Mr. Wakefield: These -proceedings were initiated pur—

It would be reasonable to require a condition th'a-t the petitioner.

AWARD OF BIDS 12/12/77
Browne noted out of 12 bid notices
sent only one bid was returned; asked what type of list was used.
Staff advised a bid list is formulated from prior bidders and this
is used along with advertising in trade journals; the problem in
this case is they could not meet the new EPA noise standards which
go into effect on January 1, 1978; at present only one piece of
equipment is manufactured that can meet .the standard and that is
why there is only one bidder.
Councilman Browne: Mr. . Mayor , unless this is an
emergency item I think we should
redirect requests for bids or go
direct to the manufacturers — I think it is wrong to accept one
bid and knowing a little bit about this business I think this is
a pretty high price to pay for a compressor.

Lotion by Browne to refer this item
back to staff; seconded by Tice and carried.
-.BID NO. 78-122 Browne noted in this case only 3
;:EMERGENCY GENERATORS FOR bid requests were sent out and 2
FIRE STATIONS bids received; Mr. Eliot explained
the Fire Department provided the
three names and it was also advertised in trade journals. Council
determined this was not an emergency matter and it could be delayed
hoping to get more bidders; Browne felt the City could do better on
price. City Manager explained the City's approach to calling for
bids. Shearer suggested the City might use larger organizations
such as the County and the State in the procuring of names to
direct bid requests to. Browne felt City Council should set up
the basic requirements for the securing of bids, each department
should be charged to keep an uptodate list of bidders on whatever
item they need9 advertising should be done in trade journals; the
County and State should be approached as suggested by Shearer;
Council members agreed and directed Staff to note Council
comments.
Motion by Chappell to awar-.'d`,.Bid

PUBLIC HEARING OPENED
• Nancy Manners The remark was made by Staff that
West Covina this plan was done by Owen Menard
& Associates and I just wondered
why they are not here to present the plan? Or isn't it usual
for the consultant to come and present it?
H. Fast: Owen Menard & Associates was.the
firm utilized to conduct the
community survey, to go through the
preliminary hearings with the Planning Commission and some work—
shop sessions with City Council. Once they submitted their basic
findings based upon the element of their participation on the plan
itself and the scope of their contract with the city that -terminat—
ed their responsibilities. under the contract and city staff in
utilizing their basic raw data then prepared the EIR and the basic
document that you see before you now.
Phyllis Wittenberg - (Read letter enumerating their
League of Women Voters questions estions and asked for a written
East San Gabriel Valley reply to same. Copies of letter
presented to Cit� Council. Copy
attached hereto.
HEARING CLOSED. COUNCIL DISCUSSION.
• Mayor Shearer: There were a nu ' mber of questions
raised in the letter from the
from the League of Women Voters.
Their request is that staff prepare a written response to the
questions; howevery during -our ensuing discussions this evening
some of those concerns may be addressed or some of the questions
may be directed to staff on the part of Council. (Mr. Diaz
asked to answer the questions regarding the EIR)
CITY COUNCIL .Page Seven
HEARING: General Plan 12/12/77
Mr. Diaz: Mr. Mayor and members of Council,
with regard to the Open Space cate—
gories -listed in the Environmental
Quality Element and those listed within the Municipal Code: the
uses that are permitted within the Open Space area include
Agricultural, cemeteries, country clubs, olf courses, parks,
• stables, schools (both public and private, sbenic highways,
wildlife preserves, as a matter of right. With an unclassified
use permit: amusement parks, circuses, m n atur.e�golf LcoursesI
mining, open air theatreq public utilities, recreation centers,
and landfills. At this point it is important to note.the
difference between the Open Space categories that are set forth
within the State guidelines which indicate a type',of Open Space —
open space for recreation, open space for passive recreational
use, open space land uses as set forth in the open space zoning
or-dinance of the General Plan. The Open Space Zoning Ordinance
of:.:the. General Plan is consistent with the Environmental Quality
Element of the General Plan.
The question regarding whether or
not the State has examined the plan: Fifteen copies of the
General Plan and the Environmental Impact Report were sent to the
State for a 45 day examination period. Only one Department
replied and that was the Department of Fish and Game and the Staff
response to their comments are indicated. So, yes, the State of
California has examined this particular General Plan you have
before you. The State of California also examined the Environ—
mental Quality Element in 1975 and at that time only one State
Department out of the fifteen consulted replied and that was the
Department relating to Air Quality.
• With regards to the other portion,
the revised Hillside Overlay Zoning, our ordinance is consistent
with the Environmental Quality Element intent and purpose; the
proposed deletion of the 583 acre hillside site as a park
facility would be an amendment to the Environmental Quality
Element, as I indicated in my staff report this evening as well as
at the public hearing held before the Planning Commission on
November 2.
With regard to other addendums
on the General Plan proposed in November, there are no other
addendums besides those that were presented to the Planning
Commission at both public hearings and at the open study session.
With regard to the new Hillside
Overlay -.Zone being consistent with the Environmental Quality
Element, the consistency is there and I have so indicated.
The pressures to increase development in the San Jose Hills —
this was examined as part of the Environmental Impact Report
concerning the proposed Hillside Overlay revisions under the
Growth Inducing Impacts.
In terms of the recreation poli—
cies listed on Page 117 of the proposed General Plan, those
recreation policies are still policies, they still stand and
• will be implementedt0r_a,nd the new Hillside Overlay assists us
in obtaining the development of that park on Cameron Avenue
which was purchased as a result of the policies adopted by this
Council in the Environmental Quality Element.

