CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA
REGULAR MEETING
MARCH 5, 1968
The City Council of the City of Arcadia, California, met in regular
session in the Council Chamber of the Arcadia City Hall on March 5,
1968, at 8 p.m.
Rev. H. Warren Anderson, Arcadia' Community Church of God.
Mayor Robert J. Considine
Present: . Councilmen Arth, Butterworth,_ Forman, Rage, Considine
Absent: None
The Minutes of the Regular Meeting of February 20 and the Adjourned
Regular Meeting of February 26 were APPROVED on' MOTION by Councilman
Hage, seconded by Councilman Arth and carried unanimously,
Due to the large number of persons in attendance1expressing an
interest in an extension of the April 6 deadline for the removal
of business signs, Council considered t~e matter out of,agenda
sequence.
For the record, be it noted that requests for an extension had
been received from: <!.'~:"" 'i "It l
Walter Gockley, Chairman,ad hoc committee,
for sign ordinance'revisions
"..J . .,:
James Harvey, President, Chamber of C~~~r~~,
L. E. Beauchamp, President, West Arcadia Business
and Professional Association
C. L. Hoke, President, Huntington M~ors, Inc'
'-,
Mr. Gockley advised that suggestions have been. prepared and are,
" ;
ready for submission at any time so designated by the City
Council. It was the consensus of the Council'that they be
presented formally to the Planning Commission at its next
regular meeting and that an extension of 120 days from thi's
date be granted. ,It was noted by Mayor, Considine that the
City Council is not specifically", indicating at this time that
it will change the sign ordinance, but is anxious to review the
recommendations and those forthcoming from the Planning
Commission; that they will be given every consideration. The
120 day extension is approximately 90 days beyond the April 6
deadline.
At, the Council meeting of February 26, representatives of the
two firms which had submitted proposals for a city franchise
on a community antenna installation presented detailed accounts
of service and rates. Council indicated concern as to the
reaction of said companies to a proposa'l protecting customers in
the event of discontinuation of service, either at the instigation
of the company or the city, to protect,the residents while a new
- 1 -
3-5-68
18:7199
franchise organization was being selected; the second concern,
which applies primarily to the Foothill Cable TV Corporation,
was that the cash offered to the city might be of less interest
to the city than a reduction in the charges to be made. Council
asked the officials of the corporation to meet with city staff
to discuss these two points.
The City Manager advised that Foothill had offered two reductions
in rates; 1) the charge for an underground connection reduced
from $39.95 to $19.95 and 2) reduction in the monthly service
charge for an additional outlet in a residence from $2 to $1 per
month. The company had also submitted a proposal which in I'
effect would allow the city, in the event of discontinuance of
service,to continue the operation for up to 9 months during which
period a new franchise organization would be selected. He also
noted that the representative of the other firm, International
Cable TV, had indicated a willingness to accept such a provision.
National TV Cable was also contacted in like manner. He continued
that reactions had been received from persons now being served
who are satisfied with their service and object to an increase in
rate. He suggested notifying these persons when proceedings reach
the public hearing stage.
Dan Jones, owner and operator of the Arcadia TV Company at 129 E.
Huntington Drive, stated in part. that ~is interest was purely
personal in that he feels that the residents are entitled to the
best television reception possible; tRat he had checked with
his.. service department, which sends servicemen into hundreds
of homes each week, and has been told that without doubt, Foothill
TV at the present time are giving the best service, better
pictures with less interruptiqn, with more channels and that its
customers are satisfied. He concluded,by stating that he was not
connected with any cable company in any, way.
The representative of the International Cable TV was handed a
copy of the proposed franchise agreement and studied it briefly.
He referred to the condition concerning default and read in full
a letter addressed to Mayor Considine &etting forth that should
his company be awarded the franchise and in the event it was
declared in default of the provisions, it would give the city
immediate possession of all of the facilities which it had
installed within the city, and would immediately execute any
and all documents necessary to make the transfer and if it
were using a head-in location outside the city it would furnish
uninterrupted high quality signal to the city free of charge
for one year; transfer would be without payment or any considera-
tion whatsoever to the company by the city. Rates were then
explored by International - the underground installation rate
remains at $5.95 and it was noted that in the original proposal
their charge for an additional outlet was 75~, a difference of I
25~ from Foothill. Areas now being served were enumerated and
it was stated in part that the basis of rate is determined by
the number of subscribers; that said company is in a position
to service large numbers of customers in San Gabriel Valley and
consequently its rates will be lower. Emphasis was placed by
the representative on the willingness and ability to render high
quality service and the award of ,the franchise to his company
was requested.
The Vice President of the Foothill TV Cable Company, nn answer
to an inquiry, stated in part that his. company would be willing
to abide by any language set forth in the agreement and would
guarantee continuation of service in the event of default as a
protection to subscribers against sudden loss of service for a
3-5-68
- 2 -
18:7200
period of some months. Although a remote possibility, he
commented that if the city could not get another franchisee
during the nine month period, the city would have to buy the
system - as distinguished from the offer made by International.
In answer to a query concerning the posBibility of lowering
the rates should a large number of subscribers be obtained, it
was stated that this is an unknown entity; that it has been the
history of the business that services continue to be added and
the rates are not normally increased. It was also noted that
the rates would be controlled by the city.
1
William Jackson, 1934 Wilson Avenue, stated in part that he was
extremely anKious to receive the best possible service and as
soon as possible; that he would be willing to pay more with
the guarantee of quality service.
Ed Hawkins, 1966 A1ta Oaks Drive, referred to underground
utilities and Mayor Considine advised that all new subdivisions
are required to install underground utilities; that hopefully
in due time all would be so constructed. Mr. Hawkins concluded
by ,asking for the best service available.
Mayor Considine then asked for the individual views of the
Councilmen.
Councilman Butterworth stated in part that council owes it to
the community to arrive at some conclusion; that the residents
are interested in quality and although the monthly charge pro-
posed by both companies is the same, from the evidence presented
he would favor awarding the franchise to Foothill TV Cable
Corporation.
Councilman Hage agreed; and commented that it was a difficult
decision to make; that he was not influenced by the company
which would ultimately have the. lowest rates nor which is the
largest; that he is more concerned with the quality of service
which is really all one has on which to base a decision.
Councilman Arth stated in part that the only basic difference
between the two companies is the 25~ or $3 per year difference in
the additional outlet charge; that he leaned toward International
because sufficient evidence has not been shown to him otherwise;
that in some minor checking the service has been satisfactory.
1
Councilman Forman observed that action taken at this meeting
would only provide for the holding of a public hearing; that
regardless of what company is named in the resolution, a
change could be made by Council after the hearing depending
on the evidence produced at that time as to quality and the
like; that persons actually receiving service at the present
time will have an opportunity to speak. He had no objection
to either company being so named, in the resolution.
Mayor Considine in presenting his views stated in part that it
must be assumed at this time that both companies are capable
of quality service; that the charge difference is minor; that
he was influenced somewhat by residents testifying as to high
quality of Foothill and the fact that Foothill is already
serving the city with a reasonable fee.
It was then MOVED by Councilman Butterworth that the franchise
for community antenna television installation and operation
be awarded to H & B Communications Corporation, a California
Corporation doing business under the name and style of Foothill
TV Cable Co (said corporation being a wholly owned subsidiary of

