The Minutes of the Regular Meeting of June 21, 1966 were APPROVED on
MOTION by Councilman Butterworth, seconded by Councilman Hage and
carried unanimously.
The Planning Director explained that by Resolution No. 594 the
Planning Commission had granted a conditional use permit to the Union
Oil Company to allow the expansion of an existing service station at
11 E. Live Oak Avenue upon conditions specified therein; that the
Commission recommended the waiving of Arcadia Municipal Code Sections
9273.4.9,. Part 1 Section 9275.4.11, Part 4 Section 9275.4.11 and
Section 9275.4.16 as the size, shape and location of the existing
facilities make the application of all of the Code requirements
governing drive-in businesses inappropriate or inapplicableG
It was MOVED by Councilman Hage, seconded by Councilman Considine
and carried unanimously that the City Council waive the provisions
of Code Sections as listed above, such waiver to become effective
c~ncurrent with the effective date of the Conditional Use Permit.
Councilman Arth did not participate in the discussion or the vote
due to his affiliation with the Union Oil Company.
The Planning Commission recommended approval of the tentative map of
Tract No. 27195 - Oakhaven Road extension. It was noted that this
subdivision 'tract map was originally approved by both the Commission
and the City Council in July of 1963; that the time period between
said approval of the tentative map and recordation of the final map
has expired, consequently another approval is required.
Upon being advised that there are no significant changes in the maps,
it was MOVED by Councilman Butterworth, seconded by Councilman Arth
and carried unanimously that tentative map of Tract No. 27195 be
approved subject to conditions imposed on the original approval
(Report of April 17, 1963).
It was MOVED by Councilman Considine, seconded by Councilman Hage and
carried unanimously that a public hearing be scheduled for July 19,
1966 at 8 P.M. on the appeal filed by the Harbor Service Stations,

The Planning Director had advised that the request is well within the
density requirements of the Arcadia Municipal Code; that the original
variance and/or conditional use permit was granted on November 15,
1960 for a 66 bed facility; that with the additional 8 beds the total
of 74 would still be somewhat below the 117 which could be permitted
under present standards.
The following resolution was adopted on MOTION by Councilman
Butterworth, seconded by Councilman Arth and carried unanimously:
RESOLVED, that the recommendation of the Personnel Board be
approved and that Section 1 of Rule VIII of the
Personnel Rules and Regulations be amended to read
as follows:
"Persons appointed to all permanent positions, entrance
or promotional, in the uniformed service of the Police
and Fire'Departments shall be on probation for twelve
months before attaining permanent status. Persons
appointed to other permanent positions shall be on
probation for a period of six months before attaining
permanent status. During the probationary period a
probationer may be discharged or demoted (if he holds
permanent status in a lower class) without right of
appeal if the appointing power deems him unfit or
unsatisfactory for service. No person shall attain
permanent status unless and until (1) the appointing
officer certifies in writing to the City Manager that
the employee is satisfactory and has been permanently
appointed to the position in which he has held a
probationary appointment, or (2) upon the failure of
the appointing power to remove the employee from his
position, within 5 days after written notice from the
City Manager that such employee's probationary period has
been or within 5 days will be completed and that either
permanent certification or dismissal of the employee
must be accomplished, Upon the request of any employee
who has completed, or within 5 days will complete, his
prescribed probationary period, the City Manager shall
notify the appointing power of such fact and that
permanent certification or discharge of the employee is
required. Any such action shall be made a matter of
record in the minutes of the Personnel Board at its next
regular meeting."

Upon the advice of the City Manager Pro Tempore and the Director of

Partial Reconveyances in connection with three parcels of property
on Duarte Road, and that same must be acquired before construction
of the street widening program can commence between Baldwin Avenue
and the West City Limits, the following resolution was adopted.
The City Attorney presented, explained the content and read the title
of Resolution No. 3887, entitled: "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, DETERMINING THAT THE PUBLIC
INTEREST, CONVENIENCE AND NECESSITY REQUIRE THE ACQUISITION OF

Councilman Considine stated in part that as a result of a meeting he,
Councilman Hage and the City Manager Pro Tempore had with prospective
developers of property in the downtown area two things became evident
to him, 1) the need for further definition of what types of businesses
the City Council wants or does not want in the area, and 2) that there
are two pieces of property that intersperses with City-owned property
and that if they should be independently developed it would preclude
the orderly development of the total area as anticipated by the City.
Following extensive discussion the Planning Department was requested
to prepare a list of desirable businesses for the City Council to
consider as a contingent to the sale of City-owned property in the
so-called Towne Center. It was pointed out that the reason the City
purchased property in the subject area was to be able to control the
type of development.
Councilman Considine suggested that a review of the City's merit
system be made by the Personnel Board; also that a review be made of
the possibility of scheduling salary review periods so that salaries
may be completely finalized prior to the presentation of the budget
to the City Council.
Discussion ensued on the primary functions .of the Personnel Board
under the City Charter and it was noted that it is a recommending
body to the City Council on Civil service rules and regulations,
acts in an advisory capacity to the City Council on problems con-
cerning personnel administration, hears appeals of persons in the
5.

classified service and makes investigations as may be deemed
advisable concerning how the personnel system is being administered.
It was the consensus of the City Council that both the review of the
merit system and the rescheduling of the salary system study should
await the arrival of the new City Manager.
Mayor Forman notified the Councilmen that the League of California
Cities will be holding its General Membership Meeting in Inglewood
On July 21; that those desiring to attend should contact the City
Manager Pro Tempore.
At 9:15 P.Mo Mayor Forman adjourned the meeting to an Executive
Session on July 7, 1966 at 7 A.M. for the purpose of continuing the
consideration of a new City Manager.
