Mr. Ivan Goodner addressed this issue and stated that he
had attended the study session and thought that the
recommendations that night should be voiced tonight for all
to know what had transpired. Councilman Naranjo advised
that at the study session there was no action taken, only
discussions were held. Mr. Goodner protested that the
grandfathering issue had been discussed and abandoned, and
was, again, advised by Councilman Naranjo that that was not
so; the whole matter was referred back to the Planning
Commission for further study.
IMr. Jerry Pellizzon addressed this issue and was not clear
on the matter of amortization and wanted to know if the
matter was going to go back to the Public Hearing process,
and if an ordinance was going to be adopted regarding
amortization, which he was against. He further stated that
he could not understand how the Council could sanction
building apartments in the downtown area and then be against
the apartments on Azusa and San Gabriel. Councilmen Naranjo
and Latta discussed the issue with Mr. Pellizzon and it was
ascertained that he was not discussing the issue at hand;
further that, the City had an ordinance in place with regard
to amortization.
Councilwoman Avila requested advice from the City Attorney,
and stated that if the issue to be discussed tonight was the
Azusa - San Gabriel corridor, which was not on the Agenda,
then she would have to abstain from the proceedings. She
was advised that the item at hand was the Code Amendment
dealing with property in the barrio.
Discussion was then held with Council, City Administrator,
Mr. Pellizzon, and City Attorney regarding this matter. Mr.
Pellizzon was advised that his questions were premature as
matter had been referred to Planning Commission.
,the
Mr. Art Morales addressed this issue and stated that the
issue tonight was the area between 1st and Foothill Blvd.,
and Pasadena to Azusa Avenue. That it had nothing to do
with San Gabriel. He said that Mr. Pellizzon should not
compare the apartments in this area with the Casden Project,
because there was no comparison at all.

The Mayor advised that he would not be able to attend the Discussion
Town Hall meeting on July 31st, as he had a benefit dinner
re: Town Hal
that evening. He asked that the Council reconsider this

irrespective of that, he felt that City business, such as
the Town Hall meeting, should have preference to fund
raising campaign dinners. He went on to state that the
Mayor was opposed to the proposed fire assessment fee of
$50.00 per residence, per year, and yet was charging $50.00
General
discussion
per person for his fund raising dinner.
The Mayor, again, stated that he had set this dinner date
Comments
after being advised by City staff that there were no

conflicting meetings. He, further, stated that he could not
get thousands of dollars from the rock companies, so needed
to ask the citizenry for funds to run his campaign.
Mr. Louis Zamora spoke to the comment regarding funds from
Comments
the rock quarries and advised that consultants and surveyors
L. Zamora
were hired with these donations to combat the recall against
Councilmen Stemrich and Naranjo. His committee felt that
the Councilmen should not have to be bothered with fighting
a recall attempt, but to continue doing City business.
Heated discussions were held regarding campaign
expenditures; that the Mayor had, in fact, received funds
General
discussion
from the rock industry in the past; whether or not the
dinner on the 31st was a testimonial for the Mayor or a fund
raising dinner; that the date of the meeting was changed,
according to the Mayor, because the Council knew he was
planning this fund raiser; alternate dates for the Town Hall
meeting; and whether the Mayor had advised the Council or
staff that he was having this dinner, as apparently no one
was aware of it, and that two Councilmembers would not be
able to attend the meeting if it were scheduled for the
24th.

Councilman Latta discussed the possibility of expanding the Expansion of
Parks and Recreation Commission to allow one member for each Pks & Rec
park in the City. Comm
Discussion was held regarding number of parks in the City
and that some Commissioners had responsibility for more than
one park; feasibility of amending the Ordinance to include
adding commission members as more parks are created, and the
possibility of eliminating the provision of having one
commission member appointed by the rest of the members.
Director of Community Services Guarrera addressed this and
advised that the City has seven parks and that some
commissioners do have two parks to oversee. He stated that
the Personnel Board also appoints one member to the Board as
the Parks and Recreation Commission does. He further stated
that there will be another park, Canyon Park, in the near
future. He also stated that consideration should be given
for the compensation of these new commissioners, as funds
had not been budgeted.
It was then moved by Councilman Latta, seconded by
Councilman Stemrich and unanimously carried by roll call to
direct the City Attorney to prepare the necessary Ordinance
,expanding the Parks and Recreation Commission.
Councilman Latta then discussed the possibility of having a
single family home development program, similar to the City
of Santa Fe Springs. Apparently, what Santa Fe Springs has
done is to buy homes that are in need of rehabilitation,
these are then refurbished and sold through a lottery
process. The funds received from the sale are then used to
rehabilitate other homes.

Councilman Stemrich discussed the issue of inviting Board Discussion re
and Commission members to Councilmembers' fund raising invites to Bd
dinners. He stated that it was probably legal, but he felt & Comm membrs
it was unethical to do so; because inviting them would make fundraisers

not.

that a Councilmember was having a fund raising event and not
sending invitations to any commission or board member or
