CERTIFICATE OF Mayor Chappell: From time to time the COMMENDATION TO West Covina Police JUANITA GUNN Department awards a Certificate of Commendation and this evening Police Chief Sill is here and I am CITY COUNCIL 12/13/71 Page Two PRESENTATIONS - Cont'd. going to ask him.to make this presentation. Chief Allen Sill: (Introduced to the audience and the Mayor, Mrs. Juanita Gunn.) Mrs. Gunn.is the recipient •of this ,award, and in these.days'of spiraling crime rates.and a lack of a number of our citizens to become involved in helping law enforcement', we have a very unique person here to make this award to this evening. Since last Spring we have. been plagued throughout the City by a young misguided 15 year old youth who had been making threatening phone calls implying to the 'person receiving the call that he had their son.or daughter in custody and demanded the recipient of.the call to do certain things. We recorded close to two hundred of these calls in the..City and we worked very hard in cooperation with the telephone company .and had a number of lines bugged so we could intercept the call but it wasn't -until this Fall that he unfortunately called.Mrs:.Gunn who had the presence of mind to.play along with this young man. :and actually make .an appointment with him and then we substituted one of. our young ladies 'in the Police Department,Mrs. Cecelia Martinez, in her place. The meet was made and the young man apprehended. '•It was an exceptional job. (Read Certificate of Appreciation and presented to Mrs. Gunn.)

Mr. - Aiassa: are doing right now, removing Page Four All communications directed to the City Council come.under this -category. The intent in this instancewas what you .the item for further discussion. • Mayor Chappell: Hearing no objections, Item j will be removed from the Consent Calendar. Motion by Councilman Shearer, seconded by Councilman Lloyd, , to. approve Consent Calendar Items 1 through 10 with the exception of Item j under.Communications and that this Item be removed.. Mayor Chappell: Is'there anyone in the audience that has a question with regard to the Consent Calendar items? (No questions.) Motion carried on roll call vote as follows: AYES: Councilmen Shearer, Nichols, Young, Lloyd, Chappell NOES: None ABSENT: None ITEM j OF Councilman Lloyd: Recently I received a COMMUNICATIONS letter .from the graduate school at Claremont, which was the result of my approaching them and asking them if'they would consider the possibility of doing a feasibility study on the merger of the City of Covina and the City.of West Covina and a copy of that letter was included with a memorandum to the City . Council as well as the City Council in Covina. In essence what it •amounted to.,it outlined the areas of concern that the school in Claremont would undertake a study on if it was decided to conduct such a study at a cost of $24,600.' All of this has been discussed previously and in the newspapers. And at this point we arrived where we need action on the part of the Covina Council and I think we can safely say that it intends to take no action. My immediate reaction is one of both disappointment and incredulity on the fact that someone.would not be willing .to study something that might save in its own right over a million dollars a year to the Cities. The reasons for not conducting the study are unto the Council of Covina, certainly known to'themselves, I don't know, they have not been communicated to me. However, they are within their rights to make any decision they want. They are elected by the people of Covina and they serve them. My reaction was one of being somewhat.hurt and annoyed that people would reject or spurn a very valid offer by this Council by a 5 to O vote to support the making of this type of .study. It was really beyond my understanding. My reaction was .to say "well if that is the case we shouldn't bother with them." However, that does not say what the reasons for the study were'all.about in the first place. The reasons for the Study have not changed. That is in the dynamics of urban'development there exists.the.need for the understanding and a gathering of the information as to what -the best economical, social and. political unit is regarding cities that,serve in this immediate area. Unfortunately we cannot.go on our own because that is a • unilateral decision and we don'.t have that ability. I would. like to say that at this time I will make a motion that this be referred to staff and if ever we have the opportunity to have favorable consideration by a City, and in this case specifically Covina, where they would be willing to conduct the study, nothing more, .then I would ask that this Council -.be willing to take it off the shelf, dust it off and look at it again. I think the history of this has been adequately covered. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Councilman Young: I will second the motion and in doing so 4 - CITY COUNCIL `..12/13/71 Page Five CONSENT CALENDAR: Item 1 (j) I think we .are..simpl.y,restating.our,willingness,.which we have,.. .expressed throughout the many months this has come.before us: -from time to time and which'.has_been expressed by prior;Councils, to view the feasibility of Ia merger with Covina�specifically,`'or any _ neighboring City, where,it would'seem.to be of an :advantage to those . concerned. It appears that is all the motion calls.for and I.am happy to second it. Mayor Chappell: Is there any further discussion? I' don' t'- think we` can , do anymore than that at this time.' We.have put ourselves on record and I feel the City Council of Covina or, Industry.or anyone else that might be interested.iq this kind of dialogue'or,study would have to make the next move. Motion carried. All voting do Favor. Councilman Young} ..Mr. Mayor, before moving .-on could I refer us back -to- Item I (a) of the 'summary of action of the•Recreation &:.Parks Commission. Specifically Item 2 of their Summary of Action dated November 23, �971. I am sorry I overlooked this, I made notes on the back of the report . but not on the 'agenda. My concern, , which perhaps should be addressed to the City.Attorney, is.,the City.of West Covina 4q uately.insured With respect.to.sanctioned'.. activities?-hderstand we don't have the control over those activities butapparently give them our approval.`` Are" we properly covered? •Mr. Wakefield, Mr Mayor and members of.fhe City Cou cil , City Attorney our General Public Li,abili;ty policy._is of the broadest possible type :written and covers a.11.types of activities.in'which the City has„ any .liability or .an, exposure to liability.'' I° think without';,question-, our insurance' pol. r is ,adequate to -cover us _for' this type .of a situation. It does not ma,h however that every activity that is car;ied..on.in a' Sponsored type program would necessarily under every.circumst.ance result in a bility to the City. Councilman Yca Thank. you. Mayor Chappell: And you probably know that many of our organizations must furnish certificate of insurance to the.City before they are allowed to cppduct their activities, naming the City : a's 4 '. ' ured. So this is 'another area that protects us. PUBLIC WORKS PROJECT N,O. SD-72013 LOCATION:.

