03-18-1974 - Regular Meeting - MinutesMINUTES OF ADJOURNED REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL CITY OF WEST COVINA, CALIFORNIA MARCH 18, 1974. The adjourned regular meeting of the City Council called to order at 4 P.M. in the West Covina Council Chambers by Mayor Chester Shearer. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Councilman Nevin Browne. ROLL CALL Present: Mayor Shearer; Councilmen: Browne, Lloyd, Chappell Absent: Nichols Others Present: George Aiassa, City Manager Lela Preston, City Clerk (Arrived late) Clarence Markham, Administrative Ass't. Richard Klemp, Staff Reporter - S.G.V.D.T. Mayor Shearer stated that Councilman Nichols was ill. At 4:03 P.M. the Mayor suggested that the meeting adjourn to the City Manager's conference room, which would be more convenient for the Joint Meeting with Advisory Board of the Chamber of Commerce. Council agreed. JOINT MEETING WITH Mayor Shearer called the meeting to order at ADVISORY BOARD OF 4:07 P.M. The following members of the THE CHAMBER OF Advisory Board were present: COMMERCE H. L. Perry, President/Chairman of the Committee; Harvey Krieger, John Q. Adams, Stan Smith, Phil Wax. H. L. Perry Mr. Mayor and Councilmen, nearly everyone Chairman present was present at the last meeting we Advisory Board had. The agreement between the City and the Chamber of Commerce indicates that the Executive Committee of the Chamber of Commerce will serve as the Advisory Board for the sales promotion of the Business License Tax. So we are coming before the Council as the Advisory Board, although it is a little difficult as indicated last time to take off one hat and move it aside for another hat; however, we are still members of the Executive Committee. I believe the last time we met it was merely to lay the ground work as to what was the purpose of the meeting as called for in the agreement between the City and the Chamber of Commerce. Our responsibility as members of the Advisory Board is to not only serve the Chamber of Commerce but also our responsibility is to criticize the Chamber in the projects that are not worthwhile, or where we do not conform to the conditions of the agreement. And this is the reason we appear before the City Council. I might also add that it also stipulates in • the agreement that we should meet four times a year with Council to apprise them of what is being performed and that we are adhere- ing to the conditions of the contract. We would be glad to answer any questions that Council may have. -I might just point out the effective things we have done and say we are also here for criticism, suggestions - constructive or otherwise, with regard to retail trade promotion, etc. CITY COUNCIL ADJ. REG. MEETING Page Two Advisory Board, Chamber of Commerce 3/18/74 In our promotion projects I might start off with the one weahave just completed, the Fiesta de Mexico, and from all we can gather we have heard nothing but praise, although I am sure we will hear some criticism also. I think many of you attended the final luncheon we had yesterday - Mr. Lloyd and Mr. Browne attended. • Mayor Shearer: I will interrupt by pointing out that the other members of Council were performing official matters elsewhere yesterday and that is why they were not in attendance. Mr. Perry: Yes, we realized that. I would like to have the members of our Advisory Board give you a breakdown of some of the things we have had.in our Business Development Program. John Adams (In Summary) Redevelopment Committee Speaking to the Redevelopment Committee activity our primary activity has been in conjunction with the City to enter into contractural agreements with Williams and Mocine to complete the work in the CBD area and to study and recommend the highest and best use at the present time for those areas. This report will be before the Planning Commission Wednesday night along with the pre- liminary report on the Orange/Merced area. There have been two meetings with those concerned, good participation and apparently a very positive reaction in line with what Williams and Mocine is suggesting could be done in that area. We are anticipating a similar reaction in the West Covina Center. We have had one meeting with the landlords and the tenants and had very positive reaction and a good rapport. The Williams and Mocine report in part has been funded from the Business Improvement monies. And the report • will tell us where we are going and how to go in the balance of the CBD area and the Orange/Merced area. Phil. Wax Land Use Committee The most important part of the whole program is to establish not only criteria but the economics of the different areas and how to accomplish in an orderly fashion. I think there will be some very worthy things coming out, hopefully, as soon as possible but realistically I think it will take two years to put the pieces together. It will require a lot of effort and we hope the Council will not overly react to some of the areas or some of the good and part things that will be put out, so hopefully the City can move forward. We have some areas where the business people are not speaking very favorably to this and it will be a little tougher to make some of those decisions, but it is