JUNE 6, 1961
The City Council of the City of Arcadia met in regular session in the
Council Chamber of the City Hall at 8:00 o'clock P.M., June 6, 1961.
The Invocation was offered by Rev. A. Karl Myers, Pastor of the Village

Motion by Councilman Butterworth, seconded by Councilman Reibold and
carried unanimously that the Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting of
May 16, 1961 be corrected on page 1 under "Hearing - Cordelius" to read
"June 6, 1961" instead of "June 20, 1961" and as thus corrected be
approved as submitted in writing.
Councilman Phillips presented to Councilman Camphouse a plaque honoring
his many years of community service and leadership as Councilman and twice
serving as Mayor of the City of Arcadia.
Hearing on the application of Melvin Blons and Stanley Ward for a business
permit to allow soliciting merchants directly for advertising to be
incorporated in coupon books for sale to residents by telephone solici-
tation was continued at the May 2, 1961 Council Meeting to enable the
applicants to endeavor to secure local sponsorship.
Mayor Balser inquired if the applicant was present at this meeting and
wished to address the Council, and receiving no response he asked if anyone
else desired to be heard.
Mr. H. Wentworth, Manager of the Arcadia Chamber of Commerce, spoke, stat-
ing in substance that'he had communicated with the applicant and had
indicated that unless local sponsorship, responsible to the Council, was
secured by the applicant the Chamber of Commerce would not look favorably
upon the venture; also that he was reasonably sure that the applicant had
not obtained sponsorship from the Junior Chamber of Commerce or anyone else.
There being no one else desiring to be heard Councilman Camphouse moved
that the hearing be closed. Motion seconded by Councilman Reibold and
carried unanimously.
Councilman Reibold moved that the Council find and determine that the
granting of the permit and the conduct of the business for which the
permit was requested will be detrimental to the public welfare of the
City of Arcadia and the inhabitants thereof and that the Council deny
the application of Melvin Blons and Stanley Ward, partners, doing business
as Merchant 's Samp'ler Advertising, 11350 Ventu~a Boulevard, Studio City,
for a business permit to allow soliciting merchants directly for advertis-
ing to be incorporated in coupon books for sale to residents by telephone
solicitation. Councilman Camphouse seconded the motion which was
carried on roll call vote as follows:

ABSTAINING: Councilmen Butterworth and Phillips due to absence from the
May 2, 1961 Council Meeting.
Mayor Balser declared the hearing open on Planning Commission Resolution
No. 406 recommending Denial of the request of Dr. Henry F. Cordelius for
a change of zone from R-2 to R-3 on property located at 747 to 803 West
Camino Real Avenue, and inquired if anyone in the audience desired to be
heard on the matter.
Mr. Henry Hege, 651 West Duarte Road, attorney representing the apPlicantl
addressed the Council, and stated in substance that the recommended denia
of the Planning Commission should be overruled for the following reasons:
That the area involved is approximately 400 feet east of the corner of
Baldwin and Camino Real Avenues, there being a gas station located on the
southwest corner and a possibility of another on the northwest corner;
that the next two lots are occupied by apartment houses and immediately
east of applicant's property is the Hinshaw Department Store warehouse,
recently constructed; that the area was developed prior to its annexation
to Arcadia and cognizance should be taken of the type of construction and
building presently there. That applicant does not intend at any time to
build an apartment house, but rather individual residential-type units,
the number depending upon the type of construction. That there were no
objections to the application and no protests made at the hearing before
the Planning Commission but that 18 signatures approved the application,
and that to deny the applicant the right to develop his property in
accordance with the ~egulations as set forth in R-3 zoning rather than R-2
would be detrimental to him and would require a greater amount of
restrictions on his property than on property developed immediately adjacent
to him.
At Mayor Balser's request, Mr. Ervin H. Golisch, Planning Commission's
liaison with the Council, explained in substance the conclusions reached
by the Commission, to wit: that from the standpoint of good zoning the
present R-2 is adequate, affording an economic return to the individual;
that it is a good buffer zone to the nearby commercial p~operty; that there
is a tremendous influx of additional R-3 zoning within the City and if this
particular area is rezoned from R-2 to R-3 there would be no logical reason
to deny other applications in that area for change of zone from R-2 to R-3.
That the Planning Commission recognizes that in certain instances it is
necessary to have additional R-3 zoning, such as along major thoroughfares,
but the subject area is what might be called a side street and a residential
area. That the Planning Commission voted unanimously to deny the requested
rezoning on the basis that although it might be to the economic advantage
of the individual in question it would not be to the advantage of the City
as a whole, and that the Planning Commission looks upon such matters as
they affect the entire City. Mr. Golisch continued in part that with
regard to the applicant's indication that he would not develop the properl
with large apartment houses, that there is nothing to stop him from doing
that later on or to stop other people in the area from doing likewise.
No one else desiring to be heard, Councilman Butterworth moved that the
hearing be closed. Councilman Camphouse seconded the motion which was
carried on roll call vote as follows:
AYES: Councilmen Butterworth, Camphouse, Reibold, Phillips, Balser
NOES: None