HEARING: General Plan — EIR
Pa e Eight
12�12/77
With regard to the Skyline Riding and
Hiking Trail — it has not been deleted from the General Plan, it is
in the Environmental Quality Element. It was not shown in this plan
because it is a county riding and hiking trail; however, city riding
and hiking trails have been shown on this plan to connect with
Skyline and in addition the East Hills Specific Plan will show those
trails. As Council will recall, at the time the County was going
to implement that trail along Holt Avenue, you had before you an
area that would be designated for that trail and it has been adopted.
With regard to the City Regional Park
on the landfill site, this is a change of policy direction. Staff
has recommended and would continue to recommend the need for the
City to acquire a long term liability of a city park on that
site weighed against the benefits of improving our current
recreational uses through special taxation and business license
fees; is a better alternative. The Hillside protection area is no
longer designated, it is designated within the zoning ordinance
and in the General Plan in terms of the densities allowed. The
recreational corridors are shown, the bikeways and trails are on
existing streets because the ability to put the type of bike trail
which is a separate trail away from the city streets is impossible
in the City of West Covina. The bikeways and trails shown in this
plan are consistent with the inner city bike0ay plan adopted by
this Council.
With regard to the Enviro"nmental
Impact statement requiring additional comment because of the
change in.the landfill site — staff does not believe this is
necessary. The designation is still the same — Open Space.
I believe that would conclude a
reply to the comments raised this evening with I regard to the
General Plan. With regard to the.issue of notices having gone
out, we had two public hearings before�the Plannifn'g -Co*mmissi6n.in addition
to an open study session with quite a bit .'- 0 f pre , ss coverage.
The process we followed has been over a 212 year period. Copies
of the plan were sent to adjacent jurisdictions including the
County of Los Angeles. In terms of the County of'Los Angeles's
plan they were also given a copy of our.plan. At the present
time the County of Los Angeles anticipate that their preliminary
draft of their plan will be completed sometime.in January, at
which time they will have 6 weeks of hearings after which they
will begin hearings before the Planning Commission and the Board
of Supervisors. So for us to wait for the County to complete
their plan it would necessitate uswaiting-_, as much as 879 months
before adopting this plan and staff does not believe it is
warranted at this time.
Councilman Browne: Mr. Mayor, a comment. The State I
Attorney General was instructed
to notify all county/city
agencies that had not submitted their plans that they would be
liable for legal action, so we in turn applied for an extension
of time,, which we were granted. What is the deadline on that
date?
Mr. Diaz:
Councilman Browne:
this.
I am not certain, perhaps the
City Attorney can advise, but we
are long past it.
My reason for determining this is
to reply to the League of Women
Voters request for holding off on