Resolution No. 3983 was adopted-later in the meeting.
Mayor Considine asked the representative of Foothill TV to supply
staff with a list of its customers and if possible to secure a
list from National TV, purpose b€ing to notify the residents
concerned of the forthcoming public hearing. .
Receiving notification that the'processing of applications for
1) Nu Way Rubbish Company, 2) Kas-Sol, Inc., and 3) Corregated
Fibre, Inc., and 4) Veron in Rubbish Service, had not been
completed, it was MOVED by Councilman Forman, seconded by.
Councilman Arth and carried unanimously, that the public hearings
be continued until the next regular meeting (March 19). (Hearings
open) .
. Mr. Veronin, one of the applicants, stated in part that his
equipment would meet the requirements through modernization
which is being done at the present timf.
Application of Kenneth C. Norman,proposed new owner of the City
Refuse Service Company, for Council permit to pick up rubbish
and garbage from residential, apartment, commercial and'
industrial areas. The City Manager advised that staff has
completed its investigation of the subject applicant and of his
ability to meet the city requirements and regulations. He
recommended approval subject to four conditions which in effect
would be: 1) that no stock, partnership- or other form of
financial interest or management participation shall be trans-
ferred to anyone other than the present owner, or seller, the
present buyer, his wife, his legal counsel, Latham and Watkins,
or his supervisor of operations,' Lloyd Brown, without prior
approval of the City Council and, suggested by Council, also
include transfers by anyone else, 2) the buyer shall not have
an automatic right to serve any territory not within the city
limits but which could be in the. future without prior approval
of the Council, 3) the buyer must post a performance bond and 4)
the buyer must agree to comply with all city and state laws,
failure to so do would be grounds for immediate cancellation of 1
the franchise subject to an appeal to the City Council.
Mayor Considine declared the hearing open and Henry Grivi, attorney
for Paul Thorsen, owner of City,Refuse Service Company, discussed
with Council the possibility and.. effect in the event of Mr. Norman's
death, or default by Mr.- Norman, in payments of purchase price or
whatever it might be, he observed that'neither the present or
proposed owner are attempting to keep the Council from having
control over the transfer of stock to persons who might be
objectionable. Reference was also made to machinery set forth
in the present contract whereby if there should be a permanent::

