Virginia Adams, 5820 Primrose Avenue, explained she and her husband have been experiencing
problems with a neighbor at 5826 Primrose. She pointed out that the Municipal Code Section
3320 states no person shall stop, stand or park a vehicle on any street between the hours of 3 -5
a.m. on any day. Section 3323 states all applications for renewal parking permits shall be
reinvestigated prior to issuance of a temporary or renewal permit. Room exists for off- street
parking at the location. She also cited Section 3324 relating to the weight, height, or width in
relation to the width of the street and potential hazards. She felt the vehicle, if permitted, should
be parked in front of the residence in which the permit was issued to, not a neighboring property.
No permit should be issued to vehicles with outstanding traffic tickets. There are four vehicles
at this location: a motorhome, cadilla .., pickup and a van. The vehicles are usually gone, except

A. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Regular meeting of September 19, 1995
Mayor Pro Tem Wilson stated that page 17 of the minutes should reflect that she
requested an emergency item be placed on the agenda. It was noted as if there were no
items under her name. Nothing was said in the minutes about the action taken. Item
15.E. of the minutes states no action was taken on this item. Mayor Breazeal said he was
pulling the item because Mayor Pro Tem Wilson had taken care of this item.
Mayor Breazeal stated Page 10 of minutes should reflect his comments that the
contracting issue should be looked in two different increments. One was tree trimming
personnel and the second was maintenance personnel. He pointed out that a lot of cities
maintain a separate contract for tree trimming and also maintain a single tree trimming
crew for emergencies which is what the City maintains. Also the maintenance personnel
assist our tree trimming personnel at times. He pointed out that Councilman Gillanders
spoke about his experience with privatizing vehicle maintenance. The company gave an
excellent rate, but later began increasing the rates substantially. It cost many millions of
dollars to return to the previous levels they had before. On page 13, the City Manager's
comments should include that the City will meet the 25% mandate for 1995, but it will be
a challenge to meet the 50% AB 939 requirement by the year 2000 and the City faces a
$10,000 a day fine if the reduction is not attained. On Page 16, referring to the grant
process in adding a special assignment deputy, Public Services Director Hart was asked
why the City did not get the cops fast grant funds when the previous special assignment
deputy was hired and responded that the grant funds could not be approved retroactively.
He said he and Councilman Souder expressed concern because there was not sufficient
evidence to warrant the grant. He stated the motion approving the participation in the
grant process was correct, but it should be noted that the budget cannot be amended until
the grant is approved.
Mayor Pro Tem Wilson moved to approve the Minutes from the regular meeting of
September 19, 1995, as corrected, seconded by Councilman Budds and unanimously
carried.
E. MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT: ORDINANCE NO. 95 -785, REVISING THE
PROCEDURE FOR ISSUANCE OF CITY BUSINESS LICENSES
Mayor Breazeal asked if a bill is not paid but the County bill gets paid, is done with the
fees once collected as well as the additional 20% collected.
Financial Services Director Maldonado said any fees collected will be used to pay the
County bill. The County will not receive payment until the City receives payment from
the applicant.
Councilman Souder moved to introduce for first reading by title only Ordinance No. 95-
785, AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMPLE CITY
AMENDING THE TEMPLE CITY MUNICIPAL CODE BY REVISING THE ISSUANCE
OF CITY BUSINESS LICENSES, seconded by Councilman Budds and unanimously
carried.
K. ACCEPTANCE OF WATER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS FOR 6213 TEMPLE CITY
BOULEVARD (PARCEL MAP NO. 20683)
Councilman Souder asked if the water system was inspected by City staff.

City Manager Riley stated the system was inspected by city and county staff.
Councilman Souder moved to accept water system improvements per Los Angeles County
Public Works Department's recommendation and release the related security deposit in
the amount of $40,500, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Wilson and unanimously carried.