HEARING: General Plan - EIR 12/12/77
Mr. Wakefield: Mt. -Mayor and members of -Council,
the elements to which you have re-
ference were set for completion by
December 31, 1976. The City did meet those deadlines with
respect to the Housing Element, the Air Quality Element, the
Siesmic Element and the like; so we have met the deadlines
estabiished by the State thus far. What is involved here is
primarily a revision and updating of the portions of the General
Plan which specifically relate to the planned use and circulation
elements, and the mandatory elements which also are required are
really incorporated in this General Plan by reference, so there
is'no basic change in any of the adopted elements.
(Browne asked Mr. Diaz, for clarification to explain in detail,
the City's policy on Specific Plans in given areas which will
allow the city to update at anytime and at the same time informa-
tion as to'how many times we can update or change the General
Plan in a given time.)
Mr. Diaz: Each item of the General Plan can
be amended three times a year.
The City's policy with regard to
Specific Plans with the adoption of this plan is that the
Specific Plan areas as designated would have a Specific Plan.
In terms of how staff goes about getting those Specific Plans
the City's policy is: That we have extensive citizen parti-
cipation; that the Specific Plan utilize the General Plan as
its underlying foundation; and then go into that'Specific Area
much as looking through a microscope - in greater detail.
The Specific Plans can also be amended and I don't believe there
is any limitations on the number of times they can be amended.
Councilman Browne: The process you use does enable
citizens in the community to
participate over and beyond that
in which a public hearing would be held to ultimately approve
or resolve any problems in existence....
Mr. Diaz: Yes. For example, in the East
Hills Open Space Plan we plan to
have also an open study session
before we go to the Commission with it. In fact -we have had
about two open meetings a month for a period`'of 6-`7 months and
we will have not completed it yet - we have one more meeting
to go.
Councilman Browne: So in essence some of the concerns
related here with the County and
the City of Walnut and adjacent
Pommunities that.might touch on borders within the Hillside
areas at such time as they finish their General'Plans there is
still a possibility of a further need of amending theirs and
ours to make a coincidental horse trail*,.bikeway0 or whatever
may be involved. (Mr. Diaz answered that is correct.) But to
ithis day we have not seen a Specific Plan for the Skyline Trail
or -any other?
Mr. Diaz: My understanding on.the Skyline
Trail is that a decision is yet-::
to be made as to whether it will
go over Buzzard .pea-k. or come down and hook onto Holt. From
the standpoint of the City's cooperation we have already
designated that Holt portion and that is being put through now.
CITY COUNCIL Page Ten
HEARING: General Plan 12/12/77
Councilman Browne: And as a further example, we do have
some areas adjacent in the Hillside
area which consideration for annexa—
tion could be given to West Covina -and at that time we would have
a precise control over the designation of those bikeways, trails,
• etc. And also in the eptablishment of such trails there is always
a liability factor — on whose back would that lie on?
Mr. Diaz: That would,lie on the City if they
choose to provide the easements
provided in the Hillside Overlay Zone.
The easements are there and the City can choose to utilize or not
utilize them and if they do the liability would be ours. I might
also indicate that the Skyline Trail does not go through the 600
acres in the East Hills area.
(Chappell commented one of the good features about the County
General Plan is that City Staff is .working very closely with them
in regard to what we have been doing.)
Mayor Shearer: I have several comments and some
may answer the questions raised
specifically with B.K.K. I think
that anyone who presumes that because'(assuming the Council does
or does not approve the proposed plan this evening) it means
there will never be a golf course, there will never be some sort
of recreation in the form of stables or whatever in the area, is
a wrong assumption. Council decided sometime ago that it was pre—
ferable rather than require the ultimate dedication of that pro—
perty to the city with the tremendous liability of doing something
with it — when you think about developing some 500+ acres the cost
• involved is tremendous. Tonight we adopted a precise plan for a
park in Woodside Village of 17 acres and the price tag on that is
two million plus. So Council decided it would be better if we
could --realize some immediate benefits for the citizens of our
community through the implementation of a rather substantial
business license (I believe we are getting a minimum of $150,000
up based on the volume of business).
The letter asked specifically for
some examples of what it is being used'for and one is the park.
Council by policy has indicated that we want the money from the
landfill to be concentrated in the area that perhaps is most
affected by the landfill site. The development of the park (not
the building) will be funded from that source. Once that is
developed and on its way then the Council will make other decisions
as to how that money will be used.
A question was raised with regard to
the City's policy as to when implementation would take place. I
think that question could be raised with regard to any implementa—
tion step in the General Plan. At such time it specifically
becomes a decision to implement then all the factors including
liability would have to be taken into consideration. Implementa—
tion depends on the availability of funds.
• I don't see any point :in delaying
the adoption to get additional citizen input. I think that is
admirable in its intent but in reality we would probably get very
little additional citizen input. And as pointed out we can amend
if at anytime we find we have overlooked something.
My last comment is I would like
staff to respond in writing as requested to the questions and

