the adjourned regular meetings of June 11, 25, 30, 1970, were
APPROVED. Councilman Hage abstained from voting on the June 16 minutes
inasmuch as he was absent on that date.
CONTINUED -- Appeal filed by Mrs, Harry Friedman from the decision of
the Planning Commission in its denial of her application for division
of property at 120-150 E. Duarte Road. Robert Cowgill, 533 Fremont
Avenue, Los Angeles, asked for another continuance to provide time to
confer with new counsel. He felt the parties concerned were close to
an agreement. Mrs. Friedman, 10307 Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles,
asked that the request of Mr, Cowgill be granted -- as she hoped a
meeting of the minds could be reached,
Mayor Butterworth noted that the matter has been continued many times
during the last six months and stated in part that unless there is
reasOn to believe a continuance would bring about results he felt the
matter should be brought to a conclusion and denied without prejudice;
that in the event an~reement is reached with a new approach to the
lot split, the matter in all propriety should go back to the Planning
Commission for review.
Councilmen Arth and Hage expressed willingness to extend additional
time because the illegal lot split would still be an open problem
and One which must be resolved at some point and time.
Whereupon Councilman Arth MOVED TO CLOSE the public hearing and to
CONTINUE the matter until August 4. Motion seconded by Councilman
Hage, Roll call vote was then taken:

Councilman Considine commented that in voting to close the hearing he
felt strongly that a satisfactory conclusion is desired by all, but
it has appeared thus far that an easy solution is not forthcoming and
that whatever is eventually decided upon should be reviewed by the
Planning Commission to make certain it complies with all regulations
and requirements. Councilman Helms concurred and MOVED to sustain
the Planning Commission and deny the appeal WITHOUT PREJUDICE. Council-
man Considine MOVED to AMEND the primary motion to provide that in the
event a new application is filed with the Planning Department any fee
conn~cted therewith be WAIVED. Councilman Helms commented that this is
against his principles when one considers all the work involved in pro-
cessing an application, but under the circumstances he would be willing
and SECONDED the Primary Motion as amended, Roll Call vote was then
taken.

John H. Saunders, 841 San Simeon Road, Arcadia, spoke at length
regarding a matter of great concern to the residents of the Rancho
Santa Anita area - that of the State being responsible for construction
of some type of protection between the freeway and the residences from
the noise, dirt and unsightliness of the project. He recalled meetings
and considerations during negotiations with the State concerning engi-
neering details on the elevation, Baldwin Avenue offramp and the con-
struction of a berm. He presented his understanding of the results -
that the executed agreement between the State and City did not include
the berm, however it had been verbally agreed upon but never reduced to
writing. His concern was enhanced with the receipt of a recent communi-
cation from the Director of Public Works indicating that the State does
not wish to honor what he feels is its obligation to construct a berm
and urged Council to take some immediate action as the bulldozing work
is now underway in the immediate vicinity.
James Rostron, 422 Monte Vista Road, Arcadia, submitted his recollection
of the proceedings and offered to contribute his experience in such
matters. Mr. Rostron is a civil engineer.
Charles Reynolds, 528 Vaquero Road, spoke to the matter and suggested
ways in which a barrier could he constructed as in his opinion sound
is the main issue.
Extensive discussion ensued with Mayor Butterworth and Councilman Arth
recalling their understanding of the situation. Alternates were sub.
mitted in the event a berm cannot be constructed on state property. A
meeting will be arranged with the State officials and Mayor Butterworth,
Councilman Arth, the City Manager and the Director of Public Works will
present the position of the City. Mr. Rostron will also attend.
Council acknowledged receipt of a communication from Arthur Halsted,
1508 S. Second Avenue, requesting that consideration be given to
including all of Second Avenue in the next phase of the sidewalk
program. At the request of Councilman Hage and concurred in by
council a report will be prepared including a traffic study of the
area.
Council received and ordered FILED a communication from the President
of the California Roadside Council commending the City in its efforts
to see that utility poles are placed underground along the freeway
route.
On recommendation of the City Manager and the Director of Public
Works it was MOVED by Councilman Considine, seconded by Councilman
Hage and carried on roll call vote as follows, that the recommendation
as set forth in the report dated July 3 be APPROVED; that the
Director of Public Works be AUTHORIZED to proceed with the seal coat
applications to city streets pursuant to Section 1212 of the City

