City Manager Molendyk clarified that this has been a City sponsored event for a few years; and last year staff was asked to work to increase the program and participation. This car club was approached because it was felt they could facilitate the increased program; unfortunately, they felt the beer garden was essential to the program and chose not to participate.

He further advised that he doesn't understand why Redevelopment Agency funds are being committed when we have no commitment from any builder to build in this area or confirm that it is buildable. City Attorney Harper clarified that this item is reaffirming bonds which have been sold. He further clarified that this action does not increase the tax burden, however the City and Agency are obligated to indicate specific projects in order to receive the funds. He explained that the City has not made a specific decision in this area, however, sufficient planning is underway to allow for commitment of funds and this would be the best guess at this time.

Chanqe Orders for Curb. Gutter. Sidewalk & Pedestrian Ramo Replacement Pro ram and Miscellaneous Street Improvements = Grand Terrace Construction, Inc. (F:146.1) Councilman Alongi questioned why the City is running into so many change orders and whether they are caused by afterthoughts. Public Services Director Tecca explained that this project has six additions to the original contract, because at the time it was bid unit costs that were requested. He detailed the changes orders as follows: Change Order #1 - Fog Seal on Lakeshore Drive was not anticipated. Change Order #2 - Demolition & Grading along Main Street adjacent to City Park and in front of Gearhardt's Garage to continue with the downtown theme. Change Order #3 - Added paving of streets in the Country Club Heights area. Change Order #4 - Deleted from original unit costs. Change Order #5 - Additional slurry seal of streets, due to low unit costs. Change Order #6 - Grading and improvements for Lakeshore Drive at Railroad Canyon Road including wheelchair ramps, overlay and striping. Councilman Alongi commented on the items he felt should have been included originally such as fog seal, and requested that all future bids include everything. He expressed concern with Change Order #2 because these improvements have been in place for many years and were still fine. He stressed the importance of a complete original bid, particularly where the needs are visible. He advised that he would have the same concerns on Item #14 of this agenda. Councilwoman Cherveny commented on her understanding of Council Policy requiring consideration of Change Orders over $10,000. She questioned the need for consideration of change orders when they are after the fact. Councilman Dominguez commented on the system for handling the project based on the amount budgeted, and on situations requiring substantial changes to funded projects. PAGE EIGHT - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - MAY 12, 1992 Mayor Washburn clarified that many after the fact change orders are based on input from the Public Works Committee and timing of the projects. City Attorney Harper clarified that most change orders are in advance of the work being done, however in this case the original bid had the understanding that more work could be done based on the costs. He also clarified that another possible type of change order would be due to increased costs over the bid amount which the Council would also have the opportunity to approve or deny. MOVED BY ALONGI, SECONDED BY DOMINGUEZ AND CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE TO APPROVE THE CHANGE ORDERS AS PRESENTED. 14. Chan4e Order for Lakeshore Drive/Robb Road Improvement Pro.iect - R.A. Ruiz.

Aopeal of Condemnation Action = 505 Minthorn Street. (F:21.1) City Manager Molendyk explained that this property is under abatement proceedings due to debris and hazardous conditions. PAGE NINE - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - MAY 12, 1992 A video was presented to show Council why the building is being abated. Harry Halstead, 1000 Wilshire, Los Angeles, explained that the video was taken in February and at that time he did not have control of the property. Clean up has begun and he feels there is value in this building and he knows that substantial improvements are needed to bring it to code. He requested that Council give him time to improve the property on behalf of the estate. City Attorney Harper clarified that the recommendation of staff is to deny the appeal and issue the final notice of abatement. He explained that either the permits be pulled in 30 days or demolition would begin. Councilwoman Cherveny asked Mr. Halstead what kind of an extension of time he was requesting. Mr. Halstead stated that due to the economy and limited funds, the process will be slow. Councilman Dominguez inquired whether Mr. Halstead is ready to pull permits. He clarified that this action would allow 30 days to pull the permits and the necessary amount of time to implement the repairs. Councilman Winkler asked if Council could change the time frame to 90 days rather than 30 days. City Attorney Harper explained that as a practical matter the property which is in the abatement process is required to pull permits and this requires that a design be done by an engineer and action be taken. He also explained that there has been a formal hearing on this property and at that time the code violations of the building were presented. Mayor Washburn stated that if Council agrees, 60 days could be authorized. Councilman Alongi asked what would be required of Mr. Halstead to pull a permit. Community Development Manager Shear explained that at the present time the structure is wide open and transients and children can make entry. There are deteriorated retaining walls which are a safety hazard and must be removed, along with a sub-standard addition to the structure which must be removed. Councilman Alongi asked if this would include plumbing and electrical. Community Development Manager Shear stated that the plumbing and electrical have been stripped and in order to reinstitute se"rvice a licensed contractor would be needed. Councilman Alongi stated that he felt that the building should be brought up to Code in all ways and not left to the new buyer to make those repairs. He further stated that he is not opposed to granting 60 days, but clarified that it is not something that Mr. Halstead can just walk into City Hall and pull a permit, he must meet all the necessary requirements to bring the building up to Code. City Attorney Harper stated that this abatement is to make the structure safe and structurally sound and this is what the permits are for. If he brings in a tenant there will be no certificate of occupancy until the building is safe for habitation by workers. He further explained that this building is a health and safety concern and the structure is unsound. Mayor Washburn added that Mr. Halstead could pulled a demolition permit as a third choice. MOVED BY WINKLER, SECONDED BY CHERVENY AND CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE TO APPROVE STAFF RECOMMENDATION TO DENY THE APPEAL AND DIRfCT STAFF TO ISSUE THE SECOND AND FINAL NOTICE, GIVING SIXTY (60J DAYS fOR THE OWNER TO ACQUIRE THE NECESSARY PERMITS TO EITHER REHABILITATE OR DEMOLISH THE STRUCTURES.