The Director of Public Works indicated on the wall map the location of the
property in question.

Councilman Reibold stated in part that he felt that although the Planning
Commission had stated that at some future time R-J zoning may become
necessary such zoning is premature at this time and that there seems to
be more need for single family residences than for apartments, he could
not imagine building a single family dwelling on property 66 feet wide
and 300 feet deep; also that there was a single family residence presently
on the property. That he could feel no great concern over the westward
movement of Zone R-J since in this particular instance it can only move
two lots before leaving the City limits. Also that it has been his feel-
ing that Council favored the passing of Zone R-2,
I
INDEXED Councilman Camphouse then moved that Council accept the recommendation
of the Planning Commission as contained in its Resolution No. 406 and
that the request of Dr. Henry F, Cordelius for a change of zone from R-2
to R-J on property located at 747 to 803 West Camino Real be denied.
Councilman Butterworth seconded the motion.

Councilman Butterworth stated in part that in his opinion, if a matter
is doubtful he thought the correct policy the Council should follow is
to sustain its Planning Commission, That he thought the reasons asserted
by the Planning Commission are meritorious and justified, and that the
Council should sustain the Planning Commission; that it is good policy so
to do.
Mayor Balser stated in part that he agreed with the Planning Commission
that there is an abundance of R-J in Arcadia; but that he could not
conscientiously say that in this instance it should not be granted; that
R-J would be a better buffer against the warehouse than R-2.
Councilman Reibold felt that R-2 would better be in one of the other two
classifications; that he did not favor R-2 zoning.
Councilman Phillips stated in part that he also did not think R-2 means
very much in the City's zoning code; that it is not a good zone, but that
he felt it good policy to sustain the Planning Commission.
The above motion was thereafter carried on the following roll call:

ABSENT: None
Hearing on Planning Commission Resolution No. 407 recommending denial of
the application of James C, and Ora Reed Greer for a zone variance to
allow the construction and maintenance of a Richfield Service Station at
the northwest corner of Duarte Road and Golden West Avenue,
The City Clerk advised that two communications had been received in regard
to the subject matter, one dated June 5, 1961 from Florence M. and Walter
C, Larson, 1218 South Golden West Avenue, protesting the requested zone
variance, and one from Fred N, Howser, attorney for the applicants, dated
May 25, 1961, requesting that the matter of appeal be continued until
the first meeting of the Council in November, 1961 in order to enable him to
discuss the matter with the new City Planner,
Mayor Balser then declared the hearing open and inquired if anyone in
the audience desired to be heard on the matter,
Mr, August Goebel addressed the Council, advising that he was an
attorney representing Industrial Leasing, and upon being advised by
Mayor Balser that it appeared that the matter would be continued, stated
that no useful purpose would be served at this time by voicing his
client's objections to the granting of the variance and that he would
reserve his opportunity to come before the Council until such time as
the matter is heard.