still important that there is dialogue on all the good and bad features. The suggestions we receive from the various sources are all passed through the Committee and discussed and considered, and not only by staff people, but the Chamber Committ,.:�, s, :�r,rl it is done in an orderly fashion right up the line. Stan Smith We have several buildings going up and • New Business Development under construction at this time - Committee the Ambassador Inn, Security Pacific Bank, Alpha Beta, Roos Loos Medical Center; and there are others under consideration. The high rise office building at Eastland is still being planned (explained in further detail). The Orange/Merced plan is coming along really good. There will be a meeting on Wednesday with the Planning Commission with reference to this plan. - 2 - • � J • CITY COUNCIL ADJ. REG. MEETING Page Three Advisory Board, Chamber of Commerce 3/18/74 Mayor Shearer: The.Shopping Center at Amar and Valinda - when does that start? I was by there two or three weeks ago and didn't notice any activity. Mr. Strachan: That was supposed to have been started by now. Mr. Zimmerman: Mr. Mayor, they haven't started yet. Councilman Chappell: Do they have their building permits? Mr. Strachan: Yes, and I understood they were ready to go but apparently something has delayed them temporarily but they have their building permits. John Adams: Bill Sims isn't here but he has been our man in the day to day contacts on Glendora and the West Covina Center? not only recreating an interest but hopefully will maintain that interest over a period of several months until we had an opportunity to come before those people and this was done on March 7 when Mr. Williams came down and made a presentation to those people. The presentation was well received and there will be an immediate follow up and Mr. Williams will be making some suggestions as to what he thinks can be down now and the long range prospective for that area. That I believe is a quick rundown on what the business development has been to date. Again, thanks to the money that became available through the business license tax we were able to participate in the economic study and conduct the seminars which we have had and which we will continue to have. We are looking forward to next year and we hope and feel this will be an ongoing program looking at all of our commercial centers. We will be coming before you with our program for next year which will hopefully carry on this type of work in this and the other areas. Mr. Perry: I feel also under our business development plans would be the highway and transportation program and we have a very active committee working there. One of our great concerns in this City is the fact we would like to see this City maintained as a corridor to the east rather than drifting down to what would be called the new center they have in one of the neighboring cities along the Pomona Freeway and also working possibly toward the Glendora off ramp. This is all pro- gressing but I don't think we have too much to show for that right now. It just means constant working to encourage that development to keep it -from going the other way. Also along this line and which I think are essential to any city is the item of publications. I believe you are all aware that we have our new city maps, which have been�,pro- vided to the City and for general circulation. We feel these maps turned out very well. (Explained map construction, use of maps, company who printed the maps, etc) There.is one thing in there, Jim, it does mention the Congressional District and at the time it was published it was the 25th Congressional District and probably that is something we should have caught. Mr. Strachan, I wonder if you might mention some of the spin off on the publication of this map by Windsor Publications. Mr. Strachan: The flyers that you see and which are going to be a part of the Tourist Program for the City will be provided by Windsor Publications as a spin off of the printing of the maps. (Explained) There will be 251000 printed. This will give us a mailing piece, not too - 3 - CITY COUNCIL ADJ. REG. MEETING Page Four Advisory Board, Chamber of Commerce 3/18/74 expensive, yet will be a very colorful folder on West Covina. One of the things we are interested in is the fact that Windsor Publications also have a service, a%�-onputer arrangement whereby they will furnish to us leads in any area of commercial development or other type of development. (Explained in detail). They will i pull the leads from their files and furnish to us at no expense with complete addresses, the person to contact, etc.., and from the standpoint of economic development it will be of great help to us. They will also furnish to us colored slides of all the things you see in the brochure so we will be able to give a colored presentation of all the key selling areas as far as West Covina is concerned, a slide presentation all at no cost to us. These are the two areas I was extremely interested in and these things will be furnished to us as a by-product. Phil Wax: One of the concerns we have had in the tourist end of it in regard to hotels and motels has been the lack of a brochure with highlights of the