8. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
A. PROPOSED MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT: ORDINANCE NOS. 00 -849 AND 00 -848U
RELATIVE TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF STORM WATER AND URBAN RUNOFF
CONTROLS AND RESOLUTION NO. 00 -3847 DECLARING THE CITY'S INTENT TO
ESTABLISH A FEE SCHEDULE FOR NPDES BUILDING PLAN REVIEW AND INSPECTION
PROGRAM
In July 1996, the California Regional Water Quality Control Board issued a separate storm sewer
system permit to the County of Los Angeles, as Principal Permittee, and 85 cities, including
Temple City as co- permittee, to control and minimize the discharge of pollutants associated with
storm water and urban runoff. In January, 2000, the Regional Board approved the Standard
Urban Storm Water Mitigation Plan (SUSMP), thereby expanding the region's required storm
water control and regulation responsibilities by further addressing the issues of construction and
development planning. The proposed ordinance and resolution meet the requirements of the
Board's mandate to regulate the reduction of storm water pollution.
City Manager Martin stated Council held a public hearing regarding this issue on May 2, 2000.
Council is asked to consider proposed ordinances providing for the implementation of storm water
and urban runoff controls for new construction; and a resolution declaring the City's intent to
establish a fee schedule for the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination (NPDES) building plan
review and inspection program.
John Hunter, President of John L. Hunter and Associates, who will be responsible for the
inspection and plan review and ensuring compliance of the Plan, answered questions of Council
and explained the procedures and fee schedule based on uses. The County will reimburse the city
for site visits to ensure the plan is functioning properly.
Mayor Pro Tem Wilson moved to:
1) waive further reading and introduce Ordinance No. 00 -849, an ORDINANCE OF THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMPLE CITY PROVIDING FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF
STORM WATER AND URBAN RUNOFF CONTROLS FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION, SERVICE
FEES RELATED THERETO, AND AMENDING THE TEMPLE CITY MUNICIPAL CODE;

CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMPLE CITY RELATIVE TO THE IMPLEMENTATION
OF STORM WATER AND URBAN RUNOFF CONTROLS AND RESOLUTION DECLARING
THE CITY'S INTENT TO ESTABLISH A FEE SCHEDULE FOR NPDES BUILDING PLAN
REVIEW AND INSPECTION PROGRAMS; and
3) adopt Resolution No. 00 -3847, a RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
TEMPLE CITY ESTABLISHING STORM WATER AND URBAN RUNOFF CONTROLS FOR
NEW CONSTRUCTION AND SERVICE FEES RELATED THERETO, seconded by Councilman
Breazeal and unanimously carried.
B. REVIEW OF CONDITION OF APPROVAL REGARDING REMOVAL OF EXISTING NON-
CONFORMING POLE SIGN AT 5528 ROSEMEAD BOULEVARD (SPEED PRIDE/LIN LORD
& ASSOCIATES)
City Manager Martin stated, on June 20, 2000, the City Council reviewed and confirmed the
conditions of approval for the expansion of an automobile repair service. All items were resolved
except condition number 8 relative to the existing non - conforming sign on the premises in the C -3
zone.
Darrel Frazeur, representing applicant Speed Pride Engineering, understood that the current code
changes the height to 20 feet for a pole sign. He talked to the owner who felt that the sign was
built in the 70s according to the code in effect then and felt he had the right to keep the sign as
it is.
Community Development Director Dawson stated the proposed options as listed in the staff report:
allow the non - conforming sign as is; require the sign be reduced to 20 feet, or remove the sign
which was staffs recommendation.
City Manager Martin stated Council has the authority to attach a condition to the CUP if there
is a nexus. Council discussed the issue, with consensus that a connection could not be made.
Councilman Breazeal moved to reconfirm adoption of Resolution No. 00 -3840, deleting condition
number 8 relative to the existing sign, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Wilson and unanimously
carried.
C. PROPOSED MEDIAN AT TEMPLE CITY BOULEVARD AND ELLTS LANE
City Manager Martin stated this issue was brought up by Councilman Gillanders who felt there
was a traffic hazard at that location. Mr. Martin recommended posting the site for no u -turns and
no turns where appropriate in conjunction with the recommendation made by the City's Traffic
Engineer, so the violator would incur the liability.
Pat Lang, the City's Traffic Engineer, stated staff and Councilman Gillanders reviewed the
situation a few weeks ago and Mr. Gillanders felt motorists should be prevented from making left
turns onto Ellis Lane. Mr. Lang indicated cars are making left turns presently and are being
ticketed when the Sheriff's Department is present. To his knowledge there have not been any
accidents at that site. Options to prevent left turns could include a raised median or painted island
with posted sign. A budget amendment of $33,000 would be required for the proposed median
plan submitted by Transtech Engineering. When the Home Depot opened, it was felt this would
be a heavily traveled route and only right turns were permitted for safety reasons. However, this
City Council Minutes

