He was informed that it had not. Discussion ensued on which agency acts first with Councilman Considine stating in part that in his mind there is a question as to whether or not the Board should review classifications and assignments of changes and then submit its recommendations to the City Council; that if the Council misuses various boards and/or commissions they lose their utility to the Council; that if matters such as this are not to go to the Board it should be clearly defined so that the Board and all concerned will understand. The City Attorney and the City Manager referred to the responsibilities of the Personnel Board as set forth in the City Charter and discussion was held on whether or not reorganization, reassignment of responsi- bilities and procedural changes should first be submitted to the Personnel Board, in which case the Charter would have to be revised in that particular area.

He explained that at the request of the West Arcadia Business & Professional Association and other interested individuals, the Engineering and Police Departments conducted traffic studies to determine improvements necessary to promote traffic safety and reduce vehicular congestion in said area.

The recommended channelization would provide two through lanes and a left turn storage bay in each direction. I 8. 12-6-66 I I ACCEPTANCE OF WORK (flahn) 111~3 17:6920 Paul Beckquist, owner and operator of a camera shop located at 672 W. Duarte Road, asked Council to consider the position of the shop owners on the south side of Duarte Road just east of Baldwin Avenue; that customers currently are permitted to park directly in front of the shops for short periods of time; that there is very limited parking in the rear of his store. fie expressed concern that the new traffic regulation prohibiting_parking in the stalls referred to would adversely effect his business. Don Ehr, Assistant Store Manager for Hinshaw's Department Store and representing the Arcadia Parking, Inc., and,the West Arcadia Business & Professional Association, stated in part that for many years they have been asking for left turn lanes at the subject intersection; that it is the only intersection on Duarte Road in the City without such lanes; that the safety and improved traffic flow will far out- weigh the few parking spaces which will be lost; that the proposal is wholeheartedly supported and urged approval of the plan. Arlene Herbert, 1206 S. Baldwin Avenue, stated that she felt the plan would be detrimental to her business as she caters to family trade and expressed the need for adequate parking for her customers. Russell Augsburger, 676 W. Duarte Road, stated in part that the situation is becoming more hazardous and urged app:oval. Lee Tidwell, 674 W. Duarte Road, referred to the customers who make brief stops in the parking stalls proposed for elimination by the ptan - and asked for some assistance in the parking situation. Fred Nelson, Manager of the West Arcadia Bank of America, referred to ample parking in the rear of the stores on the east side of Baldwin Avenue; that perhaps some method could be devised for customers to use the area by eliminating the all-day parking by employees of surrounding stores. The removal of the existing Edison poles was also explored as a means of providing more parking in the lot. It was the consensus of the City Council that studies and reports indicate the urgent need for traffic channelization at the subject area and that steps should be taken to assist in providing parking for the customers of the small stores. Whereupon it was MOVED by Councilman Hage, seconded by Councilman Arth and carried on roll call vote as follows that the traffic channelization of the Baldwin and Duarte intersection proceed; that the Planning Commission study the scope and make recommendations on the parking problem and that the City Attorney work with the Association in arriving at some type of control of parking in order t~ secure maximum utility therefrom.

V.-Ji.- _,,': "I (See Minutes of Dec. 10, '66 Page 17:6926) ORDINANCE NO. 1332 Adopted 17:6921 The City Council accepted the annual financial report (1965-66) as submitted by the City Manager. The employment of an engineering firm to recommend on the needs of the Water Department was deferred to the adjourned meeting of December 10, 1966. James Winslow, owner and operator of an engineering firm at 47 E. St. Joseph Street, asked for reconsideration of the denial of his request for the issuance of an occupancy permit of the new concrete block steel roofed insulated building addition to his plant. He stated in part that he desires to move in some machinery prior to the completion of the installation of a sprinkler system as required by Code. He distributed a copy of an agreement with the company doing this work which indicated completion in approximately 60 days. He referred to pressure from the defense industry to which effort his business is directly related. I He explained that if there be a fire hazard it would be to his own operation because the building is far removed from anything else in the immediate area; that there is nothing combustible inside the building and that fire extinguishers are maintained therein. He concluded his remarks by asking if there would be any condition under which he could operate his business during the period of sprinkler installation. The Director of Public Works stated in part that the problem is primarily one to be basically determined by the Fire Chief who is the expert in this particular field and suggested that a meeting be held with the Building Official, the Fire Chief and Mr. Winslow to ascertain what if anything would be acceptable in lieu of or in substitution of the requirement. Councilman Considine expressed understanding of the problem faced by Mr. Winslow and stated in part that he would like to assist him if at all possible without jeopardizing personnel or surrounding property and suggested that a study be made to determine under what conditions it would be safe to operate without undue hazard recognizing that the sprinkler system is being actively worked upon. It was Councilman Arth's and Hage's feeling that in view of the report from the staff and their deep concern from a safety standpoint they could not reverse the recommendation of those entrusted with seeing that the code requirements are complied with. I The matter of reconsideration of the decision was placed on the agenda for the adjourned regular meeting (December 10) and during the interim staff will make detailed inspections of the new structure to determine if a temporary permit could be granted based upon the statement by Mr. Winslow that the permanent sprinkler system will be installed in approximately 60 days.
