As the legislation packet for next year in being formed, Assemblyman Margett would like to meet in the next 45 to 60 days as he did last year. City Manager Hopper will confer with Mr. Petteruto as to the date and time. Mayor Bartlett praised the good working relationship with Assemblyman Margett, stating that he had been one of the most open legislators in Sacramento, and that he had opposed legislation which the City Council believed would hurt cities. 2. Duarte Parade, ìRoute 66î: Tom Lawry, Duarte Chamber of Commerce, invited the City Council to participate in Duarteís ìRoute 66î Parade down Huntington Drive on September 21, 1996, 9:00 A.M.

He stated that this was the first parade in thirty-five years, and would be celebrating the 2400 miles from Chicago to Los Angeles as the bloodline that brought people to California, the land of plenty. Bobby Troop, original vocalist for the song ìRoute 66î will be the Grand Marshall. He thanked Mrs. Wilcox for her input in helping him begin the task of organizing the parade. He left applications with the City Clerk. 3. Monrovia in St. Louis Headlines; Recognition of City Manager; Monument for Barney Glenn Ball Field; Mingling with Audience, Monthly Seniors Meetings: Tom OíConnell, 303 1/2 S. Madison Avenue, reported that when he attended his Class Reunion in St. Louis last month, the local paperís headlines carried Monroviaís news of the visit of President Clinton. He stated that the reception in recognition of the newly appointed City Manager and the Community Development Director was enjoyable and that he saw many people who had worked for the City in the past. He stated that Chuck Ochoa would like a wooden monument at the Recreation Park Barney Glenn Ball Field in recognition of Barney Glenn. City Manager Hopper stated that Staff was currently studying a plan to construct a sign for the ballfield. Mr. OíConnell suggested that Councilmembers mingle more with the audience after a City Council Meeting, and he invited those Councilmembers who had not been able to attend a Seniors Meeting on Thursday each month to attend. 4. Complaint Regarding 812 E. Lime Avenue: Elmer Greenwahl, 818 E. Lime Avenue asked that the City Council investigate the code enforcement problems at 812 E. Lime Avenue including cars parked on the lawn and vegetation blocking the illumination from the street lights. D. PUBLIC MEETINGS/HEARINGS: 1. Nomination Statements for Historical Landmark Designations and Mills Act Contracts; 201 E. Greystone, 173 Highland Place, 130 N. Myrtle Avenue; Resolution Nos. 96-56, 96-57, 96-58, Respectively Planning Division Manager Alice Griselle reviewed the Staff Report. At the June 26 and July 24, 1996 Historic Preservation Commission Meetings, the Commission unanimously recommended approval to the City Council of the designation of additional three homes for Historic Landmark status and granting of Mills Act Contracts. In considering the nomination of these three homes to Historic Landmark status, both the Commission and the City Council must find at least one of the criteria outlined in the Staff report ranging from significant local, State or national history, notable designer or architect, unique physical characteristics, a historic neighborhood to generally preserving historical significance, and importance for the community. It is the findings of the Commission that all three homes achieve nearly all of the required criteria. 1. 201 East Greystone-- The M. L. Butts House, constructed in 1895 2. 173 Highland Place-- The Arthur J. Everest House, constructed in 1909 3. 130 N. Myrtle Avenue-- The Frank J. Cornes House, constructed in 1907 The property owners are also requesting Mills Act Contracts be approved simultaneously with the Historic Landmark designation. These contracts extend for a period of ten years and require the property owners to undertake specific restoration tasks during the contract period. Although this is a volunteer program, it is a contract for ten years and carries with it certain penalties if the contract is terminated. A benefit of the Mills Act Contract is a reduction in property taxes to the property owner that is designed as an incentive to encourage reinvestment and restoration. The resulting impact to the City of Monrovia in lost property taxes per property range from $435.00 a year to a high of $879.00 per year. This brings the total number of homes designated for Historic Landmark status and Mills Act Contracts to eight. Although this is a volunteer program, it is designed to preserve the history and character of homes throughout the community and provide some financial incentive for the property owners to restore and maintain these homes to ensure historical status. Both Staff and the Historic Preservation Commission recommended approval. Public Hearing Opened and Closed: Mayor Bartlett opened and closed the Public Hearing as there was no one who wished to speak for or against the matter. It was moved by Ms. Blakely, seconded by Mr. Adams, to find the proposed Resolutions, Landmark Designations and Mills Act Contracts are categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act; to adopt Resolution No. 96-57 granting Historic Landmark designation and execution of a Mills Act Contract for property located at 201 East Graystone Avenue, owned by Jaime and Yvonne Meija, Resolution No. 96-58 granting Historic Landmark designation and execution of Mills Act Contract for property located at 173 Highland Place, owned by John and Rebecca Petrovich, and Resolution No. 96-59 granting Historic Landmark designation and execution of Mills Act Contract for property located at 130 North Myrtle Avenue owned by Larry Stone and Barbara Simundza.

