The matter of the proposed extension of Baldwin Avenue came before the Council. Councilman Camphouse read in full the following report stating it was the thinking of the majority of the Committee ap- pointed to consider the matter: 1 - That if eminent domain proceedings are to be taken, they be limited to one parcel of realty and one owner, if this is possible and feasible. This would mean the extension of Baldwin Avenue solely through the Lowell property. Because, regretably, condemnation now appears to be necessary, it seems both to be poor strategy and questionable economy to condemn two separate parcels of land, belonging to two different owners, with potential severance damages apparent as to each of the two parcels involved, if equal road facilities may be obtained by proceedings only against one owner and one property. 2 - That as soon as reports and recommendations can be ob- tained from public agencies concerned, such as the State Division of Highways, County Road Department and the Arboretum, the Engineer compile a comprehensive re- port as to the feasibility of such a route, its adequacy and cost of construction exclusive of acquisition costs. 3 - That if such report from the City Engineer indicated such method of extension to be feasible, adequate and acceptable, the City Attorney be instructed and authorized to institute condemnation proceedings of the property required, or that special counsel be employed for such purpose. 1} - That the Attorney who shall conduct the eminent domain proceedings recommend the appraiser to be employed in connection with the condemnation proceedings, as the attorney and the appraiser must work together as a unit. K,r9'sb 4r- Jr1, - --J 5 - That the appraiser selected appraise the portion of property actually required for.the extended roadway, the entire parcel of which such portion is a part, and the severance damage to the remainder if only a portion be taken. 6 - That the matter thereafter be pressed diligently to com- pletion. The taking of these preliminary steps, and even the filing of eminent domain proceedings, will not preclude the possibility of continued further negotiations, and such negotiations may be resum- ed at any time prior to judgment, if the opportunity presents itself. However, the taking of such formal action will at least set a dead- line, before which negotiations must be completed. I make the foregoing recommendations with full realization that the exercise of the power of eminent domain is drastic, and should be exercised only as a last resort. I am convinced, however, that every reasonable and prudent means have been explored to avoid condemnation, and that, if Baldwin Avenue is to be extended, steps leading up to such condemnation must be taken at this time. Motion by Councilman Dennis, that the report of the Committee which was appointed gate this, and that the steps as outlined in Mr. Camphouse be taken, that the preliminary Engineer and City Attorney, with the thought condemnation as soon as feasible.

He suggested the Health and Sanitation Commission recommend what should be included in the definition "household pets ", and whether or not they actually intend to require a permit for each animal kept other than a house- hold pet, and also he suggested that the Health and Sanitation Com- mission consider that a permit be required for animals such as live- stock and other small animals and fowl in excess of the number per- mitted by Ordinance in Zone R -1.

Councilman Dow stated he is in favor of starting the sales tax January 1st, as the City has a rather heavy need for the money; that the City is going to have to put in a sales tax whether they want it or not; that the extra 1¢ is not going to make much differ- ence the first three months, that almost 90% of the Cities areound us have enacted it; that he had not been in favor of a sales tax be- fore, but think this basis is somewhat different; that there is go- ing to be a sales tax and starting January 1st will not hurt anyone and will be a big help to the City. Mayor Hulse stated that he felt as far as the merchants are concerned, they are reconciled; that if the tax goes in the first of the year they will accept it and do their best to comply with all requirements.

You will re- call a number of months ago we sent back to the Planning Commission the "island" which was up for rezoning, and which we denied with- out prejudice. We suggested there might be some study given as to the activities which might be put into that area. �1' e Planning Commission discussed at that time what they called a CM Zone. I have expressed myself to you and at the meeting last week, at the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce and the Council, that there were some uses not presently covered by C zones, such as insurance companies, show rooms, sales rooms, etc., or where there is an office force of from 20 to 100. It is my proposal to you that we again request the Planning Commission to again reconsider a CM Zone in the Ordinance, which would provide for certain of these industrial type industries along the lines I have just mentioned, to make that zoning avail- able to interested people that may become interested, possibly on Live Oak or elsewhere, and also to have them in addition give a complete report from the Planning Consultant, together with their recommendations, as to exactly what we can do to Live Oak from Santa Anita Avenue to Sixth Avenue, and on Baldwin, if and when the pressure becomes greater for changing zoning, which I feel sure will come eventually, and to consider again an architectural over- lay to protect the City as to kind of buildings and heights. In other words, to consider a complete study of Live Oak, Baldwin Ave., Duarte Road and Foothill, and the South side of Huntington Drive, for a pattern of where we are going so we are not confronted with these continual variances. Said motion was seconded by Councilman Dennis and unan- imously carried. A discussion was had as to the proposed cost of the new Police Building, and the addition to the City Hall, the total to be $332 000 00, and that the Architects are entitled to receive the sum of 1750.00 for their services.

