendation that the license be issued. Councilman Shearer: Mr. Mayor, a question. Can the license be revoked by Council if it is found to be an unsatisfactory operation? - 9 - • • CITY COUNCIL ADJ. REG. MEETING 10-4-71 CITY ATTORNEY: Mail Order License Request Page Ten Mr. Wakefield: Yes sir. Motion by Councilman Shearer and seconded by Councilman Nichols, to approve the issuing of a mail order business license to Mr. C. A. Pierson. Councilman Lloyd: I am always concerned over this type of application from the point of view while this may be a reasonable issuance at this time I fear the situation of pornography in the handling of literature of this type. First of all �I.really don't understand fully, and I am not asking for an explanation right now, what we can do to prevent these things, actually it is in the hands of the courts. I am not sure if we allow this for one man that we then don't open the door. I am not sure we have the right to turn him down because it is a valid reasonable request, but on the other hand these things have almost historic tradition of turning into this type of thing. So I am not bringing up something that hasn't happened. We can discuss the situation, which indeed happened in West Covina, and yet whatever assurances can they give - I don't know. Mr. Wakefield, do you have a comment? Mr. Wakefield: Yes, Councilman Lloyd. It was approximately a year and a half ago when our Business License Ordinance was amended to place applications for a business license for mail order businesses in the restricted category. Since that time every application that has gone in has been investigated and a report made to the City Council and the City Council then in turn authorizes the issuance of the license. Mail Order Business Licenses are relatively common within the City. We must have had 8 or 10 applications for Business Licenses of one sort or another involving a mail order use of residential property this year. This particular application was specially investigated because of the nature of the business the individual proposed to carry on. Under our existing ordinance the City Council would have the power to set the matter for a public hearing to require the applicant to produce for the Council the kinds of publications he proposes to sell. There are a number of controls built in to our existing ordinance. However, the investigation made in this case lead us to believe there really was no necessity for that complicated type of procedure. The application was in order and the applicant is a person of good character and has been engaged.in this type of business before. Apparently he purchases books at State auctions and sells them privately. Councilman Lloyd: I have no further questions, Mr. Mayor. Councilman Young: This license is renewed on an annual basis? Mr. Wakefield: Yes sir. Councilman Young: Is it within the discretion of the City Council to withhold renewing the license if we find a situation developing that is unhealthy? Mr. Wakefield: Oh yes. We need not renew it because the man had a prior license. Councilman Young: So in the event of pornography or some question is brought before us we could reject the issuance of a license. Mr. Wakefield: That is correct. This license would be issued for the balance of this calendar year. Motion carried. - 10 - CITY COUNCIL CITY ATTORNEY ADJ. REG. MEETING - Cont'd. 10-4-71 Page Eleven BURKE, WILLIAMS & Mr. Wakefield: This refers to the City SORENSEN STATEMENT of West Covina versus ..... ........ ..... Guarantee Savings & Loan Association of Whittier and apparently this item, which is our statement for a portion of the legal fees involved in preparing the • complaint and obtaining the order of immediate possession and the action brought to condemn the actual property of the Guarantee Savings and Loan Association for the California off -ramp was in the total amount of $433.00. The reason the invoice was submitted at this time was because I felt the probability was we would be able to settle the case and there would be no further costs to the City incurred. If there are further proceedings necessary and the matter has to go to trial then the additional fees will be billed to the City. On the other hand this represents the bill for the services performed to date. Councilman Young, apparently raised some question about the $13.00 fee which was involved. The City is exempt from the payment of filing fees in both the Superior and Municipal Court; however, in the Superior Court the City and all other public agencies, are required to pay a fee designated as a "Reporter's Fee", and it goes into a special fund for court reporters and that fee is in the same amount in the Municipal Court as in the Superior Court. Councilman Young: I learned something brand new just now and I will ask you a personal question a little later. Motion by Councilman Lloyd,.'.seconded by Councilman Young, to approve payment of Burke, Williams & Sorensen statement in the amount of $433.00 and authorize payment of same. Motion carried on roll call vote as follows: AYES: Councilmen Shearer, Nichols, Young, Lloyd, Chappell NOES: None ABSENT: None FIRE STATION NO. 6 Mr. Wakefield: Pursuant to the direction of the City Council, escrow has been opened for the purchase by the City of Fire Station No. 6 property at Azusa Avenue and Maplegrove Street. In order to complete the escrow proceedings,it is necessary for the City Council to accept the Deed and deposit the certificate of the City Council and the appropriate resolution with the escrow, so the recording can be made at the time the escrow closes. I have prepared a resolution. RESOLUTION NO. 4454 The City Attorney presented: ADOPTED "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WEST COVINA ACCEPTING GRANT DEED EXECUTED BY DONALD L. BREN COMPANY AND DIRECTING THE RECORDATION THEREOF." Mayor Chappell: Hearing no objections/waive further reading of the body of said Resolution. Motion by Councilman Shearer, seconded by Councilman Lloyd, to adopt said Resolution. • Councilman Shearer: To refresh my memory what did we actually pay for it? Mr. Aiassa: $35,000/ and we also received some. physical improvements.

