Eichele, was read as follows: "..please be advised that in our opinion the claim is entirely without legal merit. A City incurs no liability from the exercise of purely governmental functions, unless legislation expressly creates such liability. The operation of a Building Department by a City is purely a governmental function for the protection of the health and welfare of the people of the City, and there is no statute in this State subjecting the City to liability resulting from mis- takes that may be made by members of the Building Department in issuing permits. In our opinion you cannot lawfully spend City �0o funds to pay any portion of the sum requested. We should perhaps point out further that under S9'ation 11114 of the City Charter "claims should be approved or rejected in writing by order of the City Council and the dato- ,.thereof given. Failure to com- plete the action apprbvi '�hr rejecting any claim or demand within sixty days from the day the same is filed with the City Clerk shall be deemed a rejection thereof."

Mr. L. B. Knox spoke against portions of the Planning Commission recommendations. DeWitt Manning spoke on behalf of the Woodruff property owners and spoke against the recommendation of the Planning Commission on the following grounds: 1 - He questioned the legality of granting a variance when a zone change was requested and notice of hearings on zone change were given. 2 - On the ground that the change of use might be upheld and the conditions imposed held unenforceable with resultant damage to the neighborhood. 3 - That by zoning a portion PR -3 as recommended, multiple story, multiple family apartments could be built without control of off - street parking. 4 - Upon the ground that approval of the recommendation had been sought from the residents predicated upon the development of the area in accordance with a design presented to them, the ac- ceptance of the Planning Commission recommendation would not and could not insure development of the area in accordance with that plan, and that compliance with the plan could only be insured by the granting of a variance in which development according to a specified plan was a requisite. Mr. John Haddock spoke and stated that to his knowledge no one opposed the opening of Sandra to Santa Anita, but did oppose the opening of a street from Sandra Avenue extended to open into Las Tunas, for the reason that truck traffic would be inclined to use such opening into Sandra Ave., and the people using the shopping district would use Sandra Ave. as an access road.
