Consideration of the proposed 5 year Capital Program, copies of which
have been on file in the Office of the City Clerk as well as the
Affidavit of Publication noticing the hearing scheduled for this time
and place. It was noted by the City Manager that approval of the
program would not authorize any expenditure; such spending is possible
only after approval by the City Council of the projects in an annual
budget and in addition thereafter each major project is reviewed by
,Council again at the time the proposal is made for the start of a
project.
Mayor Arth declared the hearing open and no one desiring to be heard,
the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilman Considine, seconded
by Councilman Rage and carried unanimously.
I
Council agreed with Counci,lman Helms in his expressed concern at the
apparent lack of public participation in future capital projects. Ways
of creating interest were briefly explored. Extensive discussion held on
the proposed widening of Sunset Boulevard from Duarte Road to Huntington
Drive scheduled for 1970-71. Also on the possible substitution of the
right of way acquisition and widening of First Avenue from Santa Clara
to Colorado if Council determined Sunset widening was not imperative
during the ensuing fiscal year.
Mayor Arth stated in part that in his op~n~on Sunset is rapidly becoming
a main artery and is used primarily by non-residents. He made reference
to a large apartment building in the subject area which would, after the
widening, be within two or three feet of the street. He continued in
part that there are unsolved traffic problems with the present congestion
with traffic emanating from California Street as it crosses into Arcadia
at Michillinda and onto Sunset Boulevard; that if it is not a real
necessity at the present time, he would like to see it postponed; that
the funds could be used elsewhere.
Councilman Helms felt that Sunset would eventually have to be widened,
the question being just when; that it is his understanding it is
scheduled to be completed concurrently with the completion of the
freeway offramp at Michillinda; that it appears to him the issue is
whether or not it is necessary at the scheduled time or will the traffic
stabilize or at least not increase materially in a few more years; that
if it could be postponed for a short time and the funds effectively used
for something more pressing, he would go along, but Sunset Boulevard, in
its present condition, is a restricted artery.
Councilman Hage observed in part that if it were primarily a county need
more than a local one and if Temple City and other cities were benefiting
more than Arcadia, it might be more prudent to allocate city funds to
city streets; that County might be willing to assume a goodly portion of
the cost of the widening and evinced an interest in pursuing that possi-
bility. I
Council expressed a desire to review figures for the First Avenue widening
project and to ascertain whether or not County would share in the Sunset
Boulevard project. Whereupon it was MOVED by Councilman Helms, seconded
by Councilman Rage and carried unanimously, that final action on the
program be deferred until the regular meeting of March 17 pending further
staff information.
Application of William Ferrell, dba Bob's Racing Selections, for permission
to sell racing selections on the premises of the Santa Anita Race Track. It
was noted that this is a change of ownership (from Robert Malloy). Mayor
Arth declared the hearing open and no one desiring to be heard, the hearing
was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilman Butterworth, seconded by Councilman Hage
and carried unanimously. It was further MOVED by Councilman Butterworth,
seconded by Councilman Hage and carried unanimously, that the application be
approved and the business permit be so issued.

r C~NDITIONAL
USE PERMIT
I
RATIFIED
Planning Commission Resolution No, 692 granting a conditional use permit
to the Texaco Company for the remodeling of an automobile service station
on property known as 9974 Las Tunas Boulevard. The Planning Director
explained that the property is zoned C-2, with service stations to the
north and northeast of the subject site, commercial buildings located
southeast and west of the site and R-3 improvements to the south; that
the site has recently been partially remodeled and the applicant proposes
to complete the remodeling of the service station. He explored conditions
under which the permit was granted as enumerated in said resolution.
It was MOVED by Councilman Helms, seconded by Counc~lman Butterworth and
carried unanimously that the action of the Planning Commission in the
granting of this conditional use permit pursuant to specified conditions,
be and it is hereby RATIFIED.
The City Manager advised of the receipt of communications asking the
City to retain the railroad spur crossing Second Avenue north of
Huntington Drive; that plans are afoot to combine several parcels of
land for industrial development in the vicinity of Second and Santa
Clara Avenues and the spur would be an integral part of the plans,
This came to light inasmuch as the City is acquiring property necessary
for the relocation' and rebuilding of Second Avenue. It was noted that
on the one side to put a railroad track across a new street handicaps
the grade and drainage, however, on the other side, the city is seeking
more industry in the subject area and the spur would attract such
industry. Whereupon it was MOVED by Councilman Hage, seconded by
Councilman Helms and carried unanimously that staff review the problem
'l. .and make recommendation.