MEETING 10-4-71 Page Twelve CITY ATTORNEY - Cont'd. PRIVATE PATROLS Mr. Wakefield: Recently the City Clerk has received three or four applications for business licenses for the operation of private patrols in the City. This has become a matter of serious concern to the Police Chief. A week or so ago he asked that I draft regulations..!. which would end up in an ordinance covering private patrols in the City. I have prepared such an ordinance and I submitted copies of it to the Chief of Police last week. Mr. Brammer, who is one of the licensees and operator of a private patrol within the City has raised some questions about the draft of the Ordinance and there has not been an opportunity to review his comment or suggestions with the Police Chief and the staff of the City. It would be my recommendation that this matter be continued to your next regular meeting which will give us a chance to iron out whatever problems may be inherent in the draft which I prepared. So moved by Councilman Lloyd, seconded by Councilman Young. Councilman Young:: A question. I note the three applications and what I am curious about, and: I know Mr. Perry is in the audience this evening - he is renting a space in the building where my office is - what is the discretion of the City right now to withhold the granting of a business license for this type of activity? It would seem generally our licensing ordinances are not regulatory as a rule. Right? Mr. Wakefield: No, the State Law specifically authorizes the City to license both for regulation and for revenue. It happens thatr"primarily our business licenses are of a revenue -producing statute, however) it does have some regulatory aspects in many fields. Councilman Young: system? Mr. Wakefield: Do we now have the authority in the West Covina Municipal Code to withhold the granting of a license for someone who desires a security private patrol issued.by license fee�and he would license. No sir, the present provision of our Code would require the applicant to demonstrate that he possesses a license to operate a the State of California and pay his be entitled to the issuance of a business Councilman Young: I presume Mr. Brammer, who is also here, already has a business license and in the event an ordinance like this is passed would that be retroactive? Would it apply to.existing licensed security patrol.. systems in the City? Mr. Wakefield: The proposed Ordinance is drafted.strictly as a regulatory Ordinance. The draft provides that no person or company shall be issued a patrol -system license until they have applied for and received a special permit from the Chief of Police. When that permit is issued then they would be entitled to the issuance of.a business license and the draft also provides that it applies not only to persons already licensed but to those who are licensed in the future. This was one of the points which was included as a result of my discussion with the Chief of Police, so we would have a uniform system of regulation that applied to everyone in the business. Councilman Young: And we wouldn't run into some kind of constitutional problem or pre-emption problem? Mr. Wakefield: There are some pre-emption problems in this - 12 - CITY COUNCIL ADJ. REG. MEETING 10-4-71 CITY ATTORNEY: Private Patrols Page Thirteen area, although the State Law.itself)specifically authorizes a City to regulate certain aspects of the patrol business and we have tried to tailor the regulations to fit within the limits the State has speci- fically conferred upon cities. However, one of the points Mr. Brammer raises with reference to the draft is that the State requires a bond to be filed by applicants for State Permitspand I have included a paragraph in our regulatory Ordinance which would also require a bond and Mr. Brammer raises the question as to whether or not the State might have pre-empted the field as far as the bond requirement. This is a matter I want to look into. Councilman Young: This is a very pointed question, I know. In withholding a license at this particular time from any applicant otherwise licensed by the Statelthe City is actually exceeding its powers or its legal authority? Is that true? Mr. Wakefield: So far as Mr. Pe.rry's application is concerned, under the state of our existing Ordinance he would be entitled to the issuance of a business license. However, because of the questions which have been raised in connection with his application, also the fact that the other applicant has not been able yet to demonstrate that he holds the appropriate license from the State, neither Mr. Perry nor the other applicant have been acted upon