L. FIRST QUARTER BUDGET AMENDMENTS
Mayor Breazeal said the budget amendment for the additional sheriff deputy should be
approved as of February 1, 1996.
City Manager Riley explained the current application for the Cops Fast Program is due
October 15. He said the funds must be used for additional hiring. The Council will
authorize the addition of this deputy pending the outcome of the grant application. He
suggested limiting the amendment not to exceed $80,000.
Councilman Budds moved to direct staff to hire an additional deputy upon approval of the
grant application and amend the 1995 -96 budget not to exceed $80,000, seconded by
Mayor Pro Tem Wilson and unanimously carried.
City Manager Riley stated previous approval of the retainer agreement with Dapeer and
Rosenblitt did not include a budget amendment. He suggested the Council amend the
budget to include $10,000 for code enforcement cases. He said the Council authorized the
agreement with the law firm to provide assistance with the Vista Properties matter. The
Willmonte case will be completed at the end of the week and a summary of the costs
associated with the case will be provided. He pointed out that there are a number of
cases scheduled for review by the Planning Commission.
Mayor Pro Tem Wilson asked if the amount could be set on a case -by -case basis.
City Manager Riley stated this could be done. The budget would need to be amended
each time.
Councilman Souder moved to amend the budget not to exceed $10,000 for legal services
for property nuisance cases to be approved by Council on a case -by -case basis, seconded
by Mayor Pro Tem Wilson and unanimously carried.
Mayor Pro Tem Wilson moved to approve the remaining budget amendments as outlined
in the staff report dated October 3, 1995, seconded by Councilman Budds and unanimously
carried.
8. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
A. CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING: PROPOSED FEE ADJUSTMENT FOR
COMMERCIAL SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL SERVICES AND APPROVE 7TH
AMENDMENT TO THE EXCLUSIVE FRANCHISE AGREEMENT
City Attorney Martin presented the background information as outlined in the staff
reports dated October 3, 1995. He agreed the hearing should be continued since there are
a number of points that have not been resolved. He felt with additional time and
negotiation these items could be resolved. A majority of seven cities is needed to obtain
1

the necessary financing for the project. At this time no cities have committed. He
suggested continuing the meeting summarily and take the testimony of those attending.
Joe Sloan, Community Disposal, 14048 Valley Boulevard, stated that $42 per ton tipping
fee is a gross tipping fee. The fee is the cost with processing. After the City is credited
for recovered materials it will be approximately $34 a ton.
Mayor Breazeal citing the Palen Springs case stated the City could not dictate where
companies sell recyclables. The City will receive credit for the reduction, but lose the
revenue.
Mr. Sloan said it is difficult to imagine that the scavenging or selling of commodities would
increase. Even with the materials being removed at this time, there are still enough
materials present in the waste stream. He did not feel that recycling companies compete
with the trash haulers. He pointed out the candidates for source separation are the large
companies, not the resident.
Councilman Souder asked how many types of businesses would be considered high
generators of source separation.
Mr. Sloan stated there are very few; approximately five to ten businesses. He pointed out
the Palm Springs case dealt specifically with value added materials. The issue in this city
is trash and source separated materials.
Mayor Breazeal expressed concern with commercial customers wishing to keep their
commodities for sale to recycling companies.
Mr. Sloan did not feel this was a problem. He also stated the deadline for approving the
amendment was a financing deadline.
Joe Nogues, Chief Financial Officer, stated the City has raised questions regarding the
rate for processing the waste and issues related to indemnification. He explained that
Community Disposal has attempted to maintain a low rate. The net rate is the lowest of
the rates surveyed and some of the rates do not include any indemnification. Community
Disposal will provide indemnification. He said Community is willing to provide
indemnification for the 25% level to the extent they have control over those things they
may indemnify. He explained the residential refuse would need to be included in the MRF
in the year 2000 and at this time he did not know how much it would cost.
