AYES: Herfert, Miller, Sanderson, Wong, Touhey NOES: None ABSTAIN: Wong re: Resolution No. 2002-34 (MD #7) due to conflict of interest laws as he resides in that maintenance district. Consent Calendar Items Taken Separately: Item C-2a In relation to item C-2a (Ordinance for Adoption — Campaign Contribution Reporting Requirements) City Attorney Alvarez- Glasman presented an overview of the additional reporting obligations proposed by Mayor Touhey. Nancy Manners Nancy Manners, former Mayor of West Covina, described the pro- posed ordinance as an "incumbent protection plan," a disingenuous call for "full disclosure" of campaign contributions. She explained why. She also spoke favorably of the ordinance proposed by Councilmember Miller, scheduled later on the agenda. John Hughes John Hughes, 129 Poxon Place, stated that he has contributed to past and current Councilmembers. However, if this ordinance becomes City law, he would have second thoughts about contribut- ing to campaigns in the future, as there could be residual animosity. He felt these additional disclosure requirements are wrong. Corey Warshaw Corey Warshaw, 3330 E. Holt Avenue, stated that the FPPC provides for unanimity as long as an individual makes a contri- bution to a candidate of $99 or less. There are a variety of reasons why contributors would like to remain anonymous. He discussed contributions from large contributors, which is a lot easier for 6 Council Minutes of 4/2/02 incumbents than for contenders. He supported the ordinance pro- posed by Councilmember Miller wherein Councilmembers would recluse themselves from voting on issues in which campaign con- tributions were received at $500 or more. Local elections are for the people of the community, not big business. . Bruce Lienbach Bruce Leinbach, 1308 Sandy Hill Drive, disagreed with the position being taken on this issue by Mayor Touhey and Council - member Herfert. He noted how difficult it is at the present time to write checks, now that banking can be done via the internet. This ordinance inhibits the "small guy." Audrey Lynberg Audrey Lynberg, 1311 Golden Vista Drive, explained why the rule of the check really complicates matters, more than what's necessary. She also explained various reasons why individuals would not want their names divulged, and she discouraged the adoption of this particular ordinance. Council Discussion Councilmember Miller analyzed Council campaigns for the year 2001 and shared those statistics. He said it was more difficult for a challenger to raise funds than an incumbent, and would naturally begin with a grassroots effort rather than approaching businesses. He hoped Council would back away from this ordinance and understand how wrong it is. Councilmember Sanderson said she supports this "full disclosure" ordinance and explained why. What would stop a developer from contributing fifty $99 contributions and not disclosing their name? How can that be controlled? That is why the proposed ordinance is good. There are other ways for individuals to contribute and help on a campaign without donating money: telephone banks, mailing literature. Councilmember Wong is really concerned about the impact of this ordinance on potential contributors, just as explained by John Hughes. This ordinance will scare people from donating if they would rather not have their name reported publicly. Councilmember Herfert stated that from his viewpoint, the issue is that a candidate has raised $6500 in non -reportable funds in six months. Further, without this ordinance, you would probably see another $7000 in non -reportable winds for the next six-month filing period. Philosophically, he disagreed with the idea that con- tributors could hide behind a $99 check. He did not believe that individuals are going to stop contributing to campaigns because their name must be reported. Mayor Touhey explained that one-third of his campaign money is a loan from himself to his campaign account. A lot of his funds have been given to charities, such as little league teams. He also noted that state law requires that all money must be recorded, not necessarily reported. • City Clerk Berry presented: Ordinance 2081 - ORDINANCE NO. 2081 — AN ORDINANCE OF THE campaign reporting law CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WEST COVINA, CALI- FORNIA, REVISING AND AMENDING THE WEST COVINA MUNICIPAL CODE AS IT RELATES TO CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION REPORTING REQUIREMENTS Motion by Herfert and seconded by Sanderson to waive further reading of the ordinance and to adopt.