to this date. Councilman Young: I think if that comes in and he meets the requirements imposed by the State and there is no regulatory Ordinance on the books of the City he should be granted a license. What it boils down to is we feel like we need to regulate this so we are denying a license to someone otherwise entitled to one because we want to get a new Ordinance in here first. This particular gentleman has leased space and is in the business and it seems to be almost an arbitrary act at the moment - in fact)it is. Councilman Nichols: If I could address myself to the matter, Mr. Mayor. I recognize the concern our Police Department has over the problems that are inherent in private patrol systems operating in a community such as ours. We have all read recently the problems that developed in the area south of us. But I very seriously question if the route of this community.'is to vest sole and complete authority in the Chief of Police to decide who, will get a business license and actually control the operation to the extent of requiring that individual to get permission from the Chief of Police to increase his work force, change his location, modify his business in anyway. The Council, to my knowledge, has never before attempted to delegate such a broad spectrum of authority to any individual even in the matter of alcoholic beverages. We have provided an opportunity for our Law Enforcement officials to counsel the Council, to advise us and make recommendations. I feel very uncertain about the prospect of delegating the total authority in this area. Earlier this evening we discussed the capability of the Council to withhold a business license or renew a license if we thought it was necessary and I . think the same principles would hold here if we ran into that. I think we are creating an excessive mechanism which does not yet, at least in our community, present itself to that extent. I would like to see this go back with a lot more thought given to it before it comes back again to Council. The only thought I would leave is if these types of requirements that might be incidental to the issuance of a business license were present and if these data were required to be presented to the Chief of Police simply for his information, I think much the same thing would be achieved. Because then he would have the information he seeks and if he were to feel it was a dangerous or hazardous thing then he could indicate this to the City Council. I, for myself, do not want to delegate this broad area of authority to a Police function at this time. - 13 - CITY COUNCIL ADJ. REG. MEETING 10-4-71 Page Fourteen CITY ATTORNEY: Private Patrols Councilman Shearer: Mr. Mayor, I agree. I had a question on my notes - - how do you appeal a decision of the Police Chief? I felt that somehow that should be in the Ordinance, not to take anything away from the . Chieff but we don't know who we will have in 30 or 40 years. Secondly, on Page 3, there is a statement that concerns me. Section 6391, "if the Chief of Police determines the applicant is of good moral character and never been convicted of any felony, etc., the Police Chief shall issue an identification card.'w Is this saying in effect if a man has been convicted of a felony�he cannot be issued a card? If it is�then for my own vote I don't want it written that way. A person can be convicted of a felony, stealing a car at age 16 or 18, and -at age 30 he may be a very upstanding law abiding citizen. So that alone should not disqualify him. Mayor Chappell: We do have a motion ..... Mr. Wakefield: In view of the comments made /I would suggest a substitute motion be offered. Councilman Lloyd: I would offer a substitute motion that this matter be referred back to the City Attorney and the Chief of Police. Seconded by Councilman Young and carried. Councilman Young: Mr. Mayor - we just voted on the Ordinance draft, but there is an application here, a communication to the City Manager regarding Perry°s Security System with a recommendation from the Chief of Police to decline the issuing of a permit, which my understanding now is that this is not within the purview o.f '.the ..C.i.ty, Counc.i.l? Mr. Wakefield: That is correct. Normally the license would be issued by the City Clerk as the licensing agent. Councilman Young: So as the matter stands nowanyotherwise qualified applicant should go to the City Clerk's office and get a license? Mr. Wakefield: That is correct. REDEVELOPMENT AREA `. Mr. Wakefield: This is the first step in establishing a redevelopment area for the Central Business District area. This step is preliminary in the sense it establishes a Survey Area, which simply is.a.n area for further study with reference to the necessity for redevelopment. When this area is established :.by the City Council�,it will go to the Planning Commission and they shall review it, designating a portion of the Survey Area for actual redevelopment and prepare a preliminary plan for the redevelopment of the specified area. The Resolution when adopted would have the effect of designating the area outlined in the Williams &'Mocine report dated September 1971'. as the Survey Area, the map of the area is found between Pages 5 and 6 of that publication.. RESOLUTION NO. 4455 The City Attorney presented: ADOPTED "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WEST COVINA, CALIFORNIA, DESIGNATING REDEVELOPMENT SURVEY