copy of statement on file in office of the City Clerk). He stated in part
that the Council recognizes the presence of good will and sincerity in both
groups of the controversy, and that they, as fervently as the Council, are
seeking a.way to ultimately terminate the controversy; that the Council
believes there are areas of discussion not yet fully explored and that
consistent with the mandate of the City Charter the communication must be
referred to the Library Board; that the Council will request said Board to
thoughtfully consider the matter and report back to the Council the result
of its deliberations. That it would be the suggestion of the City Council
that the Council of Churches meet with the Library Board and after an
exchange of views, the Library Board can perhaps provide the Council and
the community with a solution to the present situation.
Mayor Butterworth then entertained a motion for the disposition of said I
letter.
Whereupon Councilman Phillips ~ that the letter dated November 26,1962
from the Arcadia Council of Protestant Churches be submitted to the Library

Mayor Butterworth asked for a show of hands as to the overall sentiment
of the audience. Of the approximately 200 persons present, approximately
15% raised their hands in favor of banning the volume, the other 85%
indicating support of the Library in its right to circulate the subject
book.
Mayor Butterworth declared a recess at 9:30 P.M.
The meeting reconvened at 9:40 P.M.
Mayor Butterworth commended the students who had spoken, stating that
they had acquited themselves very well.
The City Manager summarized a report of the Recreation Commission which
recommended that the Council approve the next audio visual report being
of the Recreation Department, showing its program, activities and
facilities, adding that should the Council approve the recommendation it
would require an appropriation of $2500 from the Recreation Fund to the
Recreation Department 1962-63 budget account No. 450-32. Said report
also outlined funds available for recreation and parks use. ,
Discussion ensued.
Councilman Turner stated in substance that in his opinion the present
program and dissemination of the City of Arcadia to the citizens is
advancing quite well in its present pattern of taking it step by step,
and that he MOVED that the Recreation Department be made the subject of
the City's next or subsequent year's report to the citizens through the
audio visual report. Councilman Balser seconded the motion.
Councilman Balser added that in his opinion last year's film of the City
had a good reception; that the one to be shown this year would also
undOUbtedly be good, but that he felt there might be a danger in narrating
more events in the City than the citizens would be able to absorb; however,
that he had no strong objections if the Recreation Department has something
different it wants to present, but that he felt it would be better to have
one film a year, pinpointing particular activities, such as this year's
"Planning" and perhaps next year "Recreation", etc.
Councilman Turner stated that he had been present at the Recreation
Commission meeting at the time it made its subject recommendation and
that he did not want it inferred that he did not agree therewith. That
the reason the Recreation Commission desired such a film was because it
seemed that the Recreation Department programs were not reaching the
people. That his point in making his motion was that it be made a part
of the planned procedure.
Councilman Reibold stated that if it is to be one of an annual series
then he thought the general City should bear the cost, not necessarily
the Recreation Department.
There being no further discussion, the above motion was carried unanimously.

drilling, casing, perforating, developing and testing of a 16 inch water
well known as Orange Grove No. 5 Well, be awarded to the Roscoe Moss Co.
in the amount of $16,083.00; that all other bids be rejected; that any
irregularities or informalities in the bids or bidding process be waived,.
and that the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute such contract
on behalf of the City for the performance of the contract and in the
amount specified, in form approved by the City Attorney. Councilman
Balser seconded the motion which was carried on roll call vote as follows:
AYES: Councilmen Balser, Phillips, Reibold, Turner, Butterworth
NOES: None
ABS'ENT : None
The City Manager advised that a communication dated November 20,.1962
had been received from Mr. John A. Wills, representing the owner, Mrs.
A. W. Laham, regarding the installation of curb, gutter and sidewalk
at 333 North Santa Anita Avenue. He also mentioned that a report by
the Department of Public Works on the matter had been submitted to the
(F'~) Council, said report basically recommending that if the property owner
P..~':.'Adk~does not wish to effect the construction now, and the City feels
.f: ~- immediate construction is unnecessary, that a covenant be filed against
the land, stipulating that at such time as Santa Anita is reconstructed
the then property owner would cause the frontage to be improved in
accordance with the applicable requirements of the Arcadia Municipal Code.

The City Manager continued that.he felt there is basis in Mr. Wills'
communication that there will be construction in that area in the next
year or 18 months when the curb will be reconstructed; however, that
the sidewalk could be constructed now in line with the new elevation
to be established; that there seems to be no objection on th~ part of
staff to complying to some extent with Mr. Wills' request to defer the
installation of the sidewalk.