City that could be used by the hotels and motels in their advertising. Mr. Strachan: We had actually 26,000 maps printed, the most heretofore has been 10,000 maps and this has been done about every two years. Right now they have been mailed out to the gas stations, motels and hotels, in almost any amount they want. So this should all be of help as a selling tool as far as West Covina is concerned. Mr. Perry: This is pretty much of a thumb sketch of the projects underway. If there are any questions? We do have some recommendations we would like . to offer. Councilman Lloyd: Mr. Mayor, I have a question. On the developmental situation, one of the things that -has been presented to me .with regards to the taxsituation on Business Licenses. Gardeners and real estate people have -spoke to me. Have you people addressed yourselves to that? They feel the tax is unfair and are very concerned over what they consider-, to be a la: b'`:of; ability :to adjust. The gardeners feel - some having only one situation in the City of West Covina and jobs elsewhere, that they are being unfairly put on and I happen to agree. Also some of the realtors brought up the same thing and they want a review of the situation. I may not be speaking for the resV=pf the Council but only for myself, would it be possible for the Chamber to address itself to that concern by communicating with some of these people? There may not be a solution to it but if there is we might look at it and see if we can come up with something equitable as far as they are concerned. Their complaints may be unjustified, but they fact they made them, I feel is worthy of atten- tion. Would that be an unfair request? Mr. Perry: I don't believe it would be. I will speak on behalf of all unless some of the others think to the contrary. We have heard from time to time from a few individuals that they felt maybe it is not a fair • amount that is being added to their new business license. I might call on Harvey Krieger with regard to the criteria used in the establishment of the business license increase tax. Councilman Chappell: One thing, when we passed on this taxing situation we, as Council, asked that this be reviewed to see if there were any inequities at the end of the year and to see if there shouldn't be some grading device. So I assumed you were going to take that into consideration. 4 - CITY COUNCIL ADJ. REG. MEETING Page Five Advisory Board, Chamber of Commerce 3/18/74 Am I wrong in this assumption? Mr. -Krieger: On this matter when we approached the business improvement license levy it was within •the classifications that the City had established historically. We did not superimpose on any licensee a license that had not been previously established. We worked within the classifications the City had previously established. At the public hearings it was my recollection that both groups appeared and presented verbal protests to their inclusion;historically the real estate broker has always protested not only on the surtax but on the original license levy was most vocal about being assessed a license, not only by this City but any City, on the contention they only had one place of business and merely because they were putting a sign up for the sale of property in a City did not constitute doing business. That has been repeated not only by every City Council but by the courts that they are in fact doing business where they put their sign up. That historically was the basis the City had for assessing the license. Now getting to the present matter, and that is whether or not there is an unfairness or inequity in everybody within the classification being assessed the same addi- tional levy. I think it speaks more to the question as to whether or not the City wants to redefine its classifications and if the City does wish to do that, deleting certain classifications, then I can see certainly an application but I would think it would be more inequitable to take a classification and exclude certain occupations from that classification when theoritically, at least, there was a justification for those groupings to begin with. I think those groupings did make sense to begin with, whether they continue to make sense depends on how you are looking at the total picture including the additional levy. • Now then the Advisory Board would be the proper Board, I think, for the Council to delegate that responsibility to, for them to come back to the Council with a recommendation. This is not the Executive Committee of the Chamber but the Advisory Board of the City Council sitting here and if you have some recommendations, like any other Board or ;Commission you have, I think it is the responsibility of that Board to discharge that if that assignment was made. But, I just wish to state as one member of the Executive Committee, that any such recommendation._­.