AREA NO. 1 FOR STUDY PURPOSES." Mayor Chappell: Hearing no objections/ waive further reading of the body of said Resolution. - 14 - CITY COUNCIL ADJ. REG. MEETING 10-4-71 CITY ATTORNEY: Resolution No. 4455 Page Fifteen Motion by Councilman Shearer, seconded by Councilman Young, to adopt said Resolution. Motion carried on roll call vote as follows: AYES: Councilmen Shearer, Nichols, Young, Lloyd, Chappell NOES: None ABSENT: None • ORAL COMMUNICATIONS None. THE CHAIR CALLED A RECESS AT 9:07 P.M. COUNCIL RECONVENED AT 9:20 P.M. CITY MANAGER REQUEST AUTHORIZATION TO Mr. Aiassa: Staff has submitted a ENTER INTO AGREEMENT WITH rather complete report THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES on this item. This is RE. AWWS (Staff-:Repbrt) a system that has been adopted and we find it works very well. We do have a provision on Page 4 whereby we can terminate the agreement by giving adequate notice to the party concerned. My recommendation is that Council authorize the City Manager to negotiate this agreement and we try it for a year and then report back to Council the results. This cost was placed in -the budget for 1971-72. Motion by Councilman Nichols, seconded by Councilman Young and carried, to authorize the .City Manager to sign the agreement with the City of Los Angeles to obtain the services of the AWWS. REVISIONS TO WEST COVINA Mr. Aiassa: This is the revisions of ELECTRICAL CODE the Electrical Code. I would advise Council that I didn't have an opportunity to notify Council because the notice came rather late Friday, but we have a Class 4 rating from the Fire Underwriters. And one of the reason5for receiving less deficiency points was the upkeeping and updating of all our codes and administrating them likewise. This was one of the provisions that helped us to gain a better'classification. Mayor Chappell: I think our Chief and your staff is to be commended for securing this reduction because it will be a tremendous savings in our area on the fire rates because of this new rate. A commendation is to be made to all of those involved. Mr. Aiassa: Chief Wetherbee has been working on this thing for 10 years and we have actually taken all of the various deficiencies that the City has been given prior to 1958 and we have actually dollarwise evaluated each one as to how we could reduce them.. We also want to give a lot of credit to the representatives of the various water comp anies,.which through some city expense, were finally able to continue some of the deadends into loop systems and increased pipe capacities to give us the water pressures we needed and the hydrant capacity we needed. Also with Council support, we actually rebuilt the Fire Department and established stations where they were important and also the manpower in the capacity we have maintained, including the Snorkel. All of which has helped us to get to this point. This will probably be of material benefit to all people of the City, depend- ing on the value and the type of structure of the houses and the commercial area. I believe Mr. Chappell can speak on that much better than I can; he is in the insurance business. Council should be commended for allowing us the funds to do the things we have been able to do in the Fire Department to achieve the Class 4 rating. Mayor Chappell: Fine, Mr. Aiassa. That is a real feather in our City°s cap. Motion by Councilman Shearer,.. seconded, by' .Councilman Lloyd, to direct the City Attorney to prepare a revision to the Electrical Code of the - 15 - CITY COUNCIL ADJ. REG. MEETING 10-4-71 Page Sixteen CITY Manager:.Electrical Code Revisions City of West Covina as outlined in the report dated September 8, 1971. Councilman Shearer: Question. Now that we have gotten through the plaudits of 4 versus,this take:.anythi.ng away from it? We are making our requirements • slightly less restrictive than the present electrical code. Will that have any effect on the fire rating? Mr. Aiassa: We have reviewed most of these with the engineers of the Pacific Board of Fire Under- writers and after a City has reached the population of 50,000 you are automatically put under the National Board of Raters instead of the Pacific, but due to the number of cities in California that reached the capacity of 50,000, it was impossible for the National Board to handle it, so the Pacific Board has continued to rate these cities, with the sanction and approval of the National Board. I would say some of our codes adopted were a little restrictive. Mr. Fowler, Director of our Building and Safety Department/ is present and he might answer the question. Mr. Fowler, Director Building & Safety Dept. To specifically answer Councilman Shearer's question. This requirement placed in the code adopted in March was really in excess of the requirements of the surrounding communities and the National Board of Fire Underwriters. It was pointed out by the staff of an electrical contractor in the Pomona area, that it was in excess of the surrounding communities requirements. We, in our weekly staff meetings, felt it was too, so as a consequence the entire section we"..took under .study and,..this revision -request was agreeable with staff. In fact�I think if the letter hadn't come from the electrical contractor) the staff would have proposed the change. Councilman Shearer: You say the Ordinance as it is right now is in accordance with the Fire Underwriters