She stated he was pleased to do so and would contact her with the results. She also reported that the Library would be closed until September 2, 1996, for cleaning. Those volunteers who wish to participate need to contact Human Resources to complete the necessary paperwork. 3.

Mayor Bartlett (a) Southern California Association of Governmentsí (SCAG) ìCalifornia Firstî Congressional Leadership Summit, August 19, 1996: Mayor Bartlett reported that SCAG held its first Summit on August 19, 1996, with ten Congressmen of twenty-six from the six county-area in attendance. It was the first time that that many Congressmen had assembled to conduct business outside of Washington, D.C. Agreement was reached on opposing any more military base closures in California, the Intermobile Service Efficiency Act and the Alameda Corridor. Congressman David Dreier was the first to respond, even though he could not attend. Mayor Bartlett and Ms. Blakely named those in attendance. He stated that the press will cover the Summit better next year as it understands now what can be accomplished. He noted that Southern California can be proud at the response. A plan to meet with the State Legislature to talk, as bi-partisans, about things for the people of California is in the works. (b) Palomino Baseball, San Gabriel Valley League: He presented two impressive trophies for the City from the Palomino Baseball League in recognition of their going all the way to the playoffs. Young people, ages 17-19, and coaches alike, were commended by the Mayor for the giving of their free time. The trophies will be displayed in the Lobby to be shared with the community. H. REPORTS OF COMMISSIONS, BOARDS AND COMMITTEES: None I. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS 1. Establishment of Permitted Vehicle Speed from 25 MPH to 20 MPH; Wildrose Avenue/Sawpit Channel Bridge; Resolution No. 96-62 City Engineer Ken Putnam reviewed the Staff Report. Residents in the vicinity of Wildrose Avenue where the bridge crosses over the Sawpit Channel, just east of Mountain Avenue, have expressed concerns regarding vehicle speeds and unsafe traffic condition in this area. The present posted speed limit is 25 mph. The Cityís Consultant Traffic Engineer has investigated the site conditions and has recommended that the speed be reduced from 25 mph to 20 mph. The Traffic Safety Committee reviewed our consultantís recommendation and is recommending approval. This adjustment in the speed limit should improve overall traffic safety and hopefully slow down the traffic that crosses this raised bridge. It was moved by Mr. Adams, seconded by Mrs. McCarville, to adopt Resolution No. 96-62. Roll Call: Ayes: Councilmembers Adams, Blakely, McCarville, Mayor Pro Tem Wilcox and Mayor Bartlett Motion carried: 5-0 2. Creation of Three-Way Stop Intersection; Colorado Boulevard at Madison Avenue; Resolution No. 96-53 City Engineer Ken Putnam reviewed the Staff Report. Residents in the vicinity of the intersection of Madison Avenue and Colorado Boulevard have requested that the City consider the installation of stop signs on Colorado Boulevard to improve traffic safety at this intersection. This is a ìTî intersection and would result in a three-way stop. Controlling the east and west Colorado traffic would provide a break and allow safer left-hand turns from Madison Avenue onto Colorado. This is a particularly difficult intersection during the times when the high school is in operation. The Cityís Consultant Traffic Engineer has evaluated the intersection and is recommending installation of the new stop signs. The Traffic Safety Committee met on July 18, 1996 to consider this recommendation and is also recommending approval. The attached report includes a chart showing the average daily traffic on both of these streets and the standards for installation of stop signs. The average daily traffic counts far exceed the minimum threshold limit and therefore warrants consideration for the installation of these stop signs. Both Staff and the Traffic Safety Committee recommended approval. If approved, notices will be mailed to residents in the area. Notices will be posted at the locations before the installation of the signs advising motorists of the installation of the signs. It was moved by Mrs. Wilcox, seconded by Mr. McCarville, to adopt Resolution No. 96-53. Roll Call: Ayes: Councilmembers Adams, Blakely, McCarville, Mayor Pro Tem Wilcox and Mayor Bartlett Motion carried: 5-0 3. 