In accordance with Council instructions to improve safety lighting
at intersections, the Director of Public Works submitted a report
dated July 3 indicating that Phase I would include 173 intersections
south of Huntington Drive and west of Santa Anita Avenue - estimated
costs were itemized. Staff urged adoption of the first phase of the
program in order to insure completion of the project prior to the
onset of the early hours of darkness.
It was MOVED by Councilman Arth, seconded by Councilman Considine
and carried on roll call vote as follows, that Phase I of the
Intersectional Lighting Program be APPROVED and IMPLEMENTED, and .that
the sum of $1,650 be expended for such purpose. Funds provided in

On recommendation of the City Manager and the Director of Public Works,
it was MOVED by Councilman Considine, seconded by Councilman Hage and
carried unanimously that the plans and specifications for the constructiOI
of a bridge on Santa Clara Street across the Santa Anita Wash be APPROVED
and that the City Clerk be and she is hereby AUTHORIZED to advertise for
bids to be returned JULY 20, 1970, at 11 A. M. It was noted that the
project includes the construction of an equestrian tunnel to be funded
by the Los Angeles County Parks and Recreation Department under the terms
of an existing Cooperative Agreement. The bridge construction will be
funded with County Aid to Cities Funds which are on deposit with the City.
At the Council meeting of June 2, 1970, Robert Bonsack had requested the
City to consider the purchase of a building at 909 South Santa Anita
Avenue (old Tribune building). The City Manager stated in part that the
building and site had been carefully inspected and reports had been
submitted from the Public Works, Recreation and Planning Departments
relative thereto. The unanimous opinion of said departmental adminis-
trators was that the building is not suitable for the purpose of con-
verting it into a youth recreation center. He continued that Path, Inc.,

is negotiating a lease arrangement for the facility inasmuch as it
must vacate its present meeting place by July 18 and suggested offering
assistance to Path, Inc., if needed.
Councilman Considine MOVED that inasmuch as lease arrangements have
been started, if not completed, that no action be taken on the purchase;
that the city assist if necessary to an extent to be determined in the
leasing of the building; that any fees in connection with the filing of
the necessary conditional use permit application be waived. Motion
seconded by Councilman Arth.
L. V. Lyndon, owner and operator of a Swim School at 921 South Santa
Anita Avenue, immediately south of the subject building, expressed
concern at the possibility of a teen center adjacent to his facility
and suggested that responsible persons be placed in charge as he
anticipated oome problems. He was advised to contact Path, Inc., the
organization which has been formed to assist the teenagers in their
activities and actions and to provide a place to meet; that the City
has no direct tie-in with the organization other than to maintain
liaison; that the city does appropriate funds as a contribution for
the organization - the same as it does for some other organizations.
Councilman Helms stated in part that he recognizes the expertise in
the'preparation of the report on the building and site, but that in
his opinion the location is an ideal one for a multi-purpose use; that
the building may have some inadequacies but it could be used now. He
explored its surroundings and proximity to the city library and the
high school and stated in part that he would be sorry to lose the
opportunity to acquire land in that vicinity.
Councilman Arth stated in part that in line with city policy of
acquiring property adjacent to schools for joint use the matter could
continue to be studied; that the urgency of purchase has been removed
at this point and assuming a conditional use permit is obtained by Path,
Inc., it would be able to operate there which would provide an opportunity
to observe and make a determination.
Councilman Considine agreed that the leasing arrangement would meet the
need at the present time - that during the interim the feasibility of
the use and location could be studied - that because of the substantial
expenditure in the purchase of the land and improvements he did not want
to act. too hastily. Whereupon with the consent of his second, Councilman
Considine then modified his MOTION to reflect "the purchase of the property
be taken under advisement and any fee connected with the filing of a con-
ditional use permit application be waived." Roll call vote was then taken.