Mayor Breazeal expressed his concern that if the commercial waste stream is at 100% of
recyclable waste, but did not generate a 25 percent reduction, how would the City hold
the company accountable.
Mr. Nogues did not feel this would happen. The 50 percent goal is in the law, but felt
that if the City missed the goal by a few percent, the board would not impose fines if
progress has been made.
Mr. Sloan stated he is confident the city will meet the 50 percent and explained that about
three years ago Community Disposal did a waste characterization and selected commercial

routes throughout the San Gabriel Valley. Temple City's trash was divided into two piles,
recyclable and slime.
Councilman Souder pointed out that currently Modern is picking up the school district
trash.
Mr. Sloan said in 1990 Community Disposal served the school district.
Councilman Souder asked if that would change the results of the study done by
Community three years ago, especially with the paper generated by the school.
Mr. Sloan pointed out that grass clippings generate the most recyclable waste, not paper;
therefore, the study would not change much.
Mr. Nogues explained that Community was successful in obtaining permission from the
State to issue tax exempt bonds to finance the project. The equity money will be used to
keep the tipping fees as low as possible. Community is hoping to obtain an extension on
the deadline to December 31. The likelihood of getting additional money in 1996 is in
jeopardy since the housing program is trying to obtain the allocation of funds.
Conventional funding will increase the cost from $42 to $47. With four or five cities,
Community will be able to close the financing. There will be restrictions on spending the
money until it can be shown that the bonds can be repaid. He pointed out that if only
Temple City signs up then the project will not move forward.
Mayor Breazeal expressed concern with being the first city to approve the agreement.
Other cities that follow may be able to get better agreements with Community, leaving
Temple City with a lesser package. He said he did not feel he had the assurance that the
tipping fee is reasonable and equitable.
Mr. Nogues explained that Community Disposal is a privately held company and has not
disclosed financial information. Community would be willing to share some financial
information. The best indicator of equity would be to analyze comparable pricing. The
fee has been set based upon the minimum the bank will allow. Another option of lowering
the price would be a 20 year deal rather than 15 years. Community currently has a 20
year contract with the cities of Yorba Linda, Fullerton and Brea.
Councilman Budds pointed out that Section C of the contract indicates the company will
furnish all such records to substantiate any change of rates.
Mr. Nogues explained this is a fair rate. If the rate increase is unusual or extraordinary
like a fuel increase or workers compensation, records would be furnished to substantiate
the change.
City Manager Riley stated that the city would like an opportunity to meet with
Community in order to work together on the language of the contract. A committee of
the Council and staff would like to ask specific financial questions. He suggested that
perhaps the cities could assist Community in obtaining an extension.
Mayor Breazeal declared the public hearing open and invited those wishing to speak on
this matter to come forward at this time.

Jackie Duncan, BFI, 1201 W. Gladstone, Azusa, informed the Council that BKK will close
in about six months. Athens Disposal is proposing to construct a MRF, and BFI is
constructing a MRF at the Azusa landfill property. The MRF will sort commercial fiber.
Phase 2 has been permitted and will include cans and bottles and Phase 3 will be full
recycling. BFI is not asking to be the City's hauler, but is available to assist with source
reduction.
Manuel Garcia, 4954 Robinhood, agreed that the concept is good, but expressed concern
with the handling of recycling in the City. He pointed out that the MRF will not solve the
problem with recycling. Valuable information can be obtained from other cities who have
begun the process. He cautioned the City about rushing into a project too quickly.
Mayor Breazeal said the amendment addresses only the commercial area.
City Attorney Martin stated the contract needs amending in three areas. If Temple City
is to be a catalyst and other cities will build upon the City, he asked that the City be
allowed to have the same rate deals that other cities make and would like it written into
the agreement. He asked if Community would agree to allow a committee review of the
financial records in order to determine that the rate increase does not exceed the costs.
The contract should contain a simple amendment to the clause concerning other recyclers
should the City permit another recycler in town; except as required by law. He stated he
would prefer to discuss the residential pick up now, but is willing to yield on that issue.
