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.

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., - 4 - 7-7-70 I I $1,05 PROPERTY TAX REDUCED TO .95~ ~ J 18:7669 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.

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 - 5 - 7-7-70 SALARIES ~:: \/ , ' " \J 7 /J . ~, '. 18:7670 will set the new rate at 95~ per $100 assessed valuation subject to possible revision in August.

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 Roadway System.

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.

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. - 8 - 7-7-lJ I CHP ~~___~~~REMENT I ORDINANCE: NO. 1413 ADOPTED ORDINANCIl NO. 1414 ADOPTED PROPOSED ORDINANCE 18:7673 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.