CITY COUNCIL 12/1.3/71 Page Six PUBLIC WORKS: PROJECT NO. .SD-72013' Mr. Wakefield: Mr. Mayor and members of. the Council, -the, City Attorney funds must be provided for.before .the contract could be.awarded. I think -the City Council could reserve action on the actual transfer of the.fund.s until the amount of the contract is known, however, if that is your • desire. Councilman Young`: I would offer, the.motionthat we approve the plans and specifications for Project .SD..32.013 and authorize the City Engineer to call for bids. S\eeonded:by Councilman Lloyd. Councilman Shearer: Is this. a facility that we could normally expent;to be put in at the time 'of developm` end somehow overlooked or mis= designed?. Mr. Aiassa:: Councilman.Shearer, this.is the same question I posed -to Mr. Zimmerman,. the City gngineer,:and significantly :and reasonably enough .this was supposed. to be adequate at the time the development was developed but it has not 'performed as sufficiently as it should have. I think Mr.'Zimmerman can explain.. Mr. Zimmerman: Mr. Mayor.and members of ;Council, a drain City Engineer, wa:s,put in 'at this lo-ation.at the time of the.subdivision:development. The backs out on a theoretical- basis, •drain it is an unusual design in that`the..pipe comes.down a deep slope and a 1' to '1% grade .and according to our calculations It appeared it should fun4tion, However,. as a matter.of fact it,.does not and T can only say # is because of the unusual layout of the thing which doesn't lend .itself to normal. analysis by hydraulic design. The drain has overf,.pwed several times in the.last-several years and the reason. for the action.now is that the developeras built two homes on;the lower two lots .and these homes:and the swimming pools are threatened to be flooded out. So we feel'.we have to.recognize the fault and rectify it. Councilman, Shearer: That was: a little more . explanation than 1 ' necessarily wanted, but.' that is a1l'night • We. are paste the point of',any recourse on the part of the -.developer - that is the point I was concerned about?' Mr. Aiassa:. Yes and that is the point I,explored today with :Mr .; Z: imme rman $gtion carried. SPECIAL FACILITIES COSTS LOCATION: Woodside Village.