�i_t least in my mind would have to involve a restructuring of your classifications of licenses, otherwise you would have opened Pandora's Box a year and a half ago. Councilman Lloyd: To interrupt - you and I have spoken of this, and that was the reason we backed off at that time, in order to get the thing underway and done - I said then there may be some inequities however I feel the overall program merits the thrust and drive we need at the present moment. However, I did assure the gardeners that I would bring that up again and I am doing so at this time. I would therefore move that this Advisory Committee be asked to review the equity of the situation regarding isat least those two classifications and more if you so desire, as we go forward with the program. Seconded by Councilman Chappell and carried. Councilman Nichols absent. Mayor Shearer: Are there any further comments from Council? Mr. Perry, I believe you had some recommendations you wanted to advance. - 5 - CITY COUNCIL ADJ. REG. MEETING Page Six Advisory Board, Chamber of Commerce 3/18/74 Mr. Perry: If I might say this and this is not actually coming as a firm recommendation at this time, but we have been discussing it. The Chamber used to have a year which was a calendar year and because • it was a calendar year we went to a fiscal year to closely align ourselves with the City's budget, which is on a fiscal year basis. Now because of the program we now have, financed mainly through the business license tax we feel we would possibly like to go back to a calendar year basis. This is in the discussion stage at this time; however it would bring up the possibility of going on a six month contract or on the possibility of an 18 months contract to bring ourselves in line with the City. As I said,we are not offering this as a recommendation at this time but merely for discussion. Mayor Shearer: A question. Either way that you are talking about would that require some additional billing of the business license tax? Would that in anyway affect the collection of it? I know the City Clerk has just gone through quite a hassle on it because we had the first 6 month billing and then another billing? Mr. Krieger: The answer is "no". When we went into this pro- gram the subject was brought up with your City Manager and your City Attorney at that time, the fact that we were out of kilter with the initiation of the plan and we suggested either a 6 month or an 18 month contract to bring it into line, but in the course of the discussions it was finally resolved as a 1.2 month contract and we ended up perpetuating the pro- blem. The problem being that the first 6 months the additional levy started on July 1, that is how we got off on the 6 month billing and now it is on its first annual billing, but the Chamber, as mentioned, • was originally on a calendar year basis - January 1 to December 1 - switched over to July 1 to June 30 to reconcile itself with the City's budget, but from a business standpoint it would be preferable to go back to a calendar year basis which would reconcile itself with the business license which is January 1 to December 31. As Mr. Perry said, that.would mean either taking the present contract with an expiration date of June 3.0 and extending it 18 months or 6 months. As.I have expressed to the Chamber, my own preference would be a 6 month extension of the existing contract and then enter into a new contract on the calendar year basis. This would make more sense to all involved, I believe, and would certainly not involve the City Clerk in any additional billing. It isn't a money matter, it is a calendar matter.. Councilman Lloyd: I don't see any reason why that couldn't easily be done. We did get that fouled up. As'I recall we were short of time and had to work it out. Ms. Preston,`does that pose a hardship for you? City Clerk: No, that wouldn't affect us. Councilman Lloyd: Then I would be more than willing to lend my support for a 6 month extension. I don't know how the rest of the Council feels. . Councilman Browne: Mr. Mayor, I feel somewhat of the same way. For the sake of fiscal keeping records it would be a more feasible way to go. Councilman Chappell: Mr. .Mayor, if they come in with that recommendation I would be more than willing to extend the contract for 6 months and then start over again on January 1. No problem. It doesn't change our bookkeeping any and that would be the big hang up. - 6 - CITY COUNCIL ADJ. REG. MEETING Page Seven Advisory Board, Chamber of Commerce-, 3/18/74 Mr. Perry: If I might ask a question, Mr. -Mayor. Extending the existing contract would just require a resolution of Council to extend for 6 months? • Mr. Krieger: The contracting parties, the Chamber and the City, it would require that they agree to that extension. I don't believe the Advisory Board should make that recommendation to Council unless they are prepared to say that the Chamber as changed its by laws to go on a calendar year basis because that is the only reason for doing it. Mayor Shearer: Also it would have to be reviewed by our City Attorney to make sure that we are not doing something that might offend him. Mr. Krieger: Mr. Mayor, the City Attorney was very disposed, as I was, the first time, to go on a 18 month contract and that would have eliminated the problem but it didn't work out that way. Mr. Perry: Thank you. We will proceed accordingly and take the necessary steps we are required to take and then present it in a formal manner. One other item suggested for discussion was within the terms of the agreement it does call for four meetings a year. Would