Mayor Considine welcomed the Foothill Jr. High School civic class.
MOTION by Councilman Forman, seconded by Councilman Hage and carried
unanimously that the Minutes of the regular meeting of September 19
be approved as submitted in writing.
MOTION by Councilman Butterworth that the Minutes of the regular
meeting of August 15, 1967 as submitted in'writing, be amended by
correcting the ,trust figure of $2,337.24 to $3,290.18 (Page 1,
Tract 27276, Line 10; Page 3, Para. 1, Line 2 and Para. 4, Line 2).
Councilman Forman seconded the motion which was carried unanimously.
The full proceedings of this matter are recorded in the office of the
City Clerk.
The public hearing remaining open on the application for a business
permit to collect rubbish in commercial areas, Brooks Gifford, Jr.,
attorney for Paul Mnoian, dba Nu-Way Rubbish Company, addressed
Council and distributed reports which he had prepared setting forth
disposal rates: and service surveys taken at random. It depicted
rates based on number of days serviced per week, size and number of
bins, present 'monthly rates of the City Ref~se Company as compared
to the Nu-Way Rubbish Company. In discussion Mr. Gifford recommended
that the City repeal its ordinance limiting the number of commercial
pick-up permittees to five, thereby opening it up for all who could
meet the requirements and referred to an ordinance in effect in
Pasadena.
Don McCormac, 220 S. Canyon Road, Sierra Madre, advised that he had
an application pending and felt that he should be considered before
other applicants. He recommended opening up the field.
Paul Thorsen, owner and operator of the City Refuse Company,
addressed Cou~cil stating in part that he had been in the business
in Arcadia since 1944; that prior to entering into a contract with
his Company in' 1956 the City Council spent eight months investigating
prices and operations; that prices were going to increase what with
labor, insurance, equipment and taxes. He continued in part that in
1.

his op1n10n competition or free enterprise should not be applied when
safety, health and welfare of the public are at stake. That he would
like to see only one permit issued so the City would have complete
control.
No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by
Councilman Forman, seconded by Councilman Arth and carried
unanimously.
Councilman Butterworth stated in part that Mr. Thorsen does a fine
job, but that he is satisfied the community would benefit with free I
and open competition in commercial rubbish pick-up; that he did not
think the City would be deluged with trucks. He submitted that the
field could be opened up for a period of a year or two on a trial
basis. A hearing could then be held to evaluate the experience and
make the determination at that time with the Manager recommending
control areas.
Councilman Arth felt that it should be opened up only on a very tight
license basis so that Council could be assured the merchants were
receiving the lowest possible rates; that he would tend toward
removing the limitation altogether. He also commended the operation
of Mr. Thorsen.
Councilman Forman stated in part that experience is important; that
there have been relatively few complaints on the existing operation
and he would not favor opening up the field.
It was Councilman Hage's observation that standards should be set up
including regular inspection of the trucks and would prefer that
each application be judged on its own merits, that he concurred with
Councilman Butterworth to some extent.
Mayor Considine chronologically explored procedures and the intent
at the time of imposing the limitation to five; that if one were to
do a poor job the license would not be renewed leaving the spot open
for another, which in his opinion had merit. He expressed concern
over control should it be opened up.
The City Attorney stated that he could prepare at least two ordinances
for Council consideration, 1) to repeal the section which imposes the
limitation and 2) to suspend that section for a period of one or two.
years; that all licenses issued over the five would be subject to the
pending limitation and would automatically expire unless Council
suspended or fully repealed the limitation. He suggested further
that the City Manager be instructed to prepare criteria for the
issuance of additional permits as suggested by Councilman Butterworth;
that the City Attorney could have the ordinance sooner than the
criteria could be prepared, as extreme care had to be used in drafting
such criteria if they are to be effective.
I
It was then MOVED by Councilman Butterworth that the City Attorney
prepare two ordinances as outlined; that the City Manager prepare a
list of restrictions commensurate with Council thinking with the
understanding that upon said preparation the Council members would be
free to make a decision at a later time; that the passage of this
motion will commit no one but will give Council an opportunity to
study the matter. Upon Mayor Considine's suggestion Councilman
Butterworth included in his motion that the City Manager prepare a
list of problems which could be anticipated if the limitation were
removed and that Council determined at some later date to return to
the limitation of five permittees, and the resolving of those problems.