requirements? Mr. Fowler: Yes as it is right now we would be equal to all the surrounding municipalities. We are not in excess of their requirements. We are trying to maintain our requirements with those of surrounding area because of construction costs. Councilman Shearer: If we adopt this Ordinance ewe don't jeopardize our fire rating? Mr. Fowler: No, not in anyway. Motion carried. JOHN DE TULLIO FETTER Mr. Aiassa: This is in answer to the RE WEED ABATEMENT letter addressed to the Council. Motion by Councilman Nichols, seconded by Councilman Young and carried, to receive and file staff report. CIVIC CENTER PARKING Mr. Aiassa: We are now negotiating STRUCTURE AGREEMENT a contract amendment WITH LOS ANGELES COUNTY under the Joint Powers Authority with the County in connection with the parking structure. As you knowjthe staff has submitted to the Council and the Public Authority a rendering of the parking structure model. At the present time our agreements with the County are based on surface parking/and we will now have to go into a more formal agreement for structural parking, which will increase the rental charge. I would like authorization from the Council to proceed with negotiations with the County and bring forth to Council a formal - 16 - CITY COUNCIL ADJ. REG. MEETING 10-4-71 Page Seventeen City Manager: Civic Center PaAking Structure Agreement agreement at your meeting of October 12th. We have been meeting with the County now for at least 90 or 120 days.and because of vacation schedules in both areas/we have had delays. I think the County has pretty well consented to what we propose to do and.their staff has reviewed the parking structure model. I think we have come to a favorable conclusion as far as cost and fees are concerned,,and I now need authorizatim from the Countil to proceed in the preparation of the formal agreement. Motion by Councilman Young, seconded by Councilman Lloyd, that authorization be granted. Councilman Lloyd: Mr. Aiassa, what kind of an increase in our indebtedness or costs on the Joint Powers thing, will this entail? Mr. Aiassa: Actually the estimate that was given to the Council for the parking structure will be amortized over a period of 25 years. The fees we are proposing to.charge will be based on the amortization of the investment for the parking structure. Councilman Lloyd: You haven't answered my question. What kind of .money is it going to cost? i Mr. Fast: Stone and Youngberg has supplied the City with their estimate that the bond issue will have to approximate 1% million dollars. Councilman Lloyd: What are we paying per year on the City Hall? Mr. Aiassa: $200,400 per year. Councilman Lloyd: What kind of increase will this be per year? Mr. Fast: The City will not pay anything; it will be based on a lease with the County. The County will reimburse the City and the payment will be made on that basis and it will amount to approximately $100,000. Councilman Lloyd: In other words ,,the cost of this situation now goes to $300,400? Mr. Aiassa: No, we also rent 3000 square feet at 45(,' per square foot which is a deduction of several thousand dollars, plus the $100,000--for.the parking structure is paid for by the County solely. Councilman Lloyd: Mr. Eliot: Controller • Councilman Lloyd: Mr. Aiassa: Councilman Lloyd: Mr. Eliot: This then will not cost the City in cold hard cash a penny? That is correct. We don It have to pay anything and at the end of 25 years,it is ours? That is correct. So we are really getting something for nothing. The City is supplying the land. Councilman Lloyd: We are accomplishing this without expending any monies from the City and this is a very important point that I am trying to make. Some along the line, we are going to be.,.censuredy so I think it is - 17 - CITY COUNCIL ADJ. REG. MEETING 10-4-71 Page Eighteen CITY MANAGER: Civic Center Parking Structure Agreement time to say that it is not costing the City anything. We end up with a structure which has a value of a million dollars or more at the end of 25 years, plus the fact we alleviate a parking problem in the Civic Center and I wanted to point this out. Mr. Aiassa: I think Mr. Lloyd has made a point and the only reason we are going into the parking structure at this time was due to the additional development of the Court which made it quite essential that we provide this parking now. We are also at the same basis with the Public Library/and they will be doubling their capacity and they also will be leasing parking spaces from the City. So actually we are doing our best to make this self-supporting. Motion carried. CITY CLERK PARADE PERMIT APPLICATION Motion by Councilman Nichols, seconded by EDGEWOOD HIGH SCHOOL Councilman Young and carried, that the Edgewood High School parade permit application be granted and that the fee be waived. MAYOR'S REPORTS (Youth Commission appointments, already taken care of.) COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS Councilman Lloyd: I would like to report on my attendance at the League of California.Cities conference in San Francisco. I think in the total time I have been in attendance, which has been the past four years, this was by -far the best meeting. I thought the speakers and presentations were better than they had been, what the reasons are, I don't know. I noted with a certain amount of interest that Revenue Sharing seemed to be the major consideration, to