RESOLUTION NO. 3336
A,RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, DETERMINING
CERTAIN PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION TO BE OF
URGENT NECESSITY FOR THE PRESERVATION OF
LIFE, HEALTH AND PROPERTY.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, DOES
HEREBY DETERMINE AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That property has been tendered to the City
of Arcadia for street purposes for the extension of Arcadia Avenue
easterly from Baldwin" Avenue. That the City proposes to construct
within and upon said property a water main and fire hydrants, sani-
tary sewers and curbs, gutters and pavement. That the estimated
cost of constructing such improvements exceeds the sum of three
thousand dollars ($3,000.00).
SECTION 2. That said City Council deems such work to be
of urgent necessity for the preservation of life, health or property.
A declaration of the facts constituting such urgency are as follows:
Extensive improvement ,of properties in the immediate vicinity of
the proposed easterly extension of Arcadia Avenue have been completed
and either have been or soon will be put to full use, and still
further improvements are planned in the immediate future. That the
provision of additional fire service to such area is imperative and
access to the areas thus improved and areas immediately adjacent
thereto is imperative. That it is essential that the'improvements
proposed to ,be constructed by the City be completed in advance of
or as soon after the commencement of the forthcoming racing season'
as possible, for the reason that such construction will of necessity
interfere to a great measure with the flow of vehicular traffic on
Baldwin Avenue; that Baldwin~Avenue daily carries a very heavy flow
of vehicular traffic and the amount of vehicular traffic is increased
manifold during the racing,season at the Los Angeles Turf Club for

the reason that Baldwin Avenue is one of the main traffic arteri-
als to and from the Los Angeles Turf Club properties. Jhat the time
required to call for bids and to award contracts in compliance with
Section 1109 of the City Charter would result in delaying such con-
struction an~ causing it to be done during a major portion of the
forthcoming racing season commencing December 26, 19600
SECTION 3. That for the foregoing reasons the City Manager
is hereby authorized to cause aforesaid proposed work to be done
without advertising for bids, upon the adoption of the within reso-
lution passed by at least four affirmative votes of the members of
this Council.
SECTION~. The City Cle~k shall certify to the adoption
of this resolution.