it meet the approval of all, or is there any desire that we hold this type of meeting at any given time? Councilman Lloyd: What did you have in mind? Mr. Perry: Let's say on a quarterly basis, such as March 30, June 30, September 30 or as close to that time as possible and possibly have the meetings prescheduled? Councilman Lloyd: I don't see any reason why that couldn't be done, I don't see that it would pose a problem for Council. The only thing I think of that might be a problem is the one in .January or the end of December, because that is a hectic time. Mayor Shearer: I would like to see them on a fairly regular routine basis, nothing that can't be flexible, plus any special meetings that might be needed. Mr. Perry: Originally we requested that the Council meet at their pleasure .and I believe we did suggest in our letter the end of March or thereabouts and our meeting today is a result of that. So if it doesn't make any difference we will keep pretty close to a quarterly basis and then meet on a special basis as it is ,. r.e qu i `r-.ed'• , '�... Mayor Shearer: Was there any other business that anyone wanted • to bring forth as far as the Advisory Committee? We thank you for coming in and giving us a pro- gress report. We have a few more items on the agenda - if you care to stay or leave? Councilman Chappell: One question. We still want to have this type of meeting rather than the formality at a regular Council meeting - I like this format much better because if we have something to discuss we can do so easier than it can be done with the sitting arrangement as it is at Council meetings. (Council and Committee members agreed) So we - 7 - CITY COUNCIL ADJ. REG. MEETING Advisory Board, Chamber of Commerce Page Eight 3/18/ 74 should not do it on a regularly scheduled Council meeting night but only on a regularly scheduled basis. I would also like to say it appears that there is a tremendous amount of things going on right now. We had hoped • that.when the Redevelopment Agency got off the ground it could be seen that these types of things could happen and I went out on that trip with Phil to the M-K Company and they are looking up here now and to me it is a really important time for the City and also a very hard working time for these gentlemen sitting here, who are not only conducting their own businesses but giving a lot of time and effort to these endeavors. I would like to commend them and hope they can continue without jeopardizing their business. It is a lot of hard work. Mr. Adams: I had a call recently from the property next door to All State, which is in escrow now, the buyer had heard of our Orange/Merced study and he called me to get a confirmation on what our economic study indicated for that area. He was very encouraged it agreed with their study and it confirmed his own findings that there was a shortage of office space and there was a need for it. I don't know what plans he had but I am sure there will be something happening there between Ail State and the channel. Mr..Wax: My only other comment is that we wear two hats, as Executive Committee basically on the business license thing and then as the Chamber board doing things in other areas, which seems to be over- looked somewhat. At one time we reported on the Chamber's work but at this stage we have been trying to separate the two on the basis . that we didn't want to have a tie saying the Chamber and this particular Committee - so I just wondered what process we are going to use to sit down and work out some of the problems as the Chamber and how we can work together towards programming some of it. Mr. Perry: I believe you have in mind many of'the projects we have within the Chamber and it doesn't necessarily go into a classification of business development but yet it has its spin off, it is something that is being done for a City but I don't think you could put it right in the category of business development directly but certainly indirectly anything done to benefit a City affects business development, retail trade promotion, etc. Let me take one item as an example, if I might. Which I think we discussed at great length the last time - the Fair Exhibit which the Chamber of Commerce has always taken on .as a Chamber Project but with part of the funds provided for_ by the City.. These .are things that do not really come in under anyone program but are constantly done by the Chamber, and that is only one of the many projects that the Chamber operates on. I might indicate too that we now have a Women's Division of the Chamber of Commerce and incidentally we have a very hard working group of ladies who I am sure will do a great many things for the -City. I think all of these things that we do affect all the other items that we discussed and they are all appropriate. I think that is one of things you were alluding to. • Mr..Wax: Yes, that is one, but my concern is as we keep operating as the Chamber getting involved in this other phase - the workload, etc., is just getting too heavy for Mr. Strachan and my concern is how do we pick up the difference in staffing and work it out budgetwise when we are operating under two budgets - one of the Chamber and the other is retail trade