WORK STUDY SESSION Rose Parade Float Status Re~ort The City Manager introduced Mr. Hal Gosse, the Chair of the Committee for the City's 1986 Rose Parade entry. Mr. Gosse informed Council that the 1986 Rose Parade th~me would be "Celebration of Laughter," and the suggested thsme for the City's entry would be "Friday on the Freeway." Artist renditions of the proposed depiction of the "Friday on the Free~ay" theme were presented. Mr. Gosse explained two lanes of the Santa Aha freeway would be depicted, congested with cars and trucks representing a cross section of Southern California people and life-styles on a 65' X 18' float, whose construction costs were pro- jected to be approximately $80,000. He also indicated the Cor~nittee intended to increase the participation of the City's school-aged children (K-12) in all aspects of this project, in order to generate the maxim~ sense of community identity with the 1986 entry. Goverrm~ental Cable Implementation Plan The Executive Director of Conmunications and Marketing highlighted elements of the Governmental Cable Impl~entation Plan doc~ent which was previously provided to each Councilmember. She stressed the advantages to the City to having access to Cable T.V., pointing out that the more cities co[~nunicate with their citizens, the more citizens get involved in city affairs. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 199 MAY 20, 1985 The Director explained that in addition to improving cor~nunications with citizens, CATV could be used to inform citizens of City services and programs at hours convenient to the viewer, and that funding for such activity is currently available as a result of the franchise agreement the City has with Group W. The Executive Director of Cor~u- nications and Marketing indicated that the program required three full-time positions (which had previously been approved by Council) for which recruitments were underway. She noted the City would ini- tially broadcast 20 hours per week when in full operation. Councilmembers pointed out that scme of the policies in the planning docament needed to be more clearly defined, progra~ning would have to be exciting to maintain viewership, and the City would need an aggressive marketing effort to make people aware of the CATV programs. The City Manager suggested that Councilmembers thoroughly review the written plan and prepare their co~ments for a future meeting when he would bring the impl~nentation back to th~ to consider for adoption. Refuse Collection Issue The City Manager informed Councilm~mbers that negotiations were going on between the trash haulers with which the City contracts and the Teamsters Union. He noted that the trash haulers contract with their employer expired at midnight, May 21, 1985, and that if issues were not resolved between the parties involved, a strike could occur. The Manager indicated he would keep Councilmembers informed as the situa- tion progressed. Corridor Fee Issue The Executive Director of the Public Services Agency presented alternative configurations of assessment areas which would be utilized to generate development fees for the Eastern Foothill and San Joaquin Corridors. He suggested that the City would benefit more frc~ an extension of the 57 Freeway through the City and described an assess- ment area which could generate development fees for this alternative corridor. The Mayor reminded Councilme~bers of the wide scope of transportation issues which impact the City because of its geographic location, and urged th~ to consider the issue of transportation cor- ridors as more than just the Eastern Foothill and San Joaquin corri- dors.