STATE WATER

SUP'PORT
I
-f'oAV.c
A 1,;:- d
It was noted that a key feature of the State Water Plan to bring water
from the Feather River and othernorthern sources to Central and Southern
California has been a proposal for means of moving ~he ~ater across the
delta area between Stockton ~nd San Francisco Bay; that extensive studies
have indicated that a separate canal skirting the existing waterways would
benefit the delta area by preventing sea water intrusion and improving the
quality of the delta waterways. Strong opposition has developed to this
plan in Contra Costa County and nearby areas because of the belief that
the peripheral canal would in some manner impair the ecology of the delta
area.
The Metropolitan Water District of Southern Ca lifornia adopted a resoluti on
relating to the aspect, It set forth that the peripheral canal offers by
far the best solution for the problems of both water supply and water
quality for the Central Valley Project and the State Water Project, and
requested support from all governmental agencies.
Henry Green, executive manager of the California Water Resources Associa-
tion, addressed Council at length on the merits of the Plan and circulated
photographs, press releases and maps reflecting complex engineering works
including a canal, pumps, siphons, release gates and recreation facilities.
The idea would be to carry fresh water around the delta to keep it separate
from the salt water which is sent up from the bay by the tides, It would
be water which now flows wasted and unused into the Pacific Ocean. (All
remarks made by Mr. Green have been transcripted and on file in the office
of the City Clerk).

Council concurred that the city, as a part of the Metropolitan Water
District, is deeply committed to the Feather River project. Whereupon

of Resolution No. 5022, entitled: "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA EXPRESSING SUPPORT OF THE PERIPHERAL CANAL PORTION
OF THE STATE WATER PROJECT."

The report on plans and cost for relocating Hugo Reid Baseball Park
teflected that the most desirable time for accomplishing the moving
and improving the field would be between the end of the present Little
League season and the beginning of the 1971 season; that the best means
and lowest cost would be through the maximum use of city forces, Dirt
needed to reconstruct the outfield area would be available from the
~xcavation work for St. Joseph Reservoir No.2. Installation of the
backstop and fencing would require the skill of a private contractor and
the City Manager recommended that specifications for this be prepared
and staff authorized to advertise for bid& Total cost has been estimated
at $7000, $800 of this amount is being contributed by the Arcadia Coast
Little League and the Rancho Santa Anita Residents Association and the
temaining could be appropriated from the Capital Improvement Projects'
Account,
Whereupon it was MOVED by Councilman Considine, seconded by Councilman
Eutterworth and carried on roll call vote as follows, that staff be
AUTHORIZED to proceed with the plans, schedules and expenditures
necessary to accomplish the project with the development of specifications
for the contract work; that $6,200 be appropriated from Capital Improvement
Account (General Fund) to fund the project.

Council has been studying the problem of low flying planes using the
El Monte Airport and at its direction staff has obtained information relative
thereto and has flown the present and alternative flight patterns with a
view to developing constructive suggestions. Recommendations were made
in a report dated February 26, 1970, and if Council concurs, staff will
solicit the cooperation of neighboring cities in bringing the matter to
the attention of the County and the Federal Aviation Administration
indicating a pattern change was reviewed.
Councilman Helms stated in part that the matter is of great personal I
concern to him as he resides in a section of the city representing the
greater degree of nuisance from the noise factor and possible hazard
particularly on a Sunday when the pattern is heavily congested. He
felt the suggested change of pattern has a great deal of merit and
MOVED to ADOPT the following recommendations; that they be forwarded
to the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and the Federal Aviation
Administration; that staff take steps to solicit the cooperation of
neighboring cities in bringing the matter to the attention of the proper
authorities.
1. Altitude at which planes are required to fly while waiting
to land be increased to 1000' above ground. (The present
requirement is 800 '). The additional 200' would reach a
common required altitude and would provide additional space
to reduce the noise experienced by residents.