Page 6
has not proved to be the case and (in answer to a question by Councilman Breazeal) the risk at
the present time is not great.
Council discussed the issue and Mr. Lang and Public Works Coordinator Daniel responded to
questions.
Mayor Souder moved to remove the no left turn sign and monitor the situation for a period of six
months, at which time the status would be reported back to Council, seconded by Councilman
Breazeal and unanimously carried.
D. GREEN STREET RIGHT -OF -WAY ACQUISITION STATUS
The deadline of July 10, 2000 for fmal acquisition has passed and two properties still remain to
be signed for the Green Street right -of -way acquisition. City Manager Martin stated the City has
spent approximately $70,000 and several years on this project. At this point Council options
include: 1) abandon the project; 2) proceed with the project, without the two properties in
question; or 3) initiate condemnation proceedings.
Councilman Breazeal moved to proceed with the project, omitting the two properties unless they
consent by the end of July, seconded by Councilman Brook and unanimously carried.
E. PROPOSED MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT: ORDINANCE NO. 00-851 (FIRST READING
AND INTRODUCTION) REGULATING THE TIME, PLACE, TYPE OF GOODS SOLD, AND
SIGNAGE FOR YARD SALES
The City Council is requested to consider a proposed municipal code ordinance regarding the
regulation of yard sales. City Manager Martin stated this item was previously considered by
Council on May 16, 2000 and was ordered to be brought back.
Mayor Pro Tem Wilson said she initially brought this item to Council because of a problem with
the same people continually having a sale in front of their house with just five articles, without
having to obtain a yard sale permit, as allowed in the current code. The proposed ordinance would
eliminate this problem as well as allow 4 yard sales per year.
Councilman Breazeal disagreed with the proposal, stating the defmition of a yard sale could be
modified and enforced; however, he felt the removal of yard sale signs was not currently being
enforced and the proposed ordinance would only exacerbate the situation.
Mayor Souder concurred, stating the proposed ordinance will not change the problems we have
now. He preferred the ordinance as is to restrict the number of yard sales which he felt the city
was not adequately enforcing now.
Public Safety Manager Fetherolf stated there are a number of violations regarding yard sales in
that residents are not getting a permit and not taking down signs. The present ordinance is being
enforced. Last weekend the Code Enforcement Officer took down over 80 signs. The proposed
ordinance would be easier to enforce and would help reduce the clutter of signs.
Councilman Breazeal stated Council does not adopt ordinances to facilitate the ease of
administration. Council adopts ordinances for the betterment of the community. Ms. Fetherolf
responded that allowing additional opportunities for residents to have yard sales and making it
more convenient to have them would benefit the community. The purpose of the proposed