At the Council meeting of June 30 a possible reduction in the ad valorem
tax was scheduled for discussion at this meeting. A 5 percent tax on all
utilities except municipal water was levied at that time and it was
anticipated the revenue from that source would raise $142,565 more than
will be needed to balance the 1970-71 budget. To compensate for that
surplus Council took the following action to return the funds to the
taxpayer by an equivalent amount on the property tax rate, and $142,565
being about 10~ on the tax rate it was determined to reduce the property
tax by that amount (10~) as a compensatory relief at this time; that in
mid-August when the actual assessed valuation figures are received, a
revision could be made if necessary.
Councilman Arth MOVED to reduce the property tax 10~ which in effect

not signed an agreement by the date set by Council, July 6. He then
made the following recommendations:
I
1) That the $2 monthly increase in the amount the City pays for city
employees electing to have their dependents covered under the medical
insurance program provided by the City, be approved for all city
employees who insure their dependents under the program. (This will

Mayor Butterworth was excused at 9:15 P.M.
The City Manager and Director of Public Works submitted a report
dated July 3, 1970, on Topics Fund Accumulation which reflected
the current total for the City is $103,983 and that pursuant to
governing laws it is necessary for each jurisdiction to notify the
State Division of Highways prior to July 31, 1970, as to how the
funds are to be used. It was noted therein that Council has
authori~ed retaining an engineering consultant to prepare the Study
Report which will make it possible to expend the Topics Fund on an
improvement project which would improve capacity and safety, That
the Engineering Agreement will be presented to Council for formal
approval in the near future.
/
Councilman Considine MOVED that the City Council of the City of
Arcadia instruct the Director of Public Works to advise the State
Division of Highways that the City's plans for Topics Funds are
as follows:
A portion of the funds will be expended in the preparation of a
Topics Study Report; that it is the desire of the City to accumulate
the remaining balance together with future allocations to pay the cost
of priority improvement projects as disclosed by the Study Report that
will contribute to an improvement of capacity and safety on the P-2

Communication from Mrs, OlivlliF. Price requesting a refund of $1650
plus accrued interest which she deposited in May of 1958 for the
improvement of one half of an alley along the south line of Tract
No. 24122.' Mrs. Price was one of the developers of the tract.
Council reviewed the report from the Department of Public Works
setting forth the chronological background of the matter and the
recommendation of the Director of Public Works for denial of the
request. He noted that the City Attorney advises there is no legal
"I) ;/means of making a refund and that inasmuch as the right-of-way for
r" the alley still exists, conceivably the alley may as yet be improved
~ at some future date; that the city stands ready to improve the alley
at any time the owners adjacent thereto decide to go ahead and make
the necessary initial deposits.

Los Angeles County Sanitation District of which the city is a part, for
an easement on city owned property near the Par 3 Golf Course for the
construction of a relief sewer line. He noted that the line is urgently
needed and the district proposes to construct the improvement during this

The recommendation of the City Manager and the Finance Director for
the establishment of a Warehouse Revolving Fund was discussed at length.
They advised that procedures have been established and appropriate
records set up at the City Yard. The budget provides the necessary
changes in organization to implement a central warehouse program. A
complete inventory of all supplies and materials has been made as of
July 1 and the independent auditors have made a spot check of the
physical inventory conducted by city personnel. In order to charge
the various divisions in the Public Works and Water Departments it is
necessary to set up a working capital fund which would consist of the
inventory plus cash and if approved such a fund was recommended to
consist of $10,000.
I
In response to a request by Councilman Considine the Finance Director
explained the proposed procedure - in part - that the purchase of
supplies and materials are made from a warehouse revolving fund; that
budgets are charged as items are used; that the revolving fund is made
up of actual cash plus the inventory; that the practice provides better
control, i. e., the purchasing department would buy water meters to meet
the need for three to four months - the water department budget would
only be charged with those actually taken out of inventory. He explained
further that the $10,000 in the fund is replenished on a monthly basis
and should the amount prove inadequate Council would be so apprised and
a request made for an increase. He noted in conclusion that the indepen-
dent auditors have recommended the procedure.

Councilman Considine stated in part that the recommendation is tantamount
to a petty cash situation where monies can be spent on an open check aud
suddenly it is discovered that the budgeted funds just are not there be-
cause ,the money has been spent in order to take advantage of a bargain in
some particular area; that he is partial to the system currently followed
in the city which system is being used by some of the largest industries
where a charge is made directly to a department. He felt that thus far
he could not place any confidence in the proposal.
Following further discussion, it was MOVED by Councilman Arth, seconded
by Councilman Hage and carried on roll call vote as follows, that a
Warehouse Revolving Fund be established in the amount of $10,000 and
that that sum be transferred from the Unappropriated Surplus in the
General Fund to a Warehouse Revolving Fund effective as of July 1, 1970.