I would like.to AND THE DAY BEFORE have the authority to have half staff on the NEW YEAR'S day before Christmas'and the day before New Year's. Motion by Councilman Lloyd, seconded by Councilman Young and carried, .authorizing the City Manager to,hAlf-staff City Hall services on the day before Christmas and the.day.before New Year's as done in prior years . (CITY ATTORNEY ADVISED THAT ITEM 6 OF CITY ATTORNEY'AGENDA SHOULD BE HANDLED TONIGHT.-) CITY.ATTO'RNEY LEASE AND AGREEMENT Mr. Makefield: .This.item_has to do with BETWEEN CITY OF 'WEST the `lease and the Joint COVINA AND COUNTY OF Powers Agreement between LOS ANGELES FOR OFF- the County and, the. City of Went Covina STREET..PARKING FACILI- for the .leasing .of the proposed off-street TIES parking facilitie.s.to serve. the. Civic Center complex including.the Courts. I would. ask • for a motion to approve the lease and .authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign. So moved by Councilman Lloyd,. seconded by Councilman Shearer.: Councilman Shearer: The term was .used'in..the staff report "preliminary lease".`. Am..I right in assuming .if the estimated co-st is more or,`less than_, anticipated, and if more, the lease would be subject to change in the amount to fully cover the increased construction`icosts? Mr. Wakefield: The matter`of the interim nature of the lease, ,was; fully discussed at a meeting of the County and it was finally decided it would be more.appropriate from.eve.ry.standpoint to simply agree on a vested rental amount in an -amount to cover if the bid$.would come in somewhat higher than anticipated.,.�zt:was finally decided at a monthly rental rate of $210.00per !month. This the, staff believes is adequate to.pro.vide sufficient revenue to the City under any., conceivable contingencies,to finance the total cost of the project. It is not ,an interim lease,.' It ' is a final; lease between the .City, and the County. Councilman.Shearer That being the case,.I would be in opposition to it and and not that I don't have confidence in the City Staff but in my.past experience estimates have come in way over.the estimated cost figure. I would want to be positive that in no way ,is the City going to be obligated for any of this cost over and.above the rental received and as.I see it under this condition conceivably we could. Mr. Fast: The staff is fully aware of the Council's concerns about any exposure by•the.City with 'regard , to the cost of. this, Parking Structure. But it is impossible.to;go.forward without a signed lease and. the payment is based on the. maximum interest rate legally possible. 42 - CITY COUNCIL 12/13/71 .Page Forty -Three CITY ATTORNEY:. LEASE.& AGREEMENT CITY & COUNTY With regard to the construction itself, the City Council will have full control of the. c:os,t'.of:•the.:project and in no way: will the City Council be in the position:.of awardirAg.a bid.for.the construction of this job without full.assurance that the figures .mentioned in.the lease will • cover all the costs. Councilman Shearer: Is it'absolutely.necessary that we sign a lease at this. time to fill our commitment? Mr. Aiassa: Yes I would say. we have to .sign a le ase bef,re we go to.bid.: Mr. Wakefield.: Yes, the .lease..and agr.e:ement between the City and the County is like a sublease. That is the City itself must. enter into a lease/,agreement with the Joint Powers Agency which'will'be the vehicle for financing.the - required bond issue to construct the parking strµcture. Without the backup lease.between the City and the County the City really isn't in the position to proceed with the Joint Powers Agency because there is no backup assurance that the County will lease the .Parking Structure and that'it will be fully utilized. That means the City itself would be assuming the entixe.risk of the financing of the Parking Structure. Councilman Shearer: I understand that there ds a clause in here that.provides'for additional maintenance costs with a provision for that to be adjusted and for that reason why can't there.be in a clause in here for the basic rental fee to be adjusted? Mr, Wakefield: What you suggest Was discussed.'with the County representatives. The County Counsel's Office has reservations about the validity of the lease which is.predicated'upon,the repaying to the City of the entire. cost of the construction of:the park.ing,structure. This has to do with the technical''requirements of tk�a law and it .is their feeling the lease would be open to the possibility of.legal .attack simply upop the basis of the standpoint. that it really isn't a bona fide lease., it is.simply a'method of financing the'building and paying for it in'installments during the 'life of the bonds. While I don't agree with that position I think it. is one'we have to recognize and work.with in dealing with the County in matters such as this. The provisions you'refer to insofar as the maintenance costs are concerned which allows for the upward adjustments'.of the maintenance cost is on a 5 year basis and'if the County is dissatisfied with the amount of.the increase the County has the option to provide for the maintenance of the facility:` But that type''of a`provision-is typical. in most commercial leases today'whe're the tenant'.asbumes the.risk really of increased maintenance costs and increased taxes and items of that sort. Mayor Chappell: Where do we stand legally if the bid comes. in too high .and we have to. cut it down are we.still'obligated to • ' that structure? Mr. Aiassa: In --:that case we will. have to change the plans of the structure to bring the cost down. Councilman Young: We_do have flexibility in that respect? Mr. Aiassa: Yes. Councilman Nichols: - I .am prepared to vote the motion with the very clear. -understanding if,the 43 - CITY COUNCIL 12/13/71 Page Forty -Four CITY ATTORNEY: LEASE & AGREEMENT -'CITY/COUNTY project costs do come in in.excess.of the lease that the project will.definitely be increased in rental charge to meet that. Motion carried on roll call'vote as follow$: AYES: Councilmen Nichols, Young, Lloyd, Chappell • NOES: Councilman Shearer ABSENT: None Councilman Young: Mr. Mayor a question of the City Attorney. Is there any necessity on these other Public Hearing items to open.the hearings prior to adjournment to another date? (Mayor Chappell determined that there was no one present, in the audience interested in•the two Public Hearing items, to becarried over to the _adjourned meeting.) Mr. Wakefield: Mr. Mayor and Council, if the meeting is continued then the items unfinished will simply be continued.on the agenda.