Mayor Breazeal suggested appointing the subcommittee to address the fmancial issues and
adopt in principal the changes suggested by the City Attorney.
Councilman Budds preferred continuing the entire issue to allow the Council time to
review and address the contract as amended.
Councilman Budds moved to appoint Councilman Souder, Mayor Breazeal, City Manager
Riley and Financial Services Director Maldonado to a subcommittee to meet with
Community Disposal to address financial concerns, pursuant to Government Code Section
54952 and subject to the following limitations: such subcommittee shall be less -than-
quorum and advisory only as an aid to staff for presentation to the full Council for public
hearing, such effort on the part of the subcommittee shall in no manner limit any member
of the Council as to a vote on the full contract; such subcommittee shall act ad hoc and
shall not constitute standing or permanent committees of the Council; such subcommittee
shall terminate for all purposes upon approval of the contract; such subcommittee shall
have no fixed or structured meetings or meeting dates; and such subcommittee shall not
be subject to 'the Brown Act', seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Wilson and unanimously
carried.
Councilman Budds moved to continue the public hearing to an adjourned meeting on
Wednesday, October 11, 1995, at 6 p.m., seconded by Councilman Wilson and unanimously
carried.

A. RESOLUTION TO ADOPT POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR ADMINISTERING
THE HOUSING REHABILITATION PROGRAM AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY
MANAGER TO APPROVE HOME REHABILITATION APPLICATIONS
Housing Officer Phil McGrath presented the background information as outlined in the
staff report dated October 3, 1995.
City Manager Riley agreed that individuals familiar with lending and real estate should be
on the committee.
Mayor Breazeal pointed out the approvals will be granted by the committee and the City
Manager will execute disbursement on behalf of the City, not approve the applications.
The reference to the total encumbrances of the property shall not exceed 90 percent of
the value of the property. He did not feel this was important since the most that can be
granted and/or loaned is $20,000. Since you have to be very low income to qualify for the
grant versus low income to qualify for a loan, he asked if a $20,000 combination grant and
loan would be for the very low income. He also asked what is meant by the paragraph
dealing with repair and replacement items. He said since many of the applicants are low
or very low income, seniors, or disabled, many of them may not be employed, why ask for
employment verification, and what is a verification of deposit.
Housing Officer McGrath said it would have to be for the very low income. He also
explained that if a fixture or item is not repairable, it would be included in the
rehabilitation. He stated that of the 16 applications received, one is employed. Some
applicants may have part time jobs and the regulations require the City to verify all
income. The verification of deposit provides information on balances held in savings by
banks or credit unions.
Mayor Breazeal suggested conducting the initial interview at the applicant's home.
Housing Officer McGrath explained that the initial interview is to explain the program,
the process and determine the income level. During this interview a determination may
be made that the applicant does not qualify Subsequent interviews could be held at
applicant's homes.
Mayor Breazeal said possibly once the application has been completed, staff can go to the
home to pick up the application and inspect the home.
Housing Officer McGrath said in some cases when the applicant is disabled he has gone
to their home to conduct the interview and provide assistance. Typically, the home
inspection is done after the application has been received and reviewed. Also, some
documents may need to be copied and therefore more convenient to conduct the interview
at city hall.
Mayor Breazeal asked what is the "Basic Property Identification Form ". He also stated
he preferred not having realtors serve on the committee.
Housing Officer McGrath explained that the L.A. County Community Development
Commission requires a Basic Property Identification form for environmental clearance be

filled out as well as photos of the property and adjacent properties. The loans are funded
by the County.
Mayor Pro Tem Wilson did not object to having a realtor on the committee.
Mayor Pro Tem Wilson moved to adopt Resolution No. 95 -3459, A RESOLUTION OF
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMPLE CITY APPROVING CRITERIA FOR
ADMINISTERING THE LOW AND VERY LOW INCOME HOUSING
REHABILITATION PROGRAM, as amended, seconded by Councilman Budds and
unanimously carried.