1996-97 Foothill Transit Contract for Administration of Monrovia Transit (Dial-A-Ride) Planning Division Manager Alice Griselle reviewed the Staff Report. For the past three years, Foothill Transit has provided contract administration services to the City for the Monrovia Transit Dial-A-Ride Programs. Foothill Transit monitors the contractors operations, dispatching, vehicle maintenance, training, and all other operational aspects of this service. They also provide bi-annual reporting of this service that can be used in our reporting requirements to L. A. County. Last year the City paid Foothill Transit $8,000.00 for contract administration services. The contract for 1996-97 will also be $8,000.00-- no increase. Foothill Transit also receives some benefit from providing this service to Monrovia through its ìmaintenance of effortî requirements to the Metropolitan Transit Authority. This provides a win-win situation for both the City and Foothill Transit. In addition, the service is relatively complaint-free. Staff recommended that the agreement for administration of contract services be renewed for 1996-97 at a cost not to exceed $8,000.00. It was moved by Ms. Blakely, seconded by Mrs. McCarville, to approve the 1996-97 Foothill Transit Zone Dial-A-Ride Administrative Services Agreement in the total amount of $8,000.00. Roll Call: Ayes: Councilmembers Adams, Blakely, McCarville, Mayor Pro Tem Wilcox and Mayor Bartlett Motion carried: 5-0 4. Los Angeles County Contract with City of Monrovia for Transportation of General Public in the County Area of Monrovia, and Authorization to Participate in Subregional Paratransit Incentive Grant; Resolution No. 96-51 Planning Division Manager Alice Griselle reviewed the Staff Report. Monrovia Transit has been providing transportation for the elderly and handicapped in the County area below Monrovia since 1989. This service was expanded to provide general public Dial-A-Ride services in November 1994. Contracts for these services are renewed on an annual basis with the Los Angeles County Public Works Department. By providing transit service to the County, the City has been eligible for a yearly Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Subregional Paratransit Incentive Grant. The Incentive Grant for 1996-97 is $85,255.00. These funds are used by Monrovia to provide additional Dial-A-Ride services to our residents. In addition, the County will pay the actual costs (estimated at $110,000.00 to $125,000.00 for 1996-97) to provide general Dial-A-Ride services for the County area residents. The Monrovia Transit system continues to provide over 107,000 rides per year with virtually no complaints. This ridership level far exceeds the average of other general Dial-A-Ride services in the San Gabriel Valley. Ms. Griselle noted that the City meets every other month with Foothill Transit and Monrovia-Arcadia-Duarte (MAD) Town Council. The addition of the incentive grant will allow us to continue the desired level of service. Staff recommended approval of the contract with Los Angeles County. It was moved by Mr. Adams, seconded by Mrs. McCarville, to approve the 1996-97 Monrovia Transit Contract with the County of Los Angeles; and adopt Resolution No. 96-51 authorizing participation in the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Subregional Paratransit Incentive Grant Program. Roll Call: Ayes: Councilmembers Adams, Blakely, McCarville, Mayor Pro Tem Wilcox and Mayor Bartlett Motion carried: 5-0 5. 