HEARING: General Plan

and comments contained in the letter from the League of Women
Voters.
Councilman Browne: Mr. Mayor, I had many concerns
involving the Hillside area in
. relation to development, open
space, supplying the necessary utilities, backbone feeder
systems for water, electricity, etc. I voted against the
revision to the Hillside Overlay Ordinance previously
because of that. I had seen three tentative plans come in for
development in the hills, some of it based on annexation of
county territory into the City which would give us jurisdiction
of that particular portion. I felt that staff did their best
in trying to come up with a revision and my four colleagues here
voted to allow the Hillside Overlay to take precedent over the
existing ordinance.
I am still concerned about
proper development in the hillside area. I am most concerned
about the ability to supply water. I have been assured that
this would be the pre —requisite of any development that would
take place there but I have been a victim in the past of
.promises and I have waited 11 years for the proper water system
in a given area in the hills and there are others also subjected
to it in the South Hills area, especially where they are building
houses higher than the 800' elevation. Maybe the City will be in
a position to supply water on the other side of the hills but I
don't think they will be on this side. .
Ir�am forced tonight to accept the
General Plan with the exception of those factors I am disturbed
• with in the Hillside Areas. I have not 'seen written in the
total assurances of the things needed up there to give the
amenities to maintain the hillsides. One Councilman speaks to
clustering type development and I doubt that would preserve the
hillside area because of the specific terrain in there.
Until such time as I see a Specific
Plan for development, not a tentative plan, I don't think I would
approve anything going into the hills until I was totally assured
that we had the back up, the feeder, to provide the proper service
and maintain the proper open space.
Councilman Miller:

Councilman Tice: Mr. Mayor, with regard to Council—

water situation, this is a very
valid concern. I based my approval of the Hillside Overlay
Ordinance on the fact that we would have the last say as to the
• adequacy of any water supply up there. I am assuming our
Engineering.Department will do a good job in making that
determination that they will have a consistent water supply,
not spasmodically as is up in the hills now.