10. COMMUNICATIONS
A. CITIZEN REQUEST FOR STOP SIGN - INTERSECTION OF SPARKLETT AND
CAMELLIA
City Manager Riley presented the background information as outlined in the staff report
dated October 3, 1995.
Councilman Souder asked about the cause of the accident.
City Manager Riley explained the cause was excessive speed and illegal passing on the left
about four houses before the intersection.
Councilman Budds asked if the City has the legal authority to install a stop sign if the
traffic engineer states the situation does not meet the necessary traffic volume or reported
accidents. He asked if this is a dangerous intersection.
City Attorney Martin said if this is a dangerous condition it should be fixed and remedied;
if not, the stop sign should not be imposed.
Dodie Murset, 5009 Camellia Avenue, stated three cars have come up on her front yard
in the last three years. The accidents are not being reported because the vehicles leave
and were the result of excessive speed. Since Camellia has two long blocks, vehicles pick
up speed quickly.
Bob Dickerson, 4950 Camellia Avenue, agreed the intersection is wide, but motorists do
not pay attention when they enter the intersection. He was recently involved in an
accident on Camellia.
Ray Veelik, 4945 Camellia Avenue, said there are a number of accidents that do not get
reported. He cited excessive speed as the cause.
Edward Manley 4924 Camellia Avenue, indicated he resides at the corner of Sparklett and
Camellia Avenues, pointed out that there has been a significant increase in traffic from
both directions. The Sheriff's department has been called on many occasions when
motorcycles race on the street at 11 p.m. His son is not allowed to play near the curb.
Screeching tires can be heard throughout the day. There is heavy traffic at lunch time.
He said the Council needs to decide what will slow down traffic on this street.
Mayor Breazeal asked in what direction traffic should be slowed.
City Council Minutes
October 3, 1995
Page 10
Mr. Veelik said traffic traveling north and south assume the traffic on Sparklett has a stop
sign.
Mayor Pro Tem Wilson moved to overturn the Public Safety Commission's decision and
approve the installation of stop signs on Camellia Avenue at Sparklett Avenue, seconded
by Councilman Budds and unanimously carried.
Councilman Souder suggested placing a radar unit in the area.
11. RECESS TO CRA
At 9:45 p.m., the City Council met as the Temple City Community Redevelopment Agency and
approved the Minutes of the regular meeting of September 19, 1995; adopted Resolution No. CRA
95 -586, establishing policies and procedures for the Housing Rehabilitation Program; approved first
quarter budget amendments; and adopted Resolution No. CRA 95 -587, allowing claims and
demands in the amount of $112.50. Minutes of the Agency are set forth in full in the Agency's
records.
12. ACTION ON REQUEST BY CRA None
13. ADDITIONAL ORAL COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE AUDIENCE
Marianne Milch, Chamber of Commerce, asked if speed bumps could be used to slow traffic on
Camellia Avenue.
Mayor Pro Tem Wilson said the speed bump is more hazardous.
Ms. Milch stated that Temple City Boulevard has become a speedway for vehicles.
Joan Vizcarra, Temple City Unified School District, reminded the Council the student population
has increased through increased residential development.
Mayor Breazeal said the population increases with the number of individuals in a household rather
than the increase in housing stock.
14. MATTERS FROM CITY OFFICIALS None
15. COUNCIL ITEMS SEPARATE FROM THE CITY MANAGER'S REGULAR AGENDA
A. COUNCILMAN BUDDS - Request for approval to meet with School District
regarding funding for additional deputy
Councilman Budds suggested approaching the school district with the idea of providing
financial assistance since the deputy would be spending time on campus.
Councilman Souder asked if the SANE program could be funded entirely by the school
district.
Councilman Budds said that would be one option to discuss.