1995-96 Street Resurfacing Program, Excel Paving Company; Change Order No. 1 and Quantity Work Unit Changes, $7,996.54; Acceptance of Work, Notice of Completion and Final Progress Payment of $227,641.31 City Engineer Ken Putnam reviewed the Staff Report with the aid of slides showing the equipment and process of the resurfacing program which gives 20 more years of life to the Cityís streets. On June 4, 1996, the City Council awarded a contract to the firm of Excel Paving Company in the amount of $244,938.26. The contractor has completed the work within the specified contract period. There were some additional changes in the course of the contract with a time extension of one day and additional quantities of material both totaling $7,995.54, representing a 3.26% increase in the overall contract for a new total of $252,293.48. It was moved by Mr. Adams, seconded by Mrs. Wilcox, to approve Change Order No. 1 and the quantity work changes in the net total amount of $7,996.54 and approve the Final Progress Payment in the amount of $227,641.31 to Excel Paving Company; accept the contractorís work and direct the City Clerk to file a Notice of Completion with the County of Los Angeles Recorder; and authorize the Public Works Director to approve Final Payment of the Retention in the amount of $25,293.48, thirty-five (35) days after acceptance of the project. Roll Call: Ayes: Councilmembers Adams, Blakely, McCarville, Mayor Pro Tem Wilcox and Mayor Bartlett Motion carried: 5-0 Mrs. Wilcox thanked Staff for all the work which keeps Monroviaís streets clean. Ms Blakely noted that those cities which have deferred street maintenance makes a person proud and happy to live in Monrovia. Mayor Bartlett noted that the City of Los Angeles has a 100-year cycle compared to our 20 year cycle. 6. Monrovista Cul-de-Sac Project, Tyner Paving Company; Quantities of Work Increase, $3,792.44; Acceptance of Work, Notice of Completion and Final Progress Payment of $27,999.99 City Engineer Ken Putnam reviewed the Staff Report. Approximately five years ago, the City Council approved the installation of a temporary barrier at the intersection of Monrovista and Shamrock in an effort to help curb some of the drug sales and drive-by gang activities that were occurring in this neighborhood. This past May, the CAP Committee reported on the success of these and other improvements to the neighborhood. However, it was also pointed out that the neighbors would like to see the temporary barrier removed and replaced with a permanent cul-de-sac, landscaped similar to those installed on King and Maple Avenues. On May 21, 1996, the City Council awarded a contract to the firm of Tyner Paving Company in the amount of $27,318.66 for the installation of a permanent cul-de-sac. Although the work has been completed, there were some Change Orders required for additional curb and gutter and irrigation systems, as well as some reduction in other areas for a net increase in the contract of $3,792.44. Staff recommended that the City Council approve this Change Order as well as the Final Progress Payment for this work. It was moved by Ms. Blakely, seconded by Mr. Adams, to approve the net increase in the quantities of work in the amount of $3,792.44 and issue a Final Progress Payment in the amount of $27,999.99 to Tyner Paving Company; accept the contractorís work and direct the City Clerk to file a Notice of Completion with the County of Los Angeles Recorder; and authorize the Public Works Director to approve payment of the Retention in the amount of $3,111.11 thirty-five (35) days after acceptance of the project. Roll Call: Ayes: Councilmembers Adams, Blakely, McCarville, Mayor Pro Tem Wilcox and Mayor Bartlett Motion carried: 5-0 Mr. Adams noted that the King and Maple residents now have their own safe neighborhood to enjoy. He suggested that Staff look at other sites to , if appropriate. In response to Mrs. Wilcoxís concerns, City Manager Hopper stated that Community Services was checking the status of the weed infested Monrovista Garden with Marsha Coronado. *7. Congestion Management Plan (CMP); Conformance with CMP and Local Implementation Report, Resolution No. 96-59 This matter was approved by order of the Consent Calendar. The implementation of the Congestion Management Plan is now in its third year. The CMP is designed to address regional congestion by linking transportation, land use and air quality decisions together. The plan is implemented by the use of strategies that mitigate congestion created by new development. The CMP is heavily dependent on local government actions and requires every city to participate in mitigating the addition of vehicular trips. As part of the CMP, cities are required to adopt and file a Local Implementation