promotion, yet with the higher cost of inflation and doing business today it is making it almost impossible to run the Chamber office on a bare bones basis and still bring in - 8 - CITY COUNCIL ADJ. REG. MEETING Advisory Board, Chamber of Commerce Page Nine 3/18/ 74 the Women's Division, new programs and projects and still spend a lot of time on the retail end of it. So I feel that somewhere we have to figure out how to go about it.. Mayor Shearer: It would seem appropriate to me - although I • don't know about legalwise because I am not that familiar with it, but that some of the portion of the $80,OOO* or whatever the figure is, should be appropriately used to offset some of the salary of the Director and clerical staff, because after all they are performing functions in both areas. I really don't think there would be a legal problem there. •Mr. Krieger: It is presently being allocated between the administrative functions and the business surcharge. Commenting further, '.and this subject matter has come up on the Executive Committee level and on the Board level, and our first meeting several months ago was a trial process and there will be a lot of trial and error until this thing works and settles down. The Council is accustomed to wearing three different hats from time to time. You wear the hat of the Counci, and then you put on the Redevelopment hat and then the Parking Authority hat and I don't see any inconsistency with the Advisory Board meeting with the Council and wearing their Advisory Board hat and saying we.are taking the Advisory Board hat off and we are now the Executive Board of the Chamber. It is just a mechanical process. Mr. Perry: Mr. Mayor, to go right along with that comment, as the Advisory Board, if we feel our program should be expanded I feel this would be the • proper' -time to present that with our next year's new program. I think this would be part of our overall responsibility and if additional monies are required this would be our responsibility to make the presentation to Council and I think this is something we are considering but nothing concrete at this time, it wouldn't come before the Council until such time as we come up for a new con- tract. • Mayor Shearer: Thank you. Is there anything else? If not, we will continue on with our agenda. RESOLUTION NO.4950 The Mayor presented: ADOPTED "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WEST COVINA COMMENDING JOSEPH SULLIVAN„ FOR HIS OUTSTANDING SERVICES AS DEPUTY MARSHAL: IN THE CITY OF WEST COVINA MARSHAL'S OFFICE." Motion by Councilman Chappell, seconded by Councilman Browne and carried, to waive further reading of said Resolution.

COMMISSION LIAISON • ASPPOINTMENTS Mayor Shearer: I gave each of you a tentative schedule for the new appointments and I would like to have you look it over between now and the next .regular meeting and advise me if there is anything you would not like to be on or if you have a preference let me know. There is one time that perhaps does stand out. Mayor Pro tem Nichols asked that he not be designated due to his difficulty in getting to -the meetings. So I designated Councilman Chappell. Normally the Mayor Pro tem would be in that position. Councilman Chappell: Mr. Mayor, I do have one little problem. On the first Wednesday I have myself involved in some League meetings other than just the Thursday night meeting and it seems that quite frequently the first Wednesday of the month they call it, so I may miss that first meeting. Normally, we have an alternate and if we do perhaps at the times I have to miss that first Wednesday I could call the alternate and see if he can make it. Mayor Shearer: I did not designate an alternate. If you have a problem call me and I will handle it. EXPIRATION OF Mayor.iShearer: You also have a packet COMMISSIONERS AND given to you in regard BOARD MEMBERS to expiration of Commissioners and Board APPOINTMENTS members appointments, several in June. • I would like between now and the next few weeks for you to be considering that and we have in the packet letters and resumes of people who have in the past year or so written in requesting that their names be considered. I will call a short personnel session in just a minute to discuss one item. Is there anything else to come before the Council? Councilman Chappell: Yes, Mayor, I have just presented to each of you a letter. At the time this came about I was liaison to the Youth Advisory Commission and they asked me to present this letter to you. It is not up for discussion tonight, only presented to you to give you a chance to look it over and discuss at our next regular meeting. I am presenting that as my former responsibility of being liaison to the Youth Advisory Commission. Mayor Shearer: I was under the impression this was going to be presented at the next meeting but I am glad it arrived now. Technically terms do expire April 1 although there are provisions in the ordinance that say "until new members are appointed the members continue." So I would suggest between now and the next meeting that we read this report and be prepared on the 25th to take action with regard to the Youth Advisory Commission. • THE CHAIR RECESSED THE COUNCIL MEETING AT 4:48 P.M.