Application of the National Shopping Centers for zone change from R-O and
C - 2 to C-2 and D on property at the northwest corner of Foothill
Boulevard and Santa Anita Avenue. The zone change request had been
denied by the Planning Commission on September 12, 1967 by Resolution
No. 619 and pursuant to the requirements of the Arcadia Municipal
Code a public hearing was scheduled for this date.
The Planning Director explained that it was determined by the
Planning Commission that the subject property is presently zoned R-O
and C-2 with an existing service station on the C-2 portion and a
church on the adjacent lot; that the property west of-the church is
unused; the property to the north and west is zoned R-O and developed
with single family homes; with properties to the south and east in
R-l and C-2 with a mixture of uses. That the application would
extend commercial zoning further west which is already overburdened
with such development and that the zone change is not justified by
good zoning practices.
The City Clerk read into the record opposing communications from
1) George N. Mastrogany, 1100 Rodeo Road, 2) Mrs. H. M. O'Haver,
39 W. Sycamore Avenue, 3) Mr. Tom P. Simovich, 1105 Rodeo Road. In
each instance it was stated that there is ample commercial develop-
ment.
Mayor Considine declared the hearing open. No one desiring to be
heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilman Forman, seconded
by Councilman Arth and carried unanimously. It was further MOVED by
Councilman Forman, seconded by Councilman Arth and carried on roll
call vote as follows that the recommendation of the Planning
Commission be sustained and that the application of the National
Shopping Centers for zone change as outlined above be DENIED.

Following discussion on the prov~s~on which requires all zone change
recommendations to be reviewed in public hearing by the Council,
whether or not the decision has been appealed, it was the consensus
that an ordinance be prepared amending portions of said provision
pertaining to procedure. The City Attorney and the Director of
Planning will present an amendment for Council review.
On MOTION by Councilman Forman, seconded by Councilman Arth and
carried unanimously the City Clerk was instructed to advise the City
of San Marino that Arcadia has already gone on record, by resolution,
as opposing any night horse racing at Santa Anita Race Track. This
is in response to a request of that City.
On MOTION by Councilman Forman, seconded by Councilman Hage and
carried unanimously the request of the Church of the Good Shepherd

Robert Rauperstauch, 1701 Alta Oaks Drive, referred to the condition
of the pavement on Orange Grove Avenue W2st from Santa Anita Avenue
to Baldwin Avenue. He was advised that the street was under dual
jurisdiction, howeve" the Assistant City Engineer would look into
the matter.
The City'Attorney' advised that heretofore the-City has been unable
to obtain insurance against punitive damages assessed against its
employees; that the last session of the legislature authorized a
limited form of insurance and authorized cities to pay for the same
thereby protecting its employees; that an insurance conference will
be held October 4 in San Francisco and that he would be attending by
invitation.
It was noted that Councilman Forman has been unanimously elected as
Secretary/Treasurer of the Los Angeles County Division of the League
of California Cities.
The City Clerk notified that she had received from adjacent property
owners an appeal from a recent decision of the Planning Commission
for approval of a lot split at 2522 Florence Avenue, that the Arcadia
Municipal Code does not provide for an appeal except from the
applicant but that there is a provision whereby the Council on its
own motion may review the proceedings if it should so desire. It
was the consensus of the City Council that it would be in favor of
reviewing the matter and permitting the neighbors to be heard before
Council, therefore, it was MOVED by Councilman Forman, seconded by
,Councilman Hage and carried unanimously that a public hearing be
scheduled for November 7, 1967 at 8 p.m.
Discussion ensued on the right of property owners to appeal a
decision and it was MOVED by Councilman Butterworth, seconded by
Councilman Arth and carried unanimously that the Planning Director
and the City Attorney prepare such an ordinance for Council review.
The City Attorney advised that the contract for the municipal data
system has not been approved by him; that he has discussed changes
therein and hoped to have a revised draft shortly. He explored in
detail the suggested revisions.
Councilman Arth explained the need for funds to cover minor expenses
connected with the organizing of the system-and MOVED that $50 be
paid to the Municipal Data System for such purposes (funds are
budgeted). Motion seconded by Councilman Forman and carried on roll
