41 Bobby and Geraldine Smith
42
43 Mr. and Ms. Bobby Smith, 1109 North I Street, presented the Council a petition regarding taxes and the
44 reassessment. Mr. Smith explained that his assessed valuation went from 1,450.00 to 4,970.00 and
45 wondered if that meant his taxes were raised because on last years rate his taxes would go up over 600.00.
46
47 President Hutton explained that the formula for setting the tax rate on the new assessments had not been
48 I established yet.
49
50 Mr. Smith said he had met with the firm doing the reassessment, and both city and county council and all
51 deny being responsible,yet they set the budgets.

53 Mr. Smith also addressed the Redevelopment Commission and that it posed a serious problem for people in
54 blighted areas. He said that information about the actions of the old Redevelopment Commission were
55 never given to the people of Richmond and that the citizens deserved to know where the funds were spent
56 and how.
57
58 Mr. Smith said he had a problem with Redevelopment money being used for a civic center and wondered
59 how that would help housing.
60
61 President Hutton tried to explain to Mr. Smith that tax rates were not established by the City, but rather by
62 the County and the Council was not trying to pass the buck.
63
64 Councilmember Paust pointed out that there are also new deductions available with the reassessment,those
65 being 2,500. the first year, 2,000. the second year and also there would be interest ratios deducted along
66 with the Homestead Credit which could make the tax payments lower than they are now.

15 field of education,seconded by Councilmember Morris and on unanimous voice vote the motion was carried.

19 D.A.R.E. Program
20
21 Captain John Farmer of the Richmond Police Department spoke to the Council about the Drug Abuse
22 Resistance Education (DARE) program. Captain Farmer explained the program was developed by the Los
23 Angeles Police and School systems. He said they felt it was not enough to just teach kids to say no to drugs,
24 but to teach them ways and how to say no. He stated this was a seventeen week class, one day a week
25 and is aimed at the fifth graders.
26
27 Captain Farmer said the Richmond Police Department has four certified officers and while they are in the
28 schools they also visit with other class levels and the program is an effort to help direct children in the
29 formative years before middle school.
30
31 He said the program does not say drugs are bad, but teaches life skills to say no to other temptations also
32 and to prepare for life encounters. Captain Farmer told the Council that the program has great credibility and
33 is taught in every military base school and Los Angeles statistics prove that the DARE students have a lower
34 incident of drug usage and other social problems. He said the issue of drugs is addressed through this
35 problem by training better and putting the checks with the demand and not the supply.
36
37 President Hutton asked if this would be an on-going program and Captain Farmer said if would be forever if
38 the budget will allow it. He explained the training was provided free from the City of Los Angeles with only
39 the cost of travel and meals as expenses. He said the Richmond Community Schools also assisted with the
40 expenses and it will be offered to every fifth grade child in the city.
41
42 Boston Pike Junk Problem-Mr.Atkins
43
44 Mr. J.F. Atkins, 2506 Boston Pike, addressed the Council regarding problems with junk on Boston Pike. He
45 pointed out that the old Riley School was now used as junk yard and another property with a Garage that has
46 junk cars that is also an eyesore. Mr. Atkins expressed his concern with this type of activity being allowed
47 when Boston Pike is an often used entry way into the City, particularly from the Airport.
48
49 Mr. Dooley said he had a series of complaints in that area last year and did send inspectors back out today.
50 He said the properties are in violation of two mile fringe jurisdiction and he felt it would take prosecution in
51 Court to resolve the issue.
52
53 Councilmember Elstro added that they were also filling up the ravine behind Riley School with junk.
54
55 Chimney Dangers-James Childress
56
57 Mr. James Childress of South 13th Street complained to the Council about a neighbor with a chimney that
58 drops hot cinders on his roof. He said he had spoken with the Fire Department and the Building Inspectors
59 and there are no regulations in the City to control chimneys being safe. Mr. Childress said he would like to
60 see the Council draw up a plan to check out problems and have them fixed to eliminate hot cinders coming
61 from them and being a hazard.
62
63 Councilmember Brookbank asked if he has approached his neighbors about putting a screen over the
64 chimney and Mr. Childress said he has spoken with the owner of the property and was told by the property
65 owner that he hoped his insurance was good.

1 Fire Chief James Sticco told the Council that he had researched the problem and there were no housing or
2 building codes addressing it. He said they can only try and educate the public to get fireplaces inspected.
3
4 Councilmember Elstro asked what the Council could do and Councilmember Morris asked Chief Sticco to
5 contact other Fire Departments and see how other cities handle the problem.
6
7 Mr. Olin Moore, told the Council he was aware of spark arrestors to prevent fly ash and that maybe Council
8 could adopt a proposal on that.
9
10 Councilmember Hankinson stated that if Council could mandate smoke detectors, possibly they could
11 require spark arrestors.
12
13 Councilmember Hankinson returned to the problem on Boston Pike and asked Mr. Dooley why we continued
14 to allow violations to occur. Mr. Dooley said the only remedy open to the Plan Commission is to go to Court.
15 He said usually with a complaint a period of time is allowed to correct the problem and then the legal
16 department handles it in court.
17
18 Councilmember Lundy asked if the house on South 13th with the chimney problem was in violation of any
19 codes and Mr. Dooley said it had been inspected and there was no code violations, but a solution to this
20 problem could be added to the housing code.
21
22 Liberty Avenue Blight-Mr.Werner
23
24 Mr. Henry Werner, 1635 Liberty Avenue, also complained about ordinances not being enforced. Mr.Werner
25 said he had worked with the Planning Department for the past three or four years regarding greenhouses on
26 Liberty Avenue. He said that now the EG Hill Greenhouse is being mowed, but the old Bullerdick
27 Greenhouses are in a deteriorated condition and is a blight for the area. Mr. Werner also showed concern
28 about South L and Liberty Avenue and a"jungle"where a greenhouse was torn down at this location and the
29 fact that it causes a traffic hazard getting onto Liberty Avenue.
30
31 Mr. Dooley said he did not recall talking with Mr.Werner, but will pursue this if it is a problem.
32
33 Councilmember Elstro added that there is old equipment sitting at 1028 Liberty Avenue that needs to be
34 addressed and also vehicles stored at the body shop at the I Street intersection.
35
36 Mr. Dooley said there was no time limit for vehicles to be stored at body shops while awaiting repairs.
37
38 Council/Mayor Relations
39
40 Councilmember Paust addressed the Council regarding the declining relationship between the Council and
41 the Mayor the past few months. Councilmember Paust said they must first recognize there is a problem and
42 there is a problem or they would not be in court.
43
44 Councilmember Paust said roles must be defined and he felt that the Mayor it the administrator and the
45 Council is the policy maker, the Mayor is the Chief Executive Officer and the Council is the Board of
46 Directors. He said that many times the Council feels they should be the Chief Executive Officer because
47 they do not trust the Mayor, but that Common Council has also broken their trust by revealing information
48 from the Mayor's Office.
49
50 Councilmember Paust said there needs to be a dialogue and with the open door laws that is sometimes
51 difficult and full discussion does not take place, but the way we work together effects the need of the
52 community.
53
54 Councilmember Paust said that the Council should attend retreats and seminars and government related
55 conferences and if they can learn to show respect then they can communicate.
56
57 Councilmember Paust suggested that a committee be formed with a representative from each political party
58 to meet with the Mayor and act as liaison between the Mayor and Council,thereby allowing all to benefit and
59 grow.
60
61 President Hutton commented that it was work a try and suggested the parties caucus to appoint their
62 member and report back.
