ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
Robert Tafoya Robert Tafoya, 2214 Calle Jalapa, felt there was a stall at the
Planning Commission level to address the wild animal ordinance
and reviewed the history of the `Moe the Chimp" issue and the
situations in the neighborhood.
Lollie Bergman Lollie Bergman, 847 Wescove Place, addressed the "Moe the
Chimp" issue. She felt that there hasn't been equal enforcement of
the City's ordinances in that neighborhood and asked about the
total cost the City has incurred because of this particular issue.
Royal Brown Royal Brown, 2153 Aroma Drive, reminded everyone of the BKK
hearing scheduled for September 12u' at 7:00 pm in the City Hall
Council Chambers.
Michele Cosner Michele Cosner, 621 N. Maplewood, felt the City needed to move
forward with the wild animal ordinance. The "Moe the Chimp"
situation has been and continues to be very disruptive to the neigh-
borhood.
Brian Cosner Brian Cosner, 621 N. Maplewood, read a letter dated March 21,
2000, authored by Mayor Herfert and stating his opinion that the
chimpanzee will not return to the City of West Covina.
Linda Gavin Linda Gavin, 1023 E. Eckerman Avenue, read several code
sections from the government code, vehicle code, and municipal
code that are being violated in the neighborhood supporting
"Moe's" owners. She urged the City to adopt the wild animal
ordinance right away. She stated that she holds the City
responsible for the stress and strain the whole issue has caused.
Stanley Gavin Stanley Gavin, 1023 E. Eckerman Avenue, felt the wild animal
ordinance should be passed as soon as possible and to disregard the
proposed Conditional Use Permit. He wanted Council to "Give
Vincent Street back to the residents."
John Utterback John Utterback, 622 N. Vincent Avenue, urged Council to move
ahead with the adoption of the wild animal ordinance as soon as
possible.
Gus Salazar Gus Salazar, Upland, discussed an incident twenty years ago when
"Moe" jumped his wife and bit her arm. He and his wife sued with
the intention of getting "Moe" out of the City as a dangerous
• animal. At the time, warrants could not served because the owners
and the chimpanzee appeared to have moved away. Consequently,
the Salazars dropped the case because their goal had been satisfied.
Carmen Salazar Carmen Salazar, Upland, recounted the incident twenty-three years
ago when "Moe" bit her upper arm.

working relationship he has with the City of West Covina.

the wild animal ordinance, currently stuck at the Planning Com-
mission. She stated that her family has been harassed by "Moe's'
owners, her neighbors.
Jerry Whippie Jerry Whippie, 1048 E. Eckerman, asked for a quick resolution of
the `Moe the Chimp" issue because of the disruption to the neigh-
borhood and urged Council to approve the wild animal ordinance.
Anthony Fairchild Anthony Fairchild, 2505 E. Thackery Street, stated that neighbors
in his area wish to have their neighborhood included in the Covina
School District, rather than the West Covina Unified School
District.
Mayor Herfert stated that the City Council is quite willing
to listen about their wishes, but unfortunately, the audience they
seek is the School District and urged them to begin with the Board
of Trustees of the Covina Valley Unified School District..

topic as above, noting they would like their children to attend

down model of the proposed development. He lives directly across
the street from the proposed street to the five homes. He also pre-