15:5841
In reply to Mayor Butterworth's query as to whether he had any recommen-
dation other than the filing of a covenant by Mr. Wills, the City Attorney
replied that he would prefer a cash deposit rather than a covenant, as
cash is easier to translate into the cost of production; however, since
the 'date of the proposed improvement is uncertain and accordingly the cost
is not certain, a cash deposit might be impractical.
Whereupon Councilman Phillips MOVED that'the Council approve a limited
waiver of the provisions of the Arcadia Municipal Code to the extent that
the owner of the property located at 333 North Santa Anita Avenue be
permitted to perform construction on said property without the present
construction of sidewalk and curb improvements otherwise required, and
to substitute for the present curb and sidewalk construction the filing
of a covenant agreeing to so do, and to bear his proper share of the costs
at such time as improvements are made. Councilman Reibold seconded the
motion which was carried unanimously.
The City Manager advised that a communication dated November 27, 1962
addressed to the Council, had been received from Mr. W. A. Murphy, 185
W. Longden Avenue, requesting the removal of a tree on El Monte Avenue,
south of Longden Avenue. That in his opinion the tree should be removed
but inasmuch as it is located on the applicant's property it is his
responsibility. That at the subject location the parkway is only two
feet in width from the face of the curb line, and it being the desire of
the City to widen this parkway to 12 feet, which would require the
dedication of 10 feet by Mr. Murphy, the City could then remove the tree.
with City crews.
Mr. Murphy not being present at the meeting, and it being ,the City Manager's
recommendation that Mr. Murphy be notified of the City's position with
regard to the removal of the subject tree, and the C~uncil concurring with
the City Manager's recommendation, Mayor Butterworth ordered the communi-
cation duly filed and Mr. Murphy apprised of the Council's determination.
The. City Manager advised that since the November 7, 1962 Council Meeting,
at which time the Council adopted a resolution regarding supplemental
water supply and urged the Bo~rd of Directors of the Upper San Gabriel
Valley Municipal Water District to seek annexation to the Metropolitan
Water District, such action to be taken as soon as the District received
reassurance from the Metropolitan Water District that the District will
have Northern California water available for replenishment purposes
through facilities of the Metropolitan Water District, Councilman Reibold
(Council's liaison with the Water Board) and his office have had an
opportunity to review in detail the full minutes of the Metropolitan Water
District Board Meeting dealing with the subject matter, correspondence
from the Upper San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District to the Chairman
of the Board of Directors of the Metropolitan Water District, Mr. Jensen's
reply and the contract between the State of California and Metropolitan
Water District, said contract showing that when reference is made to
project water it is defined as Northern California water. That a careful
analysis of the documents, in addition to discussion with Board members
and their attorney, has convinced them that the reassurance requested in
the resolution is contained in said correspondence.
After brief discussion, Councilman Phillips MOVED that the Council accept
the recommendation of Councilman Reibold and the City Manager and that
the Upper San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District be advised that the
City of Arcadia is satisfied, after reviewing the record, that State water
will be delivered by the Metropolitan Water District to this area for
replenishment and other purposes as soon as same is available to the
Metropolitan Water District. Councilman Balser seconded the motion which
was carried unanimously.

The City Manager advised that certain drainage installations have been made
on the upper Santa Anita Canyon Road in order to relieve the City of possible
future liability due to erosion, said installation not being anticipated in
the 1962-63 budget, the total cost connected therewith being $1,631.80. That
it is anticipated that the labor and equipment cost will be absorbed in the
budget; and that it is recommended that the materials be paid from Capital
Projects.
Whereupon Councilman Phillips MOVED that the Council accept the recommen-
dation of the City Manager and authorize the transfer of $500.92 from the
Reserve for Capital Projects Account No. 285 in the General Fund to
Capital Improvement Project - Santa Anita Canyon Road Drainage No. 619.
Councilman Turner seconded the motion which was carried on roll call vote
as follows:

AYES: Councilmen Balser, Phillips, Reibold, Turner, Butterworth
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
The City Manager advised that although the grading has been completed on
the Holly-Huntington point, the sum of $3000 set up for the beautification
of said point, as part of the original proposal of the Chamber of Commerce
to construct a building at said location, will not suffice inasmuch as
such construction has been indefinitely postponed and the area to be
developed being consequently larger than anticipated, and that it is his
recommendation that the area be beautified at this time.
Whereupon Councilman Turner ~ that the Council accept the recommen-
dation of the City Manager and authorize the appropriation and transfer of
$5000 from Reserve for Capital Projects Account No. 285, in the General
Fund, to Capital Projects Account No. 620, Holly-Huntington Point
Beautification. Councilman Reibold seconded the motion which was carried
on roll call vote as follows:
AYES: Councilmen Balser, Phillips, Reibold, Turner, Butterworth
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
The City Manager advised that on July 17, 1962 the City Council authorized
the execution of a contract between the City and William Guy Garwood for
architectural services in connection with the completion of the Children's
and Young People's Room in the Library. That such contract provides for
the Architect's fee to be 8% of the final costs of the "Works" as defined
in the agreement and that the method of payment be: A: 5% of the basic
fee of 8% of the Architect's cost estimate at completion of contract
construction documents; B: 100% of the basic fee of 8% of the actual final
construction cost upon completion of construction. That work contemplated
under item A has been completed to the satisfaction of the Library Building I ,
Committee and payment under said section is due. That the Architect's cost . .
estimate is $55,000 and the amount due him is $3,740.
Councilman Turner questioned the increase in the Architect's cost estimate
and it was explained that additional work had been ordered over that
originally anticipated.
Councilman Phillips thereupon MOVED that the Council accept the recommen-
dation of the City Manager and authorize the appropriation and transfer
of $4,000 from the Reserve for Capital Projects Account No. 285 in the
General Fund to Capital' Projects Account No. 506 - Library Children's
and Young People's Room. Councilman Balser seconded the motion which was

divisions and other projects during the past 12 months, such district
being formed in accordance with the provisions of the Municipal Lighting
Maintenance District Act of 1927, Division 14, Part 3 of Streets and

offered the sum of $3,200 for a parcel of land owned by the City,
containing 1.017 acres, presently included in the lease to the Par-3
Golf Course, which has been physically occupied by said League for a
number of years; that the golf course operators have requested the
.elimination from their lease of said parcel; that since the parcel abuts
the Los Angeles County Flood Contro,l right of way, it had been considered
using it as a staging area.site b~t that the size and shape of the parcel
and its lack of public access precludes such use.
Whereupon Councilman Balser MOVED that the Council accept. the recommen-
dation of the Land Committee and 1) instruct the City Attorney to prepare
an amendment of the lease of the Par-3 Golf Course by excluding the
subject parcel from their lease and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to