Mayor Balser then stated that anyone present in the audience who did not
anticipate being able to be present at a future date would be heard by the
Council at this time.
No one desiring to be heard Councilman Reibold moved that the hearing be
continued to the first Council meeting in November (November 7, 1961).
Councilman Camphouse seconded the motion which was carried unanimously.
Mayor Balser declared the hearing open on Planning Commission Resolution
No. 409, recommending denial of the application of Ellen Miller and others
for a change of zone from R-l and R-2 to C-3 and D for six lots on the
north side of Naomi Avenue, east of Baldwin Avenue. I '
The City Clerk advised that no correspondence had been received regarding
the matter.
Mayor Balser inquired if anyone in the audience desired to address the
Council in favor of the requested zone change.
Mr. Henry Hege, an attorney representing the applicants, addressed the
Council, stating in part that he felt Councilman Butterworth's statement
made during the hearing on the Cornelius matter, that "he thought
recommendations of the Planning Commission should be upheld unless they
are doubtful," is arbitrary and capricious; that the six lots in question
are but a small portion of an area which the Planning Commission, after
app~oximately a year's study, recommended for rezoning and in which
recommendation the Council unanimously concurred.
Mr. Hege continued, stating in part that he did not believe this is strip
zoning as stated in Planning Commission's Resolution No. 409, as these six
lots immediately adjoin C-2 property and parking lots. That the contents
of the Planning Commission resolution, that it may become necessary at
some future date to rezone the subject property, is precluded by its
recommendation and Council's decision a year ago that it was proper zoning.
Mr. Hege also mentioned the Security Building, the Mutual Building (to be
completed in July), the bowling alley on Baldwin Avenue and Market Square,
all in the immediate vicinity, and that with regard to the Planning Com-
mission's statement that the p~operty in question, if rezoned, would not
provide a proper buffer for adjacent residential properties, he did not
know what residential property was being referred to in that the subject
lots are completely surrounded by parking lots or C-2 zoning; that the
property owners immediately south of the existing C-2 zoning would not be
penalized at this time because proper development of Arcadia would demand
more C-2 at a later date. That the Planning Commission's contention that
it does not appear the~e is need for more commercial zoning in the area is
refuted by the fact that there has been substantial building in the area
and additional retail stores are proper and an absolute necessity for the
proper development of the City.
Mr. Hege also commented that there were no objections expressed at the I
Planning Commission meeting and the West Arcadia Home Owners Association,
who were the primary objectors to the rezoning at the time it was previou
ly passed, went on record in writing that they had no objections to the
requested rezoning.
Mr. Hege also stated in part that the applicants recognize all the time
spent by both the Planning Commission and the Council in the previous
study of the area and have no objection to the imposition of all the
conditions previously placed upon the rezoning of the area being placed
upon the properties in question. That he did not feel an additional
study of the entire area would be beneficial at this time as the same
circumstances exist that existed at the time the the change of zone was
originally approved by the Planning Commission and the Council, except
for the fact that there has been a great deal of utilization of the C-2
area, and that in his opinion the public necessity, convenience and
general welfare and good zoning practice justifies a change of zone at