July 18, 2000

ordinance is to provide additional services to the community and to reduce the blight of yard sale
signs.
Councilman Breazeal moved to reject introduction of proposed Ordinance No. 00 -851, seconded
by Mayor Souder and carried on the following roll call vote:
AYES: Councilman - Breazeal, Brook, Souder
NOES: Councilman - Wilson
ABSENT: Councilman- Gillanders
F. REPORT ON WOMEN'S CLUB ACTIVITIES - JUNE 10, 2000 THROUGH JULY 8, 2000
City Manager Martin stated certain complaints were registered regarding events held at the
Women's Club and its caterer /event manager, Mr. Startup. Council directed this issue be brought
back for a status report.
Ester Davido, 6018 Kauffman Avenue, said she hears a lot of noise from the Women's Club and
she can't go to sleep. When she goes to church on Sunday she is half asleep.
Sam Davido, 6018 Kauffman Avenue, stated he has known the Startups for a number of years,
but his family has had to put up with people parking in front of his house and noise from patrons
of the Women's Club arriving and leaving every weekend. A lot of them are drunk. When asked
to turn down their music when they are parked in front of his house, they threaten him. He
doesn't understand why this is allowed in a residential area. Mr. Startup is never there, and when
Mr. Davido called the police last weekend to complain about the noise, he was told they had four
other calls. He asked that the hours be cut so the patrons are out of the Club by 10:00 p.m.
Richard Poston, 6236 Rosemead Boulevard, stated he was a DJ at the Women's Club on July 8
and relayed details of an incident that took place that evening as he was re- loading his equipment.
Mr. Poston stated his car was parked in a red zone in front of the fire department when the fire
department received a call and asked him to move his car. He responded that he would be there
only 3 -5 minutes and was not blocking the drive. The sheriff was called, made him sit on the curb,
flashlight in his eyes, and had his car was impounded. He was appalled at the unfair treatment
he received. Mr. Poston stated there was no sign stating this was a tow away zone and he was
never towed away from a red zone before.
In response to Councilman Breazeal's question if he meant he had parked in a red zone previously,
Mr. Poston said he didn't know - he usually parked in a loading zone, but he was not blocking the
fire department driveway, he was just in the red zone. Mr. Poston felt he should have only
received a citation and asked for the money refunded that he had to pay for the fee and to get his
car out of tow.
City Manager Martin suggested continuing with the Women's Club issue before commenting on
Mr. Poston's comments.
Rebecca Startup, Startup's Catering, stated she faxed a letter to Council regarding this issue, and
Council acknowledged receiving it. She indicated she understood the tension over the situation but
not the lack of respect. She said that their business provides a service for the community and that
her husband is always there, but was not present this last time. When the Sheriff's Department
was previously called by their security guard it took an hour for an officer to arrive and yet the
DJ was picked up instantly.
City Council Minutes
July 18, 2000
Page 8
Sam Davido, reiterated he did not want to shut the Startup's business down, he just wanted
people to comply with a peaceable party. He did not want to be wakened up by a ruckus.
Mayor Pro Tem Wilson stated all the blame is being placed on the Women's CIub and the
Startups, who have complied with additional security. She has seen the guards out there, but
doesn't know what can they do about what goes on in a public street after people have left the
club. All of the disturbances are happening in the street.
City Manager Martin said the caterer has the option of closing down or putting sufficient guards
on duty to control the patrons the best they can. After the party is over, they can't do much. The
situation is not getting any better and suggested either a final warning or termination of the
Startup's business at the Women's Club.
Council discussed the issue. Mayor Souder stated that Mr. Startup is running a business on the
behalf of the Women's Club and does not have a business license as licenses are not issued in an
R -3 area. Mr. Souder suggested reducing the hours to 10:00 p.m. and stated on July 1 he was a
block and a half down the street and heard the noise and drove around the block twice and did
not see any security guards outside.
. Rebecca Startup stated they are licensed in another city where the food is prepared and brought
in to the Women's Club here.
City Manager Martin said when this issue first came up about 5 years ago, Council felt
accommodating the Women's Club was the appropriate thing to do and the business license was
waived. Originally the closing time was earlier, but Council subsequently approved a later time.
Mr. Martin suggested imposing a 10:00 p.m. limit until the current bookings are exhausted and
then determine what to do at that time. It was anticipated that the approximately 35 bookings
would not be completed until April of next year.
Council discussion followed. Mr. Martin recommended a fording that Mr. Startup's operations
have, over the past several months, constituted a public nuisance for the following reasons: 1)
permitting loud noises and drunkenness to exist in a residential neighborhood as a result of his
parties, despite several warnings; 2) operating a business in a residential zone in violation of the
Temple City Zoning Code; and 3) operating without a business license. Therefore, the proper
abatement at this time with Mr. Startup's 35 bookings currently on his books is not to shut him
down completely but instead to impose a 10:00 p.m. closing time on the remaining 35 bookings,
with RSVP officers monitoring every Saturday night for report to the City Manager the following
Monday, and Council review in three months for such additional action a's may be appropriate.
Councilman Breazeal moved to approve the City Manager's recommendation, seconded by
Councilman Brook and carried on the following roll call vote:
AYES: Councilman - Breazeal, Brook, Souder
NOES: Councilman- Wilson
ABSENT: Councilman- Gillanders
John Veenstra, 9943 Bogue Street, business associate of Richard Poston, said Mr. Poston was
doing an honest day's work and fell into a situation. In all his years as a DJ he has never been
treated this way in any city. Mr. Veenstra felt this was an over - reaction of a contract department
- the Sheriff's Department - and should come under review as any police department would.

There should be an internal investigation of the over - reaction of a certain officer seeing a black
guy loading up his car.
In answer to Councilman Breazeal's question, Mr. Veenstra admitted his comments were hearsay.
He did not witness the incident. Mr. Veenstra said he spoke to the City Manager regarding the
incident and was told that a liaison officer would look into the situation, but has not yet heard
anything after 10 days. He did not feel the incident showed good human relations exercised by our
police department. He also suggested Council look at a loading zone for the Women's Club as it
is operating with limited parking and should have a loading area. Councilman Breazeal responded
that it was the responsibility of the Women's Club to set aside a certain amount of parking for
vendors, not a municipal responsibility.
City Manager Martin stated, in answer to Mr. Poston's complaint, the matter has been
investigated. The police report indicates a substantial altercation occurred between the police
officer and Mr. Poston with improper language on Mr. Poston's part. Mr. Poston has been told
he can file a citizen complaint and can appeal the impounding of his car. This matter is between
Mr. Poston and the police department and is not a matter before City Council. The Council took
no action.
9. NEW BUSINESS
A. PUBLIC HEARING: LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT BLOCK GRANT #2000 -LB -VX -1238
PROPOSED USE OF FUNDS

outlined in the staff' report, these funds are to be utilized for the youth resource deputy in
accordance with the requirements of the grant.
Mayor Souder opened the public hearing and invited all those wishing to speak to come forward.
Hearing no requests to speak, either for or against this issue, the Mayor declared the public
hearing closed.

in the staff report, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Wilson and unanimously carried.
