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 Board for its study and report to the Council and that a copy of Mayor Butterworth's remarks made at this meeting, summarizing the situation, be submitted to the Board members and the Librarian.

I BID AWARD (Orange Grove No. 5 Well) (F: 951) \ 15:5839 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.

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. CURB, GUTTER 6< SIDEWALK (333 North .Santa Anita) I 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. 4. 12-4-62 I TREE REMOVAL (W. A. Murphy) (P: Tree Removal) SUPPLEMENTAL WATER,SUPPLY I 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. 5. 12-4-62 CANYON ROAD (Storm Pipe Installation) HOLLY- HUNTINGTON POINT BEAUTIFICATION (F: Fund Transfer) LIBRARY (Children's & Young People's Room Comptetion) 15:5842 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: I 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.

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.
