I 18:7209 MINUTES CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA REGULAR MEETING MARCH 19, 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 19, 1968, at 8 p.m. Rev. David M. Reed, Arcadia Congregational Church Mayor Robert J. Considine Present: Absent: Councilmen Arth, Butterworth, Forman, Hage, Considine None The Minutes of the regular meeting of March 5, 1968, were APPROVED on MOTION by Councilman Arth, seconded by Councilman Butterworth and carried unanimously. This being the time and place scheduled for hearing protests which had been filed with the City.Clerk prior to 8 p.m., Mayor Considine declared the hearing open. Whereupon the City Clerk advised that numerous protests had been received from property owners within the territory proposed to be annexed. With the assistance of the City Attorney, all names and addresses or property descriptions were publicly read pursuant to Government Code 35121. Following reading of approximately 580 such names, special counsel, James A. Nicklin, stated in part: "You are required by law to hear and pass upon all written protests to the annexation. The staff recommends that you continue the hearing of protests to some time on Friday of this week to enable the staff to compute the total assessed value of land within the annexation area and the total assessed value of land represented by the written protests heretofore filed by the owners of land in the annexation area. The staff report will indicate what protests appear to be valid and what ones they believe to be invalid together with the facts and reasons why they deem them invalid, together with the assessed valuation of the land only of all parcels thus involved. The City Council must make the final determination as to the validity and the invalidity of the various protests, and determine whether or not written protests have been filed with respect to a majority of the assessed valuation of land in the annexation area. If it determines that a majority protest has thus been made, the annexation proceedings are thereby terminated. The Council should then adopt a resolution determining that a majority protest has been made. If it determines that less than a majority protest has been made, the Council must set a date not less than ten days thereafter for the filing of supple- mental protests, and during that same period, withdrawals may likewise be filed.' 3-19-1968 - 1 - \ ~ '. \ \\0 J HEARING (Selma Rubbish Co. Permit DENIED) s\ ~ 18:7210 "At whatever date you set - and the staff would recommend your first regular meeting in April for that continued hearing - you make the final determination as to whether or not there is or is not a majority protest, and the Council must announce such determination by resolution. If it fails to adopt such a resolution within 30 days after such date, th~ Council is by law deemed to have adopted a resolution finding that a majority protest has been made. If the Council determines that a majority protest has not been made, it must adopt a resolution so declaring, for if it does not do so within 30 days, it would be deemed to have adopted a resolution declaring that a majority protest has been made.- I "The law contemplates a dual type of hearing, 1) the hearing and passing upon written protests filed against the annexation, and also a hearing on all objections to the calling of an el~ction within the annexation area. If protests are made by owners of a majority of the assessed valuation of land within th~ annexation area and the Council so finds and determines, th~ proceedings are thereby terminated and ~o useful purpose would be served in hearing otjections to the annexation election be~ause there will be no annexation election. If on the other hand, the Council determines that less than a majority written protest has been made with respect to the annexation, they then hear objections to the holding of the election and it is conceivable that the Council may be convinced for any number of reasons that the public interest would not be served by incurring th~ expense of a special election." "If you do not have a majority protest after the continued period and you so determine and you determine to call the election, then you, by resolution, fix an election date not less than 54 nor more than 75 days to be held within the area itself, and then the election procedures take over at that time.'1 It being the recommendation of the staff, it was MOVED by Council- man Forman, seconded by Councilman Arth and carried unanimously that the hearing be continued on the written protests to Friday, March 22, 1968, at 5:30 p.m., for the purpose of receiving staff report on the protests heretofore filed.and the withdrawals that may have been filed, and for such determinations as are indicated by the staff report at that time. Application for Council permit for commercial and industrial refuse collection filed by Selma Rubbish Company. The City Manager advised that the applicant had served only one account in the city during the last 21 years. I Mayor Considine declared the hearing open and George Agajanian, owner and operator of said company, stated in part that he felt he was limited in what he could haul at the time he was issued his business permit which was the reason he did not increase his accounts in the Baldwin Avenue area; that he did not know he was expected to add more accounts; that he had two at the present time and that he would become active if it be the desire of the city. It was noted that the City is seeking rubbish collectors who will compete and give the community the benefit of that competition; that the city now issues permits to eight licensees who will be 3-19-1968 - 2 - I REARING (Nu Way Rubbish Co.

The City Manager advised that said company performs a highly specialized type of service which has not yet been found to be necessary in the community and which would probably be of no value except to a limited number of customers and therefore the company would not be competitive in the sense of offering a potential service to all commercial and industrial businesses. He recommended denial without prejudice to the applicant reapplying in the future.

The City Manager advised that pursuant to instructions staff had notified both companies now serving the community,' National and Foothill, and that each present customer of said two companies were also notified; that responses have indicated about three to one in favor of the awarding of the franchise to Foothill. Reference was made to a revised proposal from Foothill and it was the staff's recommendation to make the award to that company. Mayor Considine declared the hearing open and Charles Griner, consultant with International Cable TV Corporation, spoke at length and distributed copies of communications from 1) his company, 2) .1967 annual report of Kaufman and Broad Building Company, 3) recommendations from Glendora and Monrovia in which cities his company is licensed. The letter from International was read in full by Mr. Griner who felt his company was offering services at lower rates than Foothill and referred to a breakdown of the number of customers and monthly payments thereby. He estimated there is a potential of 2000 customers in the area to be served and that customers in Arcadia would benefit by subscribers whichtiis company has in Monrovia and Duarte; that the 75~ charge for the second set remains constant; that his company would post a $25,000 performance bond and could begin service within 180 days with a complete new system with the most up to date available equipment. Reference was made to balance sheets of both companies. He noted that the corporation is separate from the building corporation which would guarantee any obligations by the television company. He asked that the franchise be awarded to his company. Mr. 'Norton, representative of the National Trans Video Corporation, spoke briefly stating in part that his company has 140 subscribers in the city and is concerned with their welfare; that the quality of service is the first consideration and that rates should be reasonable; that only one of the competitors is currently operating within the city. which limits the checking into service to that one company; that he has found its service to be excellent. Mrs. Gail Langlois, 2203 Canyon Road, protested the proposed increase in rates and expressed satisfaction with the service being received now from National. John Muir, representative of H & B Communications Corporation, stated in part that Mrs. Langlois would receive five additional channels including UHF and explored the rate range nationally - from a low of $3.75 to $9.50 - that the average rate is between $4.75 and $6.00 for a full service system and 12 channels if available and offered.
