HEARING: CORTEZ PARK SPECIFIC PLAN June 13, 1977.
The Mayor asked for cost estimates for
the total package under Alternate 1 and also the potential
sources of revenue for developing the park in accordance with
recommendation. Mr. Stevens advised it would take a few minutes
to compute the cost for the total package; the cost for an open
• passive area only would be $61,000; and potential sources of
revenue were Senate Bill 174 in which there is approximately
860p000 available yearly to the'City on a 3 year basis; also
monies available through the Park Fee Fund in which the
developer develops land adjacent to a park and the funds are then
made available for that park closest to the development; the State
Bond Act would not be available at this time because the Commission
and staff have recommended that it be used for the development of
Woodside. The Mayor asked if the recommendation is a practical one
with regard to funding and Mr. Stevens said "yes".
PUBLIC HEARING OPENED
IN FAVOR
Rbn Capitosto I am the player agent with the West Covina
946 Manzahita Soccer Club. We looked at the area in
West Covina Cortez Park for a possible soccer field
which at this time we do not have adequate
soccer facilities and we feel Cortez Park is not the area in which
we could be most suited to. We have seen other areas in Woodside
Village that are tobe developed which we would be more interested
in. We have attended many of the meetings as the plan was put
forward and it seems there are a lot of special interest groups,
from the Little League to elderly groups. But it seems to me the
,City has put a lot of work and effort into it and not'.looking at
• any special interest groups it appears to me that they have put a
plan forward- that the city needs and one that can be utilized by
all facets of the community.
IN OPPOSITION
Mrs. Trouncegard I am here on a different matter but in
1334 W. Street listening to this I think if $61,000 is
West Covina not even the total amount of what it'
would cost to develop this park I think
you have a better place to put that.amount of money and that is
in the Police Department.
John Rushing I am President of the West Covina American
642 South Charvers° Little League and opposed to the specific
West Covina plan of a quiet passive area with picnic
facilities. I might remind everyone that
this 3.3 acres has been a passive area for 22 years and I do not
feel the proposed development is,i;n the best interests of the
total community. Regardless of how the Department sees Cortez
Park it is an activity oriented park, fully used throughout the
year, especially from February through July with Little League
followed by football and softball through November, not counting
all of the outside groups that come in during the course of the
total year. (Spoke of the need of a larger regulation ballfield
and offered the volunteer services of members of the Little League
re grading the hill and drainage supplies and equipment without
cost to the city and putting that up against the figures rapidly
computed of City cost the cost to the City would be little or
nothing as compared to a cost by the City of approximately
$33B4O00.)
CITY COUNCIL Page Seven
HEARING: Cortez Park Specific Plan June 13, 1977.
REBUTTAL
Irene Colossal (Represents the Senior Citizens;
1227 So. California Ave., approved of the plan; felt everyone
West Covina would benefit — youth and seniors.
• Pointed out there is a 300 year old
oak tree at.the park that should also be considered; that the
school enrollment is declining which would eliminate the need for
more ballfields and the senior citizens are multiplying especially
when you consider the fact senior age is dropping to 50 and 45.)
Staff presented their computed
figure for Alternate 1 including Tennis courts, bocci ball, etc.,
$305,000; the undeveloped 3.3 acres at a cost of $61,000; to
undertake construction of the ballfield approximately $175,000;
and in addition to that there would be an additional cost of
$244,000 to undertake the tennis courts, bocci ball, etc.;
assuming the League did the ballfield;the City's cost beyond the
$244,000 is $61,000 of which some of the monies would be available
through the CDA funding. The Mayor asked of the $305,000 how much
is already committed for and staff advised approximately 50%.
And of the $244,000 under Alternate 4 how much of that is yet un—
funded and staff, advised approximately $100,000. The figures
included lighting but not for the ballfield.
Mr. Fast advised in accordance
with the procedure called for in the General Plan these Specific
Plans will be coming to Council for -each park for adoption.
Staff does not anticipate that weccan this year or next year
predict where all the funding will be coming from -for'-.,all that is
needed in all the parks upon total approval, but staff is
• desirous of doing this in meeting the requirements of the law
in having specific plans adopted and to have a precise guide
for the Recreation & Parks Commission, City Council and staff,
as to the total development needed. And as legislation changes,
new funds become available and some funds disappear, staff wants
to be able to vary the total needs of the city and assess which
parks will year by year be getting priority allocation of funding.
Staff does not indicate by bringing the first Specific Plan to
you that the Council should or must totally fund the improvements
within this plan at.this time.
Mr. Fast further advised that
Staff will be presenting comprehensive reports re needs in the
parks for the entire City during the joint meeting with the
Recreation and Pais Commission and at that time will be pre—
senting cost figures and assessing where the funds will be coming
from. And with respect to this Specific Plan the issue has turned
into the alternative weighing on one segment of the park as opposed
to the consideration of the Specific Plan as a whole.
(Council discussed the possibility of the use of the Ridge Rider's
ballfield and other ballfields.) (The Mayor, with Council per—
mission, then asked Mr. Rushing if he wished to testify further
in regard to the cost figures presented by staff.) (Mr. Rushing
did so, questioning staff on several points.)
• Mr. Henry, President (Stated he supported the Cortez
W.C. Youth Soccer Plan as presented; he respected.
Organization Mr. Rushing's feelings for what he
has said but thought he was over—
looking one fact: he mentioned the use of the proposed ballfield
would double, 96 boys would be using the field, whereas the plan
presented by staff would accommodate the entire City — whoever
wants to use it and whenever? they want to use it. Also pointed