Foothill Blvd. Motion by Councilman Dow, that theCity Council approve this request and refund three - quarters of the prorated amount of the un- used portion of Mr. Smith's 1956 business license. Said motion was seconded by Councilman Phillips and carried on Roll Call as follows: AYES: Councilmen Camphouse, Dennis, Dow, Hulse and Phillips NOES: None The City Manager read a report on the status of the collection of rubbish in the City of Arcadia, as follows: "I wish to make a few remarks concerning the rubbish situation. It will be recalled that, at the request of the City Council, I appeared last fall before the Assembly Interim Committee on City and County Government. TUe following remarks were introduced into the records of that committee concerning the garbage and rubbish collection situation in Arcadia: On November 21, 1944, the Arcadia City Council adopted Ordinance No-524 which in general prohibited the collection of garbage within the City other than by the City forces or by a person under contract with the City. Basically, the Ordinance specifies the times and places of garbage collection, the prices to be paid, the con- struction and location of containers, and other related matters. Since January 1, 1945, we have had but one garbage collector under a series of contracts and amended contracts, which have provided in general for the payment of from $125.00 to $175.00 a month to the City and have provided also for the collection of tin cans and bottles from the residences where garbage is collected. Formal bids have never been taken for such contracts but the rates charged and services rendered have been reviewed from time to time and compared with the rates and services of other communities. Throughout this entire time the City Council has been quite satisfied not only with the rates charged, but particularly with the type of service rendered. Private enterprise has thus far effectively perform- ed the task of garbage, refuse and rubbish collection and 3 6 y� 3._fa� disposal and until further restrictions on the feeding of garbage to swine and the impact from the Air Pollution Control District regulations are felt by private enterprise, and reflected in increased costs to the public, the Arcadia City Council is of a mind to continue under the present system. All members of the City Council and two committees appoint- ed by the Council, have worked long and diligently studying the pro- blems or rubbish collection in this County. Research has been-con- ducted by the City Controller, City Attorney and City Manager. The committee on rubbish has gone on record as favoring the collection of garbage and rubbish by private enterprise. Historically, there are three ways of handling this service: a. By the municipality b. By various and sundry private companies c. By one private enterprise In recommending against the collection of rubbish as a muni- cipal service, we are guided by a broad general underlying conviction; that government should not undertake those services which are being performed efficiently and economically by private industry. We are also influenced by a more immediate and practical concern; that the overall cost to the consumers is less and the service is better, in those fields which are not traditionally germane to government, when such tasks are undertaken by private business. We mu]d therefore, recommend in favor of one reliable private concern to handle the collection of rubbish in this city. I would like to introduce into the record a letter from the Arcadia Chamber of Commerce, dated June 6, 1955: "ARCADIA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE "It is out understanding yhat due to the new law regulating backyard burning, negotiations are now under way to secure the ser- vices of a reliable collection agency. I have been authorized to write this letter supporting our local business man, Paul Thorsen, owner of A -1 Disposal Company, located at 215 E. Huntington Drive. Mr. Thorsen has been an active civic porter of local enterprise and an asset to the equipment and handling of disposal material is age operation in this type of business. We urge you to give Mr.'Thorsen every and if we can give you any further information please call on us. ,corker, a strong sup - City of Arcadia. His far above the aver - consideration possible regarding Mr. Thorsen, Sincerely yours, (SIGNED) Ed Beaty Secretary - Manager" In recommending in favor of the A -1 Disposal Company of Arcadia as the agency to handle the collection of rubbish, I am guided by several considerations; this company has an annual pay- roll in Arcadia of about $80,000. Most of its employees live in this City or in this vicinity. The company is now serving about 95 percent of all local establishments. It participates in civic enterprises. It has been operating a reliable type of service with good equipment and has functioned under control by the City as to rates. The arrangement with this company would assure the City con- tinued operation for a long period of time with adequate insurance and fair protection to our citizens. It offers a complete billing service, relieving the City of costly commercial and accounting functions. It is also significant to Observe that the company has access to adequate dump sites owned by San Gabriel Valley op- erators, at Peck Road and Arrow Highway and elsewhere. The site at Peck Road can be used by the public and ultimately will con- stitute a land reclamation project. It is my recommendation that this City's present contract - for the collection of residential garbage with the A -1 Disposal Company be broadened to include an exclusive provisions for re- sidential rubbish collection, under the terms of our recent Ordin- ance. Many Cities have agreements of this kind and in general they are working out very satisfactorily. The A -1 Disposal Company owns and operates seventeen trucks. The company anticipates there will be an increase of at least 33 -1/3 percent in combustible rubbish. It expects and is pre- pared to increase its rolling stock to meet the needs and growth of this City. It owns and maintains a new modern, centrally located business office and truck site at 215 E. Huntington Drive - a plant of one and a half acres in size, which includes garages and paint shops.

The Mayor announced that Item No. 31, which has to do with the communication received from the Farm Bureau requesting no action be taken on the adoption of certain Ordinances regulating poultry, etc., would be moved up to Item No. 2 on the Agenda. Motion by Councilman Dow, seconded by Councilman Camphouse and unanimously carried, that the Minutes of the regular meeting of March 6, 1956, and the adjourned regular meeting of March 8, 1956, be and the same are hereby approved. The communication of the Farm Bureau was read, which advised they had been appealed to by a group of Arcadia Poultrymen for assistance in connection with the 'proposed adoption of certain regulatory Ordinances, and requesting action on this problem be deferred until additional material be submitted and studied. The Mayor announced those interested in the audience and who wished to speak would be heard. Mr. A. Becker, Attorney, representing certain group of Poultrymen, addressed the Council, advising they had appealed to the Farm Bureau for some assistance, and requesting a further delay for the submission of additional information.

There being no further protests, the Mayor thereupon declared the hearing closed. Councilman Phillips, expressing the feeling of the Council regarding the matter, stated that the three poposed Ordinances to regulate the poultry ranches, were a part of a four part program, the fourth being a survey of the City by the Vector Control Bureau of the State; that if there are other factors involved than poultry, the Council stands ready to implement or improve the situation. A complete tape recording of the proceedings of this meeting regarding poultry ranches and the fly situation, is on file in the office of the City Clerk. The City Attorney stated he had prepared and submitted to each of the Councilmen three Ordinances, one amending the business license Ordinance to specifically include the business of raising birds, poultry, rabbits, etc., but that horses were omitted, the second amends theregulation of the removal of manure, and the third the arbitrary cut -off of poultry raising in Arcadia in 1961. He also stated it would be necessary to consider the rates to be specified for coin- operated vending machine, as Section 47 was rewritten to correct inconsistencies resulting from prior amendments.