Report annually. This report is like a ìcheckbookî or a Deficiency Plan Status Summary. As building projects are approved, the City keeps track of all new development, which are counted as debits. The City is then required to balance those with credits such as Monrovia Transit, bus pass discount programs and Police bicycle patrol. This combination of debits and credits tries to ease the transportation impact on the Region by requiring each city to be accountable for their share. In 1995, the City ended with a credit balance of 8,261. In 1996, we added 80 credits to this program through the Police bicycle patrol. However, because of projects such as CompUSA, Taco Bell and 27 new homes, we received a debit of 1,377. This leaves us with a positive balance of 6,964 credits. Although there are no direct costs to the CMP other than Staff time (which is getting greater), there are penalties which could be imposed if the City does not comply with the CMP mandates. These include potential loss of Prop A and C discretionary allocations, as well as the potential of implementing other programs to offset future development debits such as Home Depot, the Old Town Theater project or new development at the World Vision site. Staff recommended approval of Resolution No. 96-59, finding that the City is in compliance with the CMP and adopt the Local Implementation Report. *8. Designation of Wells Fargo Bank as Authorized Depository for City Funds, and Establishment of Certificate of Authorized Officials; Resolution No. 96-63, Resolution No. 96-64, Respectively This matter was approved by order of the Consent Calendar. In September 1995, the City awarded a three-year banking service contract to First Interstate Bank. Since then, First Interstate has been acquired by Wells Fargo and the City Manager position has been changed. It would be appropriate to update our records and make the necessary changes to reflect this merger and the authorization and signature card for the new City Manager. Staff recommended that Resolutions No. 96-63 and 96-64 be adopted to reflect the modifications for banking and custodial services. K. PAYROLL & VOUCHERS: This matter was removed from the Consent Calendar and approved out of order under Agenda Item A above. As the Finance Department experienced a breakdown of their computers, warrant registers were not ready in time to be included on the Agenda. Therefore, Staff recommended that the City Council approve vouchers not to exceed $750,000.00. Since that time, the problem was rectified and the voucher totals exceeded $750,000.00. J. RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES: None L. SCHEDULED MEETINGS The next Regular Meeting of the Monrovia City Council is scheduled for Tuesday, September 3, 1996, 7:30 P.M., Council Chambers, 415 South Ivy Avenue, Monrovia, California. M. CLOSED SESSION: None N. ADJOURNMENT: It was moved by Mrs. McCarville, seconded by Mrs. Wilcox, to adjourn. The Meeting adjourned at 8:52 P.M. in memory of Dennis Lojeski, City of Arcadia Councilmember, and Floyd Warr, retired Fire Captain of the Monrovia Fire Department, and husband of retired City Manager Secretary Martha Warr. Mayor Bartlett asked that City Manager Hopper send letters to both families expressing the Cityís sorrow. .City Manager Hopper suggested that a tree with a plaque be donated to Arcadia in honor of Mr. Lojeski. The estimated cost was $500.00. He will contact the City Manager of Arcadia for approval of the location of the tree at Civic Center, and schedule a time for the tree planting ceremonies. Further discussion prior to adjournment included the Maryknoll Sistersí request for the City to consider printing postcards relevant to Monrovia as many visitors to Monrovia have asked them where they could purchase them. Mrs. Wilcox noted that it takes a large investment of money to begin the process, and she was aware that the Chamber of Commerce had indicated interest in the project. Mayor Bartlett suggested checking those businesses in Monrovia to see if any of them could help financially. City Manager Hopper suggested that the new Gift Shop to be opened soon at the Library would be a good place to sell postcards. APPROVED: _________________________________ Robert T.
