There will be no cost to the City. In addition, to minimize any inconvenience to the public, the City has scheduled the installation of the new street lights to be done concurrently with the construction, now under way, of the new medians in the Foothill/Alosta corridor. This is the appro- priate time to process a budget transfer. Findings Operation Headstart is a Community Program whereby assistance is given to disadvantaged pre --school aged children in order to assist them to attain the standards of those children who are raised in stronger financial environments. The City of Azusa has been approved to take over the responsibility of this worthwhile project for this area. There is no cost to Azusa for this program, but it is necessary for the City to maintain the grant and account for its transactions in the City's books. As such, a budget transfer is required to set up the bookkeeping for the program. The appropriate transfer has been prepared and is attached for Council approval. Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council January 19, 1988 Page 2 In 1986, the City Council approved the installation of modern energy-saving street lighting in the Foothill/Alosta corridor. The work was to be done in conjunction with the new median installation project that is now under way. The exact cost of the street lights is now known and a budget transfer in the amount of $378,520 is required to set up the bookkeeping for this project. The appropriate budget transfer has been prepared and is attached for Council approval. Recommendation It is recommended that: 1. Council approve the attached budget transfer No. 82 setting up the bookkeeping for the maintenance of the Headstart Program. 2. Council approve the attached budget transfer No. 72 setting up the bookkeeping for the installation of the new street lighting in the Foothill/Alosta corridor project.

SUBJECT: 1959 SURVIVOR BENEFIT : SAFETY MEMBERS At the January 4, 1988, regular meeting, Council began the process of amending its contract with the Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) to include the 1959 Survivor Benefit for safety members. The final step in the process is the second reading of the attached ordinance and adoption of an urgency ordinance so that it will take effect immediately. FINDINGS In the Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) with the Azusa Police Relief Association, the City has committed to providing the 1959 Survivor Benefit to all Safety (police) employees. This amend- ment to the city's contract with PERS will provide a monthly benefit of approximately $400 to the survivor of an employee who dies prior to retirement. This contract amendment is overdue and until it becomes effective, the city may be at risk due to its inability to effectively carry out its obligations pursuant to the MOU. As the result, staff is recommending both the second reading of the attached ordinance and passage of an emergency ordinance which will place this amendment into effect almost immediately. Benefits under this provision would thus begin on February 7, 1988. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that Council adopt for second reading the attached ordinance authorizing an amendment to the contract between the City Council of the City of Azusa and the Board of Administrators of the Public Employees ' Retirement System and pass the attached urgency ordinance by a similar title. 0 djwe u zit c: Joan Francone, Personnel Assistant/Officer p ` f // ORDINANCE NO. 2364 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA AUTHORIZING AN AMENDMENT TO THE CONTRACT BETWEEN THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA AND THE BOARD OF ADMINISTRATION OF THE CALIFORNIA PUBLIC EMPLOYEES ' RETIREMENT SYSTEM THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA does ordain as follows: SECTION 1.
