MOTION by Councilman Balser, seconded by Councilman Reibold and

Planning Commission Resolution No. 541 recommending the amendment of
the regulations applicable to certain real property abutting Live Oak
Avenue and Lynrose Street between Tyler and'Lenore Avenues under its
classification in Zone 'D' (architectural overlay).
The Planning Commission, at the request of the City Council, had made
a study and reviewed the zoning regulations applicable to the subject
property wherein it was concluded that existing manufacturing
businesses were creating traffic, parking and appearance problems in
the area. Regulations to improve the situat~on are embodied in saiq
resolution.
Mayor Turner then declared the hearing open to those who desired to
speak to the matter.
Robert Lucas, ,5639 Farna Avenue in County territory, spoke in favor
of the contents of the resolution and stated that he has not been
able to contact the County Supervisor and therefore was asking the
City Council to see what could be done about the situation, referring
to the traffic generated by the employees of the industrial
businesses and the parking on adjacent residential streets.
Max Cregor, 5633 Farna Avenue in County territory, referred to the
noise factor con~ected with children playing on the parking lot on
Lynrose Avenue.
The City Clerk read two communications, 1) from R. G. Harris, owner
of the subject industrial property, in which he asked for an oppor-
tunity to meet with the staff on the matter and 2) from Mr. & Mrs.
Joseph W. Suchora, 5619 Cochin Avenue (County territory) opposing the
proposed zone change as it would obliterate the view of the mountains.
Mr. Harris addressed the City Council stating in part that he would
like to meet with the staff as he felt certain that any problems
could be resolved.

The proposed Swimming Pool Use and Construction Agreements were
reviewed. The City Manager advised that they differ slightly from
those previously submitted; that the Use Agreement now provides for
the availability to the City of the facility during the summer
vacation period of each year, It was noted that the construction
cost is not limited to $30,000 as in the original proposed agreement,
however, a provision is embodied therein that it would only be by
mutual consent that a higher bid could be accepted for the con-
struction.
The Use Agreement was then APPROVED on MOTION by Councilman Forman,
seconded by Councilman Balser and carried unanimously and the Mayor
and City Clerk were authorized to execute the agreements in form
approved by the City Attorney.
Some discussion held on the Construction Agreement with Councilman
Considine stating for the record:
"I object in principle to things changing after Council action is
taken. In this instance we do have the chance, either by acceptance
or rejection of the contract. In the original proposal as it was
submitted we were asked if we would participate in the pool con-
struction and the City agreed that we would pay one third of the cost
up to and not exceeding $30,000 which gave the District the oppor-
tunity to spend as much money as it wanted but it limited our
liability to only $30,000. This particular contract changes that
concept and if the cost exceeds $90,000 or one third participation,
it would take the agreement of the two parties to proceed. So this
has become restrictive on the District to the extent that they will
not go ahead as originally contemplated if it exceeds the $90,000
level and also gives the contract the opportunity to be expanded
beyond the original $30,000 to which we had pledged ourselves
initially. I think in this case in all probability if it would only
amount to several hundred dollars none of us would complain about
that, but I object to starting a program on one basis and winding up
with something that is different. If we held to our original $30,000
with the District paying any more if they wanted, it gives them the
leeway they originally requested. It gives them the funds that they
originally requested. Here we are going to be laying ourselves open
to an additional liability that we didn't specifically contemplate at
the initial onset of this program,"