this time, in fact makes it mandatory that the Council g~ant the
requested zone change.
The Director of Public Works indicated the six subject lots on the wall
map, and Mayor Balser inquired if anyone else in the audience desired to
speak in favor of the zone change.
Mrs. A. L. Wilson, 626 West Naomi' Avenue, Mr. Michael J. Blake, 1245
Lovell Avenue and Mrs. Fred Miller, 630 Naomi Avenue, addressed the Council,
expressing favor of the requested rezoning.
Mr. Ervin H. Golisch, Planning Commission's liaison with the Council,
summarized the reasons arrived at by the Planning Commission which
resulted in their recommendation as contained in Resolution No. 409,
stating in part that several informal meetings had been held with some
of the people appearing at this meeting and representatives of the West
A~cadia Home Owners Aasociation. That their thought in calling the
requested zone change strip zoning was because it was a matter of only
six lots. He pointed to the lots in question on the wall map as well as
to the R-l in the vicinity and stated that if the six lots were rezoned
commercial it was felt that logically this zoning would have to be
granted to the other area; that piecemeal zoning would not be to the
advantage of the City; that the reason there is an excellent commercial
area on Baldwin Avenue between Duarte Road and Naomi Avenue is because
of the uniform development and that should be continued. Also, with the
employment by the City of a Planning Director it was felt that the area
should be viewed in its entirety so that it will be a uniform and cohesive
unit and to the advantage of the City.
No one else desiring to speak either in favor of or in opposition to the
requested rezoning Councilman Camphouse moved that the hearing be closed.
Motion seconded by Councilman Phillips and carried unanimously.
The Councilmen then stated in part as follows:
Councilman Camphouse: That several years ago a few residents in the area
requested rezoning for their lots and Council suggested that a total
proposition would be looked upon favorably; that this was attempted but
apparently too much territory was involved. That in his opinion, if the
requested rezoning is right at this time it should be granted as a step
in the right direction working toward a goal.
Councilman Reibold: That had the area previously been rezoned piecemeal
it would probably be an accomplished fact at this time; that his opinion
coincides with that of Councilman Camphouse in that if it is good zoning
it applies, whether piecemeal or as a whole. He added that progress
cannot await the arrival of the new Planning Director and that some
further staff study, with a time limit, would be advantageous, but that
he could not in this instance sustain the Planning Commission's
recommendation.
Councilman Phillips: That even if the same restrictions as contained in
Ordinance No. 1071 were imposed on the property in question it might not
develop in the same manner as if it were part of a whole; that if he
could be assured that the said restrictions would be sufficient to insure
proper development he would not object to the ~ezoning. That section 3
of Planning Commission Resolution No. 409 does not include all the
evidence received at this hearing nor at the planning table and that he
would hesitate to uphold the Planning Commission in its denial thus terminatin
the application; that he would be inclined to take the matter under advise-
ment so that Council could have full control of the ultimate disposition.
Councilman Butterworth: That he desired to restate his position with
regard to the Council sustaining the recommendations of the Planning
Commission as he might have stated it awkwardly earlier in the evening.
That he felt it is good City policy to sustain the Planning Commission
even in doubtful matters and to reverse its recommendations only where
there is ~eason to believe it has acted in an arbitrary manner.

Councilman Butterworth added in pa~t that the Planning Commission has
had the benefit of more evidence than the Council and has made a study
of the situation. That as he unde~stands its attitude, it does not
oppose commercial zoning but p~ima~ily wants consistent commercial zoning
in the area. That this is a very sensitive area and the new Planning
Director should be given an opportunity to review the matter. That he
agrees that the lots cannot remain R-l but that it is just a matter of
when it is going to be changed and under what conditions and that the
recommendation of the Planning Commission is not to deny but simply'to
take some time to have the matter reviewed by the Planning Director,
which, in his opinion, is not an a~bitra~y recommendation but one to be
supported.
Mayor Balser: That he concurred in the sentiment expressed by some of I
the Councilmen that commercial zoning is warranted on these six lots but
that he agreed with the Planning Commission that it would be difficult to
get a D overlay that would be in keeping with the area if the six subject
lots a~e zoned comme~cial; that in his opinion a larger area should be
considered. That the fact that the residents across the street expressed
no objections would start commercial zoning across the street and that he
thought a better planning job could be done for the City if a larger area
is considered.
Councilman Phillips then moved that the application of Ellen Miller and
others for a change of zone from R-l and R-2 to C-3 and D for six lots on
the no~th side of Naomi Avenue east of Baldwin Avenue be taken under
advisement; that the staff be instructed to prepare for the Council the
conditions imposed under the o~iginal zoning as contained in Ordinance
No, 1071 and their effect upon the subject lots, and that Counsel for the
applicants be furnished copy thereof. Councilman Camphouse seconded the
motion which was carried on roll call vote as follows:

suspension of amusement game pennits at 73 West: Huntington Drive and
continued to this meeting for Councilmanic ultimate decision.
Councilman Butterworth stated that in view of the evidence deduced at the
last Council meeting, including the statements of the parties involved,
that he moved that Council approve the recommendation of the City Manager;
that the suspension be sustained and the pennits issued to Robert E. Dunne
for the operation of a BaIley Kingpin Bowler and to LaVon I. Hanson to
operate a coin operated pool table, at 73 West Huntington Drive, Arcadia,
be permanently revoked for ,the reason that the person in charge thereof I

The City Manager reported on bids received June 5, 1961 for protective
coating for internal surfaces of steel water reservoirs at the Orange
Grove site; that on Orange Grove No.3 there were 8 bids received, the
low bid being $13,398 and the high $18,322 and on No.4 there were
likewise 8 bids received, the low bid being $13,398 and the high $18,322.
Motion by Councilman Butterworth, seconded by Councilman Phillips and
carried unanimously that Council accept the recommendation of the City
Manager and that the above bids be held firm for a period of 30 days as
provided for in the notice inviting bids until a complete analysis is
made of the bids as well as the specifications submitted therewith.
The City Manager submitted the report of the Council Committee (Reibold-
Phillips) on their study regarding the liability of those residents in
the area south of Live Oak Avenue and east of Double Drive to the City
if they are annexed as petitioned.
The City Manager advised that the report is predicated on conditions as
of June 30, 1960 since the last audit of the City is for the period I
ending that date; that the assets of the City reflect only those assets
contributing to 'the service requirements of the area or add to the asset
of the area, and that the summation of the Committee's conclusions resul
in the following recommendations to the Council:
1. That a lump sum of $111,274 be assumed by the area upon annexation.
2. That said sum be spread ove~ a five year period on the basis of
assessed valuation in the area annexed.
3. If the annexation is consummated, the amount spread for this purpose
shall be set aside and funded for Capital Projects.
4. That the City Council will not assume any obligation to purchase the
existing privately-owned water system.
5. If at some future date the residents of the area petition the City
to acquire 'the privately-owned water system that the following
method be used to pay for same;