West Covina and at that time he assured me that we had that
power. Can we hear that again, because I seem to hear from
Councilman Browne he doesn't believe we can do that and if we
can't I want to know about it.
Councilman Browne: Let me state my reasons. We had a
water system in two years before I
built but we didn't have water.
Having a water system and having water are two different things.
Water in the line with adequate pressure is what should be clari—
fied.
Mr. Wakefield: Mr. Mayor and Council, I think
there is no question about the
power of the Planning Commission
and the City Council to require as a condition to the development
of land in the hillside overlay area that not only water but other
types of utility services be available. In the sense that
Councilman Browne says, water in the lines and water in the
reservoirs be adequate to supply water before the development is
approved and that it be written into the individual development
as proposed within the Hillside Overlay zone. The Hillside
Overlay Zone as modified specifically requires that there be water
and other utilities available at the time of development.
Councilman Browne:

let's do it right the first time.
Mayor Shearer: It would seem to me that perhaps
our course would be to propose an
ordinance change in our Hillside
Overlay Ordinance separate and apart from the.General Plan and
that change would be along the lines Councilman Browne is saying the -specific requirements of X lb.s. minimum throughout the area.
This is of mutual concern to all, some of us felt it was ade—
quately addressed and perhaps it is if the intent of the present
Council is carried out in the future, but there is no guarantee
that this Council's'intent.will be carried out either by this
. Council or another Council.
Councilman Browne: There is also another given fact -
you have your. -safety service that
requires so many feet of water be
supplied for fire fighting purposes — I would hope the Fire
Department would be on their toes to be alerted to this factor
also.

Kathy Jones I would like to ask some questions
1428 Sandy Ave., about some things I have observed
West Covina while driving around West Covina
concerning traffic and traffic
signs. On Vincent Avenue going north, right near the -.Home Savings
& Loan building, the freeway onramp, going east, the first lane to
the right used to be the only lane you could turn into to the free-
way. Recently I observed the next lane to it you can turn right
and this is confusing and could cause an accident.
(Staff advised it has been strip?edt:
in that manner since shortly prior to the freeway completion
widening.)
A similar situation is at Sunset
Place (explained).
(The Mayor advised that problem
will be taken care of shortly because Council approved a con-
tract tonight to revise that whole area)
On Garvey as it meets West Covina
Parkway there is, I believe, cutouts on the corners for the
handicapped. I noticed one day a family coming from K-Mart
having a problem in crossing there (explained).
(Staff advised the island was
purposely extended by the State to prevent wrong way freeway
onramp movements. All of the islands were.extended shortly
after an accident attributable to that type of movement.
Staff attempted during the construction phase to have an area
left open within the crosswalk limitation for handicap access or
strollers or whatever and the State at that time refused to
grant that opening so the crosswalk is totally blocked by that
island. The Mayor pointed out it is now within the jurisdiction
of the City. City Engineer agreed but thought it would still be
necessary to get the concurrence of the State in order to change
it. The City Manager stated staff would give it a try again with
the State.)
A question. I know traffic is
working on revising Sunset Place area,,but the parking area near
the Bank of America - has that come up yet? That is terrible
especially at Christmas time.

SUA REPORT and (Mr.Howard Geisler, representative
PRESENTATION from S.U.A. presented the final
(City Yard) report on the study for the site
location of the Public Service Yard.
Explained -in detail the process
followed in making an analysis of the factors involved to the
• ultimate recommendati0g.that the present Public Services Yard be
continued as its yard. With a further recommendation that the
City should plan for a -change in the layout of buildings. This
work can be done in a phased manner.)
Chappell asked if consideration had
been given to the fact Sunset School site might be developed — the
reality of that land being utilized in the development of that
site? The consultant stated we operated on the assumption of any
development on the Sunset School Site being restricted to that
particular site and not moved on to the yard site. In essence we
looked at it the other way around = we looked at the implications
of maintaining a yard and on any other types of uses that may
occur on the Sunset Site and it was our feeling with proper
screening and the fact the yard operation is relatively dust
free and of a low noise level that it could be a good neighbor to
any use placed on that site.
Motion by Tice to approve the
findings of the consultant in the City Yard Site Location
Analysis Report; seconded,by Miller and carriad:

record be kept on file in case Sunset School becomes a reality.)