the extent that the President of the United States saw fit to send the Vice -President to that meeting over and above anything that had been planned so response could be made to Congressman Wilbur Mills, Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee and Mills had said Revenue Sharing was not the way to go and the President saw fit to send his people both in Casper Weinberger and Vice -President Agnew, to at least respond very vehemently that Revenue Sharing is indeed the way to go. So)of course, this affects the cities of California as well as the rest of the Nation. It was a very informative conference. I think there is a new wind upon the land and that something is in the process of happening to cities. I think we should be very acutely aware of what is going on and I certainly think Bud Carpenter, Director of the League,put together a very fine presentation. His report was extremely informative and if any of you would like, I think we can get a copy of his comments. I think this should be done, because this is the year that we should be very informative because of what is happening to our State/ and what is going to happen was depicted in the presentation of the League. I would further like to report to the Council that I did indeed see our City Manager in Sacramento, pounding the ear of several people up there, achieving those things that had to be done. I think it was quite a shock for him to find me in the same arena with him, but he relented and allowed me. to go to dinner with him that evening, so all is well. Councilman Young: Two points. While you were up at San Francisco, I went to the Methodist Church locally and participated in a program, the background of which briefly was a Methodist Youth Organization participating over a period of a year in an area in the City of LaPuente in tutoring young people. Helping them develop reading.skills. This would come close to the educationally handicapped children. They had something like 25 youth participating for a full year. They would take their Saturdays for a full year and work with these youngsters. Somebody wrote an - 18 - CITY COUNCIL ADJ. REG. MEETING 10-4-71 Page Nineteen COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS article to Parents Magazine about it and as a result of that they won a second prize of $300,as a service reward, plus recognition in the magazine for their work.. I would like to suggest to Council, and this is a point Councilman Lloyd oftentimes makes and I think very correctly, that we don't recognize these type of things often enough, • and I would like to suggest that staff further research this and that we make some sort of suitable recognition of this group. That is a motion, Mr. Mayor. Seconded by Councilman Lloyd and carried. Councilman Young: The second point. I would like a later report on it and perhaps this would be an area for the Special Enforcement Officer to enforce, but I observed that we have a few timed parking zones around the City. One happens to be in front of my office and periodically the squad car comes by, the police officer gets outs and marks tires and then goes on,and in a way it is a bit of a traffic hazard, and then he comes back later and writes tickets. I am wondering how many parking zones we have and if it would be worthy of a full-time enforcement person. Maybe we should have some staff follow up report on this. Mayor Chappell: Mr. Aiassa, will you have your staff make a report on this? Mr. Aiassa: Yes, we have that under surveillance and will make a report on it. Mayor Chappell: I do want to agree with Councilman Lloyd on the League of California Cities meeting. Of those I attended this was by far the best. We certainly had some good dialogue, Chairman Mills of the Ways and Means Committee, actually allowed a question period at the end of his talk and it brought some good questions that let us understand exactly where we stood and it certainly wasn't in our favor, but with the Vice -President coming back and explaining this was the President's proposal and they are going to try and work it out so it would be a law in the future, well, we will probably see some action on it -and by reading our newspapers„will know the final outcome.. Those that have read the papers in the past and seen the editorials jesting around that perhaps when you go to these conferences you put your hand in the trough - 1.have been in conference with the editor of the Tribune and explained to him the viewpoint of the layman as he looks at this type of meeting. We have Commissioners and ourselves and full-time employees who take time from their busy schedules to go to these meetings and as I look at it I don't believe any of us would waste our time going if these meetings were not adequate. So he is going to allow me to write a letter to him, looking at our side of the picture, people giving up more than we receive and perhaps we can get a little positive thinking on it. We have Commissioners that we ask to -go on these things and they read these articles in the newspaper and they say who needs the action? And we need these people to go to these meetings and get the input from the other cities in the State. I think Dick Tracy had an idea which is a positive one and I am going to follow up on it, so those of us who attend these things and give up 3 or 4 days of our own work time can be recognized and not criticized.
