A petition opposing the relocation of the Rescue Mission to the
<br />Carpenters Hall in Santa Anita, with approximately 851 signatures,
<br />presented by Lydia Morales, was received and filed on the unani-
<br />mously carried 7:0 motion of Councilman Garthe, seconded by Coun-
<br />cilman Yamamoto.
<br />
<br />Council discussed their philosophical opinions regarding the
<br />relocation of the Mission.
<br />
<br />Two motions proposed by Councilman Yamamoto, one to support the
<br />opposition of the community and instruct Staff to stop the reloca-
<br />tion of the Rescue Mission to the Santa Nita Community and to study
<br />further, if need be, a future location for the Rescue Mission;
<br />and another, to support the Community of Santa Nita and instruct
<br />Staff to stop the relocation of the Mission to West Fifth Street,
<br />died for lack of seconds.
<br />
<br />Councilman Bricken's motion, seconded by Councilman Ward, to
<br />instruct the Staff of the Community Redevelopment Agency to
<br />immediately meet with the Staff of the Mission to examine the
<br />alternatives to relocation as presently proposed, and to come
<br />back to Council with a suitable plan for such relocation, includ-
<br />ing whatever modifications are necessary, to make the move more
<br />presentable to the community, failed to carry on a 3:4 vote.
<br />Councilmen Brandt, Garthe, Yamamoto, and Ortiz voted against
<br />the motion, with Councilmen Ward, Bricken and Mayor Evans voting
<br />in favor.
<br />
<br />Councilman Ortiz' motion to adopt an emergency ordinance to impose
<br />a moratorium on mission uses in the C1 and C2 zones until the
<br />matter is resolved died for lack of a second.
<br />
<br />Councilman Brandt's motion to decline to take any action, seconded
<br />by Councilman Garthe, failed to carry on a 3:4 vote. Councilmen Yama-
<br />moto, Ortiz, Bricken and Mayor Evans voted against the motion,
<br />with Councilmen Ward, Brandt and Garthe voting in favor.
<br />

<br />
<br />Council declared a recess
<br />at 9:55 P.M., and recon-

<br />The Director of Public Works, John Stevens, summarized his report
<br />dated June 29, 1977, advising that the Water Rate Study for 1977-
<br />78 indicates a need for an average 13% increase in water rates to
<br />raise an additional $410,635 in revenues. He also stated that the
<br />increase would cost the average homeowner 70¢ more per month; and
<br />that a reduction in the lifeline rate, for those who use 1,000
<br />cubic feet or less during the two-month billing cycle, from $2.70
<br />to $2.00 per month is also recommended.