David McIntosh David McIntosh, 1149 Meadow Wood Drive, Covina, stated that he represented fifteen families in his area and urged Council to approve the staff recommendation. Abdollah Ansari Abdollah Ansari, Transportation Planning Manager for MTA, stated that he was available to answer questions or give a presentation, if necessary, about the project. Council didn't feel it necessary to receive a presentation. Acting Public Works Director Yauchzee noted that Mr. and Mrs. McIntosh (above speaker) had faxed a letter this same day to the City in support of the sound wall. The letter was distributed to Council this evening. Action on Item C-5b Motion by Herfert and seconded by Miller to approve the staff recommendation for Item C-5b. Motion carried 5-0. Item C-5a In relation to Item C-5a (Street Cut Moratorium — Ordinance Introduction), Councilmember Herfert asked the City Attorney if there would be a problem if he were to participate on this issue. The City Attorney responded in the negative. Action on Item C-5a Motion by Herfert and seconded by Miller to waive further reading of the ordinance and introduce. Motion carried 5-0. Item C-5f In relation to Item C-5f (Cable Television Resolution of Intention to Adopt Federal Customer Service Standards), City Manager Pasmant presented the staff report. The date for a public hearing on this matter would be May 7, 2002. Councilmember Herfert commented on a letter distributed by Charter Communications to its customers regarding the cable boxes which he felt was misleading in its information. He felt a closed session would be appropriate to discuss this and he encouraged citizens to call City Hall with complaints. Councilmember Wong inquired about contacting Charter on a goodwill basis to see if they could follow up with their customers and righting a wrong, if the customer purchased some- thing they need have. Action on Item C-5f City Clerk Berry presented the heading of Resolution No. 2002-39. Motion by Miller and seconded by Herfert to adopt the recommended resolution and setting a public hearing date of May 7. 2002. Motion carried 5-0. Recess Mayor Touhey called a recess at 9:40 pm.

MAYOR'S REPORT ANNUAL APPOINTMENTS OF COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVES TO OTHER AGENCIES Council reviewed the staff report. Mayor Touhey asked the Councilmembers to contact him in the next couple of weeks with their appointment preferences. COUNCILMEMBERS' REPORTS Councilmember Miller — Camaaian Contribution Conflict of Interest Ordinance Councilmember Miller elaborated on the ordinance proposed for adoption. John Scheuplein John Scheuplein, 1800 Aroma Drive 9247, noted his general dislike for campaign reform and felt the proposed ordinance by Councilmember Miller was a knee-jerk reaction to Mayor Touhey's ordinance imposing stricter campaign contribution reporting requirements than those already stipulated by state law. Councilmember Sanderson wondered if other cities have imposed similar ordinances and City Attorney noted the cities of Berkley and Los Angeles. Mayor Touhey expressed his thoughts opposing the ordinance and felt the ordinance read like Proposition 28, which was found to be unconstitutional afterwards. Councilmember Wong clarified that this ordinance does not infringe on anyone's constitutional rights because it is not a pro- hibition on somebody contributing. It's a prohibition on the receiver of the contribution on voting. City Clerk presented: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WEST COVINA, CALIFORNIA, ADDING ARTICLE X TO CHAPTER 2 (ADMIN) OF THE WEST COVINA MUNICIPAL CODE PRECLUDING AN OFFICER FROM PARTICIPATING IN FORMAL DECISIONS WHICH MAY FINANCIALLY AFFECT AN INDIVIDUAL OR ORGANIZATION WHICH HAS CONTRIBUTED IN EXCESS OF $500.00 TO AN OFFICER'S CAMPAIGN 9 Council Minutes of 4/2/02 Ordinance failed introduction Motion by Miller and seconded by Wong to waive further reading of the ordinance and to introduce.

Councilmember Miller — Chamber of Commerce Liaison Report Council reviewed the informational report submitted by Council - member Miller. Motion by Miller and seconded by Herfert to receive and file. Motion carried 5-0. Resolution to Relocate Parole Office Assistant City Manager Fields presented the staff report. Councilmember Wong asked if there were estimates avail- able regarding the City purchasing the property or costs involved in buying out an existing lease. There was not enough information for him to take a position on the relocation of the parole office. Councilmember Herfert felt the resolution only expresses the City Council's desire to have the parole office located somewhere else, it does not lock the City into any other action. Wayne Heieck Wayne Heieck, 1313 S. Sunkist Avenue, who suggested that relocating the parole office in the West Covina Civic Center was not a good idea. There are too many youngsters and teens using the library and the mall. A better spot would be in the City of Irwindale. City Clerk presented: Resolution 2002-39 RESOLUTION NO. 2002-39 — A RESOLUTION OF THE seeking relocation of parole CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WEST COVINA REQUESTING THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA RELOCATE THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS PAROLE OFFICE LOCATED AT 1837 W.