refusal to abide by the state and city 'laws the contract could
be terminated. . Exceptions were noted such as ordinary traffic
violations other than Where there might be a pattern of conduct
which would indicate irresponsibility. Mr. Grivi asked that he
be afforded the opportunity, of reviewing the language in the
contract. Council agreed.
No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on
'MOTION by Councilman Butterworth, seconded by Councilman Forman
and carried unanimously. Whereupon it was MOVED by Councilman
Forman that the transfer of the contract from Paul Thorsen,
owner of City Refuse Service. Company to Kenneth C. Norman be
APPROVED; that the concise wording of the document be legally
worked out consistent with council discussion.

It was noted that the Council has reviewed with the Board of
Directors of the Methodist Hospital, the master plan for
development. It was the consensus of the Council that the
Planning Commission should have an opportunity to also study
plans for increased,facilities and exp~nsion, whereupon it
was MOVED by Councilman Arth, seconded by Councilman Hage and,
carried unanimously that the Mas-ter Pl;1n be referred to ,the
Planning Commission for report hack as~soon as possible.
The City Manager advised that for some time discussion has been
held on the need of additional park facilities south of Duarte
Road; that the Board of Education now submit that there is
approximately l~ acres adjacent to the Baldwin Stocker Elementary
School (Lemon Avenue just west of Holly Avenue) which will not
be needed for some time; that it has been offered to the city
for $1 per year. He referred to an agreement between the two
jurisdictions for the improvement, maintenance and joint use of
property for school and recreational purposes thereon. He
explained the contents and note~ that funds are in the current
budget for improvements listed therein.
It was MOVED by Councilman Hage, seconded by Councilman Arth,
that the agreement be APPROVED. (THIS MOTION, LATER WITHDRAWN).
Councilman Butterworth observed.that he had not had an opportunity
to read the agreement thoroughly and in deference thereto the
motion and second were withdrawn. Inasmuch as there was no
urgency indicated the matter will be carried over until the next
regular council meeting (March 19).
The written resignation of Dr. Burtis E. Taylor from the Civil
Defense Board was accepted with regret. Dr. Taylor is leaving the
local school system as of June 1st. Inasmuch as it has been
customary to reserve one place on this board for the Superintendent
of Schools, it was MOVED by Councilman Forman, seconded by

be accepted with regret and that Dr. Taylor be asked to

and carried unanimously that the plans and specifications
for the reconstruction of the intersection of El Monte
and Norman Avenues be APPROVED and that the City Clerk be
and she is hereby authorized to advertise for bids. (Bids
to be returned March 18).
I
It was noted that the estimated cost of said improvement is
$5,280; that such costs are paid from,Capital Improvement
Project Funds; however, it is anticip~ed that the funds will
be recovered in the near future,~hen, rfsponsibility for the
damage has been ascertained between the contracting firms involved.
It was noted that a lot split of property at 121 E. Longden
Avenue (approved by Planning Commission on January 23, 1968)
creates a new parcel of land fronting on Arthur Avenue (1');
that the conditions of approval of the lot split have been
complied with. It was : MOVED by Councilman Forman, seconded
by Councilman Hage and carried unanimo~61y that the l' control
strip in Arthur Avenue (Lot Split 67-1~) be dedicated for street
purposes. (Resolution No. 3992"adopted, later in this meeting).
Inasmuch as the improvements in, Tract, No. 23972 (Highlander
Shopping Center on Foothill Boul~vard) have been completed in

The City Manager spoke to the matter of the request of the
Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration at First and Lemon
Avenues for permission to install directional signs on each
side of Santa Anita Avenue at Lemon Avenue and advised that
the need arises from the fact that the church is not located
on a major street; that two signs are recommended because
Santa An ita is a divided street which would reduce the
visibility of a single sign. It was suggested that Council
adopt a policy of approving signs of this nature only for
churches not located on a principal street.
,I
It was MOVED by Councilman Arth, seconded by Councilman
Butterworth and carried unanimously that permissi on be
granted the Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration (First
and Lemon Avenues) to locate two ,directional signs in the