In answer to an inquiry by Councilman Considine it was stated that

traffic hazard at Colorado Boulevard and Colorado Place.
1
In compliance with City Council instructions, the City Manager.
prepared and submitted a draft of a proposed ordinance for the Agency
along with various justifications for the es tablishment of same.
The proposed ordinance would accomplish the purposes of Ordinance
No. 1278 which was introduced but not adopted on February 16, 1965,
and in addition would specify restrictions and limitations upon the
power of the Agency. The preamble of said draft defines the reasons
for the"Ag€ncy as well as intents and purposes.
Various aspects of the implementation were discussed at length with
Councilman Considine stating in part that the Council appears to be
closer to an acceptable procedure than heretofore, based on his
personal contact with residents; that he would like the benefit of an
informative bulletin setting forth just how a person participates in
such a program; that he feels it would be out of line to condemn
property if a majority of landowners in a specific area resisted;
that it would be helpful to have preliminary budget figures,
Mayor Turner stated for the record that in his opinion the City
should not go into a specific area if 50 per cent participation of
the property owners of the area could not be gotten within a
reasonable or given period of time; that the City should not place
itself in a position of exercising its right of eminent domain in
such an area. He suggested two methods 1) by petition with 50 per
cent or more of the property owners in a given area t? come in with
the Agency because they were not able to develop under the private
enterprise system or 2) the City choose the area most needed for
development, ask for participation and acquire 50 per'cent or more of
the property by voluntary sale; that all negotiations and all
purchases, in his opinion, must be accomplished strictly and without
deviation from the appraised value that is submitted by a recognized
appraiser up to the time that it might be contested and a court might
determine otherwise; that with the foregoing he would be ready to go
ahead with the plan.
Councilman Reibold observed in part that a project might constitute 1
any part of one of the twb specified areas as defined in the subject
ordinance, Peck Road and the Central Area, as long as it had a
minimum size of 90,000 sq. ft., or a square block; that the City
Council must retain entire control of the Agency; that it may not
have the funds with which to do so. He referred to the need for
funds for special counsel, assistance to the Manager, appraisal fees,
title reports, etc.
Both Councilmen Balser and Forman favored going ahead with the
establishment of the Agency by the adoption of the procedural
ordinance and that the provision for eminent domain was necessary for
the full implementation of the program.

With the consent of the Council members Mayor Turner instructed the
staff to prepare an estimate of the cost up to the point of final
approval of at least one project area; also to change the procedural
ordinance and submit at its earliest convenience.
The recommendation of the City Manager was APPROVED on MOTION by
Councilman Balser, seconded by Councilman Reibold and carried
unanimously that the City Council authorize the addition of two
maintenance men positions in the Public Works Department and delete
the gardener position in the Water Department. Funds are available
for this function in the 1964-65 Budget,
Mayor Turner ordered filed with appreciation the letter from the
Arcadia League of Women Voters pertaining to the cooperation it has
received from the City Council and staff.
Discussion was held at length on the contents of the letter from
Mrs, Alan p. Dunn, 101 Palm Drive, regarding Resolution No. 2512 and
a Trust Agreement in connection with Tract No. 27619 which was
completed by Council action on July 16, 1963. Mrs, Dunn was advised
that the City Council had received copies of all communications and
staff reports and had studied same.
The City Attorney explained at length the resolution (No. 2512); that
it is a declaration of policy as recommended by the Planning
Commission and approved by the City Council to encourage the orderly
resubdivision of property; that the trust arrangement was decided
upon by a policy resolution not for the benefit of the subdividers,
although they may receive some benefit therefrom, but for the benefit
of private property owners because improvements are made in '\i::..c~-.
they are under no compulsion to uSe or to pay for until they are so
ready. If they do not use them in 20 years then they may so do
without cost.
He stated further in part that there are only two ways in which the
trust under discussion could be undone, 1) on a voluntary basis by
the parties to the trust; or 2) if the City were so inclined it could
contribute toward the trust fund if they thought that errors had been
made.
It being the consensus of the City Council that its prior decisions
were proper and that no further action is required, MOTION was made
by Councilman Reibold, seconded by Councilman Balser 3,'J ~~D,I~mously

Pursuant to the City Charter, MOTION was made by Councilman Forman,

The City Attorney recalled that sometime ago by the authorization of
the City Council by resolution, the Stipulation for Judgment in the
litigation between the Upper Basin and the Central Basin was
authorized and signed and then likewise by resolution the execution
of a reimbursement contract was authorized. That Agreement provided
by its terms that a validation suit would be brought by the Upper San
Gabriel Valley Munioipal Water District for the purpose of validating
the contract in accordance with the provisions of the Water Code.
The effect of such a suit would be to have a judicial determination
that the contract was authorized by law, was in fact duly executed by 1
the parties, and that the parties signatory were duly authorized to
sign it, and that the contract is binding upon all signing parties.
Such a suit has been filed and the summons has been published,
LITIGATION
Upon recommendation of the City Attorney it was MOVED by Councilman
Forman, seconded by Councilman Reibold and carried unanimously, that
the City Attorney be instructed to attend the hearing at the time the
matter is presented to the Court, but without the necessity of filing
a formal appearance or answer unless subsequent developments indicate