(a) The area involved shall be obligated to pay the then
existing water rates within the City's system, plus an
amount required to meet the principle and interest on
the purchase price of the system.
(b) Maintenance of the system purchased shall be by the City.
The City Manager continued that on the basis of the estimated assessed
valuation of the area for 1960, the tax rate for the first year would
be .657 per $100 of assessed valuation; that if the 1961 assessed
valuation for the area has increased by $450,000 the tax rate for the
first year would be .580 per $100 of assessed valuation, this rate
decreasing annually as valuations increased.
Councilmen Phillips and Reibold explained at length their method of
arriving at the various figures in the report, adding that they were
able to mutually arrive at the figures but that there should not be
read into their recommendations that Councilman Reibold agreed to the
annexation or that Councilman Phillips agreed to a fee of any kind.
After discussion as to whether or not a recreation fee should be added
to the annexation fee it was agreed that a compromise recreation fee
of half of $25.00, the amount charged in Arcadia on lot splits and
subdivisions, be added, increasing the recommended amount $9000, or a
total of $120,000.
Councilman Butterworth stated that the President of the Board of
Education had asked that he remind those interested in annexing that
annexation to Arcadia would not insure the area becoming part of the
Arcadia Unified School District. He then suggested that the report be
amended to the effect that the City of Arcadia has no jurisdiction over
the School District and that the residents of the subject area be so
informed. Councilman Phillips stated in part that the committee had
concerned itself only with matters involving the finances of the City
and other matters such as rubbish pickup, etc.
Councilman Reibold made the following suggestions: 1) that the Council
accept the report as written; 2) that if Council feels that some part
of the Recreation fee should be included in the annexation fee, that-it
be raised to $120,000; 3) whether a fee shall be charged; 4) the matter
of the conditions, such as the fee, the school situation, rubbish, etc.
Councilman Camphouse moved that Council accept the report of the Committee
as submitted. Councilman Reibold seconded the motion.
Councilman Butterworth then moved an amendment to the motion; that the
report be amended to include a Recreation fee in the sum of approximately
$9000 to the end that the net charge to be assessed on the annexation be
$120,000.
Councilman Camphouse stated that his understanding of Councilman Reibold's
suggestions was that there were to be two motions, because he could vote
for one but could not vote for the other.
Upon the City Attorney's statement that Councilman Butterworth's motion
on the inclusion of an annexation fee was ,in order, Councilman Reibold
seconded the motion which was carried on roll call vote as follows:
AYES: Councilmen Butterworth, Reibold, Balser
NOES: Councilmen Camphouse, Phillips
ABSENT: None
Councilman Butterworth further moved that the motion to accept the
report as thus amended be passed. Councilman Reibold seconded the

Inasmuch as the boundaries of the proposed annexation have been altered I
by the elimination of the southerly portion thereof, Councilman Phillips
moved that the Council accept the recommendation of the City Manager
and the City Attorney and that the proposal based on the revised
description be re-referred to the Planning Commission for its report or
recommendation pursuant to Section 35108 of the Government Code, and
that the City Attorney present to the Council at the Council meeting of

be made available to the leaders of the annexation movement. Councilman

AYES: Councilmen Butterworth, Camphouse, Reibold, Phillips, Balser
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
Councilman Reibold added that he wished the record to show that by so
voting he did not wish it implied that he was necessarily in favor of
the annexation.
Several persons from the audience asked questions regarding annexation
fees in general; whether the City would require such fees in other
annexations and whether a fee was paid on the southerly portion of the
subject area which was recently annexed to Arcadia. With regard to the
latter question they were advised that the City purchased that propertY'1
When asked if copies of the report as submitted by the committee could

The City Manager advised that with regard to the City's request of the
Methodist Hospital to release to the City that portion of the property
leased to them by the City, located at Holly Avenue and referred to as
the "tip" to permit the City to proceed with some initial beautification
pending its possible development by the Chamber of Commerce, an amendment
was prepared and submitted to the Board of Trustees of said hospital to
comply with the Council's intent. That a communication was received from
the hospital administrator pointing out the fact that no provision had
been made for the right of the Board to approve any plans for the
construction on the property during the balance of the lease period as