HEARING: Cortez Park Specific Plan June 13, 1977
out that although the grading and piping
is offered without charge to the City perhaps -,'as in so many
cases it might not become available and it would just be support—
ing a small area of the community.)
PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED. THE MAYOR CALLED A RECESS AT 9:05 P.M.
• COUNCIL RECONVENED AT 9:10 P.M.
Councilman Chappell stated Sunset School
is in the process of negotiations andin that property is a
full baseball diamond. He felt this matter should be held in
abeyance until the Sunset School issue was settled. Staff advised
in answer to Council questioning that Cortez Specific Plan was a
top priority item at this time because of the available funds of
approximately'$140,000 earmarked for Cortez. Councilman Browne
pointed out the aesthetic values of Cortez Park and the various
organizations that have provided tree plantings for this park for
many years; his feeling was that Council should make a decision
tonight to approve the Specific Plan of Design, and that it was
a plan that could be changed or modified. Councilman Tice asked
if there was a deadline on the approval of this with regard to
the funds available and Mr. Salazar said the funds have been
allocated to the City and the expenditure of funds for this year
iscontingent upon having a Master Plan which includes Cortez,
Del Norte and Palmview Parks. After some further discussion
Council members felt the Staff recommendation would cover the
greatest amount of people.
Motion by Browne to adopt and approve
the Specific Plan of Design of Cortez Park as recommended by
the Recreation and Parks Commission; seconded by Tice and carried
on roll call vote:

Mrs. Jackson I would like to refer to'Resolution 5462
West Covina adopted at your last meeting. (Read
from resolution re off street parking for
the handicapped; asked how many off street
parking spaces for handicapped were available in the City and was
advised Staff would have to make a survey in order to get this
information.) We have counted under 10. (Then referred to
Res. No. 5461, Section 1 and asked how will the owners and
operators of buildings be notified and,tfe City Manager advised
still will correspond with the owners and advise them of this re—

The Mayor suggested that one of the most
effective ways of'getting merchants to really do the typos of
things this resolution provides for is for citizens such as
Mrs. Jackson and her group to bring the pressure upon them to
comply. This is a voluntary ieouoand must be under the provi—
sions the Vehicle Code — this is not something the City
oan roquiro`of'the merchants.
Mrs. Jackson:
merchants to fall back
Mayor Shearer:
We haVd run into some very difficult
situations.,-- a resolution like this
leaves too many loopholes open for the
om° (Explained in further detail)
' as much as the State law
You may very well be'oorrgct but in our
State we are bound at the city level as to
what we can do and I believe we have done
will allow.
' (Councilman Tice pointed out the merchant
who doesn't comply or cooperate may be somewhat shortsighted in
the long run; the Mayor said the resolution has only been in effect
two or three —weeks and in time it ma produce goodresults.)\

The Mayor said the matter of more patrol

forthooming'budoet sessions; the' Traffic Committee would lookinto
the request for parking restrictions.

Dick Glazer (Reported there is no designation sign

could make a citizen's arrest and in that oaoo a mltnooa to the

COUNCILMEN's REPORTS/COMMENTS June 13, 1977
Councilman Chappell: At the last League of California
Cities meeting, L.A. Division,
Charles Storing was reelected as our
corridor representative to RTD. And the county area was shot
down for the present but the League is putting together a new
package and Will try and run with it again.
_:Councilman Browne: I will also state I have full intent
of filing for reelection for City
Council. (Asked about.the anti—graffitti
group and how they are proceeding and was advised they are in
the process of pulling together,:the,:hece.ss.ary;,information.rd.:•
suppliers,',;;of.:-,p'aint ,:materials and equipment and it is hoped
within 30 days the procedures.will be formalized and imple—
mented. City crews are spending an average of a day and a half
now with city equipment on sandblasting and eradicating
graffitti on public property.)
Councilman Tice: I heard over the radio that the Fed:er.al
Government is taking a very firm stand
in telling cities what they must do
in the way of low cost housing, this substantiates what I found
out when in Sacramento where the State wants to step in and
tell cities where and how much low cost housing they must put
in. I object to this and if Council agrees would ask that
we drop a line to our congressmen, our.State Assembly
emphasizing our feelings on this issue. (Council members
agreed)
and.carried.
So moved by Tice; seconded.by Browne
(The Mayor asked.the City Manager to
have staff research the specific pieces of legislation that
Council can address themselves to, both federal and state).