2. Request the two agencies to expedite the construction of the
control tower and to have it manned during daylight hours so
that a visual control of pilot practices would be possible.
To include the normal requirement that all pilots be in radio
contact with the tower.
3. Request the two, agencies to change and w\>rk, out the landing
pattern so that it is a left-hand turn pattern using the
larger amount of undeveloped land lying east rather than west
of the landing strip.
The request of the Classic Carpet Company for permission to display
rolls of carpet and to conduct a sidewalk sale on March 5, 6, 7 was
APPROVED on MOTION by Councilman Hage, seconded by Councilman Considine
and carried unanimously. It was noted that the merchandise would be
displayed in an orderly fashion upright against the building and would
be clear'of the sidewalk so as to not interfere with sidewalk traffic.
Council received informat~on that the City has been advised it will
receive $4,218.76 for a portion of its expenditure for emergency
measures following the heavy rains of the winter of 1969. The Director
of Public Works was commended on his efforts with the above result.
The resignation of Thomas B, McKibben from the Sister City Commission
was accepted with regret. Mr, McKibben has served in this capacity since
June, 1964, and this term would have expired June 30, 1973. Council
appreciation will be presented in the form of a plaque.
The City Manager advised that plans and specifications for the beauti-
fication of Live Oak Avenue along with street lighting are now complete
and await Council approval. Whereupon it was MOVED by Councilman
Considine, seconded by Councilman Hage and carried unanimously that the
plans and specifications be approved; that the City Clerk be authorized
to advertise for bids to be returned March 16, 1970.
The beautification portion will be funded from Capital Improvement Project
Funds and the street lighting from available Gas Tax Funds presently
budgeted for the Live Oak Avenue Street Improvement. This will cause 'a
deficit of funding for the completion' of the balance of Live Oak Avenue
between Third Avenue and the Santa Anita Wash, 'however, it was noted
that project funds can be supplemented with County Aid to Cities money
currently available, '
Proposed 1970 Storm Drain Bond Issue projects - landscaping. The City
Manager advised that prior to submitting a list of proposed storm drain
projects for the bond issue he was advised by the Flood Control District
that bond issue funds could be used for landscaping only on current
projects. A landscape project was not feasible since all city projects
involve the installation of underground conduit. He continued that he
has received information that the League of California Cities would support
the 1970 Bond Issue if the District'would draft a bond issue which would
allow cities to expend bond issue funds for landscaping on new and existing
channels and for multi-use projects such as recreation and park development.
He recommended that the District be requested to delete one of the city's
proposed drain lines and substitute a project for landscaping, and
explained the specific project and the funding as set forth in his report
dated February 27, 1970.

Whereupon it was MOVED by Councilman Hage, seconded by Councilman
Butterworth and carried unanimously that Council approve the deletion
of the storm drain project listed as Priority 7 for Volante Drive between
Monte Vista and the Arboretum; that the funding for that project in the
amount of $96,500 be dedicated to the installation of landscaping the
following locations:
Santa Anita Wash: Foothill Boulevard, Colorado Boulevard, Huntington
Drive, Live Oak Avenue.
Arcadia Wash: Huntington Drive, Campus Drive, El Monte Avenue between
Campus Drive and Duarte Road, El Monte Avenue, Las Tunas
Drive, Live Oak Avenue.
I
It was noted that if the Flood Control District accepts the changes,
staff will prepare for Council consideration, landscape plans for the
above locations consistent with the availability of funds.
The City Manager advised that the lighting at Bonita Park sustained
extensive damage due to the wind storms in December; that it would be
a waste of city funds to repair the damage at this time without making
the necessary relocations of interfering lighting facilities since
Second Avenue will be realigned during 1970; that by performing the
repair and relocation at the same time a portion of the total cost can
be funded from State Gas Tax funds and charged to the realignment project.
A breakdown of this proposal contained in report dated February 27, 1970.
It was MOVED by Councilman Considine, seconded by Councilman Hage and
carried on roll call vote as follows: that staff be authorized to
proceed with the necessary repairs and the sum of $1000 be appropriated
from Council General Contingency Account (409-28) and transferred to
Park Maintenance Account 433-H to cover the city's share of the total
cost.