the City had indicated in its previous communication to the Board and
that the Board is requesting to have included in the amendment the
reversion of the property on the north presently under option to the
hospital, said property being located between the two Huntington Drives
at Civic Center Place, containing approximately three acres with a
depth of 260 feet south of Civic Center Place, referred to as "additional
property" .
Whereupon Councilman Camp house moved that Council approve the recommen-
dation of the City Manager and authorize the present status of the
so-called "additional property" being maintained until July 1, 1966 or
until concrete proposals are made for its use either by the City or the
Hospital Board, and that the agreement originally submitted to the
Board be resubmitted with the inclusion of a provision for review by
the Board of any plans for development of the so-called "tip property".
Councilman Butterworth seconded the motion which was carried unanimously.
The City Manager submitted a preliminary draft for the reorganization
of the Los Angeles County and Cities Civil Defense Planning Board into
the Los Angeles County and Cities Disaster and Civil Defense Commission.
That the creation of the Commission as proposed gives official status
to the group and develops an action group through which the State may
operate in the County in case of a disaster. That the County of Los
Angeles is ready and willing to accept this proposal if the plan is the
desire of the Cities and that no additional funds will be required of
the County or Cities to carry out the contemplated program.
Motion by Councilman Reibold, seconded by Councilman Phillips and carried
by the "Aye" vote of Councilmen Butterworth, Reibold, Phillips and
Balser; Councilman Camphouse voting "No", that the Council accept the
recommendation of the City Manager and endorse the proposal as outlined
in the preliminary draft submitted entitled: "LOS ANGELES COUNTY AND
CITIES DISASTER AND CIVIL DEFENSE COMMISSION" and that the Los Angeles
County Division of the League of California Cities be advised of
Council's action in said matter.
The City Manager submitted a report of the Civic Affairs Committee of
the Arcadia Board of Realtors rega~ding the proposed lease or sale of
the vacated library building and recommended that he be authorized to
enter into an agreement with the Arcadia Board of Realtors for their
exclusive handling of said property for a period not to exceed six
months.
Discussion ensued as to the terms and conditions of lease and/or sale,
commissions, etc. The City Manager advised that the conditions of lease
and/or sale were listed in his communication to the Council of April 14,
1961, adding that the Council will retain complete control of either
procedure as any proposal will come before it for ratification.
Mr. Bill Williams, Chairman of the Civic Affairs Committee, explained
that all the conditions imposed were fully understood; that it had been
made clear that in the event of a sale of the property no proposition
detrimental to the City will be considered and that no step will be
taken without prior approval, and that no proposition will be submitted
to the Council unless it comes within the scope of the specifications
set forth. Upon questioning by the City Attorney, it was made clear
that the agreement constituted an exclusive right of sale; that the
realtors would be entitled to the specified commission for any sale
made within the six months period regardless of how contact was made
with the purchaser; but that no commission would be due and payable
to any realtor even if he produced a buyer, unless the sale met with
the satisfaction of the Council and was actually consummated.

The City Manager advised that on March 1, .1960 the Council discussed
at length a request to ;accept,:or refuse to accept certain improvements

acceptance involved a change in street grade made by the subdivider's
engineer and inadequate storm drainage installed for a large area dis-
charging water into the tract. That the motion to accept the improve-
ments as instal~ed failed to car~y and the motion that the improvements
in said tract be approved if and when the subdivider deposited with the
City one-third of the $5000, being the estimated cost of correcting the
situation, was withdrawn, the minutes containing the statement that the
Council had indicated by its vote that they we~e willing to cooperate
to some extent and are not adamant in their position.

map was a request for payment from the City of the sum of $3,480.40 for
additional drainage required by the City; that the matter concerning
possible payment by the City for the cost of additional drainage in
Tract No. 25368 was referred to staff for study and report, but to date
no official action has been taken on this matter.
The City Manager continued that an effort has been made by the City to
reach an agreement with the two subdividers but without success as to
total agreement; that final construction costs have been thoroughly
reviewed and insofar as the City is concerned the final total costs of
the additional facilities required to provide an adequate drainage system
amounts to $3,690.50.

Regarding the matter of warning signs to be posted in the school:acme I
on Santa Anita Avenue at Wistaria Avenue, as requested by the Santa Ani
P.T.A. and discussed at the Council meeting of May 16, 1961, Mr. Edwin
Johnson of 1905 South Santa Anita Avenue, representing said P.T.A.
again addressed the Council, thanking them for the stop sign installed
in front of the Santa Anita School.
Mr. Johnson added that nhe P.T.A. had been under the impression that
traffic traveling north would be surveyed and reported on at this
council meeting and that the street would be painted for northbound
traffic. That this has not been done and because of the approach of
summer school and pl~yground sessions it was wondered if this has been
ordered.

it would necessitate new proceedings by resolution of intention to
vacate, posting the property and holding a hearing.
