Mayor Balser declared the hearing open on the applicat~on for a business
permit of Marsh Dozar, 3956 Stone Canyon, Sherman Oaks, California, Vice
President of Greene & Associates, 1419 S, La Brea Avenue, Los Angeles,
California, to hold a public auction for the Union Bank and Trust Company
of Los Angeles of real property located at 1919 Wilson Avenue.
The City Clerk read a copy of a communication dated March 5, 1962 from
Mr. Griffin S, Blake, President of the Arcadia Board of Realtors, the
original of which had been sent to Mr. Harry J. Volk, President of the
Union Bank and Trust Company, owner of the foreclosed property proposed
to be auctioned, said letter in substance protesting the bank's ~~thod
of disposing of the property, which method might, in their opinior., give
the impression that the property is located in a distressed areaj and
requesting that the bank reply to the communication as soon as possible
after further consideration of the matter.
Mayor Balser then inquired if anyone desired to address the Council with
regard to the matter.
The applicant (Mr, Dozar) addressed the Council and stated in part that
in his opinion the proposed method of selling real estate is more
1.
3-6-62
14:5629
expeditious and profitable to the principal; that it would not be
detrimental to property values in the area, such method having been used
in other valuable residential neighborhoods with no ill effect; he
explained his method of operation, in substance, that the property is
shown prior to the time of sale and on the morning of the sale day; that
prospects are given an opportunity to examine the property; that the sale
is conducted on the premises and sold to the highest bidder subject to
confirmation. He added that the subject property was in a neglected
condition until refurbished about three months ago.
In reply to various questions the applicant stated in part that the
property could be sold for any price the bank felt it wanted to confirm;
that he is not aware at this time as to the market price of the property;
and that the bank would not be a bidder.
I
No one else desiring to be heard Councilman Butterworth MOVED that the
hearing be closed. Councilman Reibold seconded the motion which was
carried unanimously.
Discussion ensued, and the following statements in part were made:
Councilman Camphouse: That there has not been sufficient time for a reply
from the bank to the Realty Board's communication; that the Realty Board
has always been cooperative and in his opinion should be given due
consideration by the Council; that he did not think the proposed method
of selling the property would necessarily develop in the best results and
that he did not feel that the applicant had effectively answered his
question as to the difference between the acquisition cost to the bank and
the selling price.
Councilman Butterworth: That this is a matter of private business and the
owner must decide as to how he wants to sell his own property. That it
is not Council's prerogative to substitute its judgment.
The following roll call was then taken of the above motion:
AYES: Councilmen Camphouse. Phillips. Balser
NOES: Councilmen Butterworth. Reibold
ABSENT: None
Councilman Butterworth further stated that the above motion is tantamount
to the Council establishing a policy that people cannot auction real estate
in Arcadia; that the Council. in disapproving the application. is stating
in effect that no home owner now in Arcadia can sell his home by auction in
the future. by mandate of this City Council; that in his opinion this is
interference with free enterprise; that the bank cannot take the real
estate elsewhere and that he thought the vote should be reconsidered. that
the Council should think about it; that he hoped he would not get the
benefit of being against the realtors in this community because they
deserve to be supported. I
The applicant, Mr. Dozar, spoke again, stating in part that he has a State
license as a real estate broker and questioned whether he would be denied
and upon what ground if he were to move into this community to operate or
hold a real estate auction; that a real estate broker in the State of
California has the right to sell or alienate property for a principal in
any part of the State of California; that there is legislation pending in
Sacramento on this.
Councilman Butterworth stated again, in part, that he felt the Council
fs reaching a. point where people cannot operate a business if the Council
does not happen to like the business; that he thought the Council should
reconsider the situation; that he did not honestly believe the real estate
people in this community would want, even indirectly, any policy where
real estate could not be sold without going through a local broker; that
it is the bank's decision whether it wants to go through the local
realtors.

Coun~ilman Butterworth thereupon ~ that the Council reccusider its
decision. Councilman Reibold seconded the motion.
Coun~ilman Phillips stated. in part that this is not a business man of
Arcadia seeking to do business here; that he was not sure that Council
would grant the same sort of privilege to a business man in Arcadia,
otherwise there would not. be in the Arcadia Municipal Code the requirement
that a permit for an auction of any nature' be obtained.
I
Coun~ilman Reibold stated in part that he felt the interpretation of the
Code regarding securing a permit for an auction was to, in effect, exclude
a place being established where the main source of income was bringing in
distressed goods to be sold at auction; that it was intended for situations
such as the subject matter. That the Realty Board's letter to the bank, in
his opinion, is only a protest for adopting certain procedures and not an
Inference that the Council deny the requested permit; that he agreed that
the realtors have been cooperative but that Council's protection should be
lawful; that he knew the realtors would prefer the bank working through
them but that the City does not have any regulation requiring the exclusive
use of Arcadia realtors.
Mayor Balser: That to his knowledge there has never been a similar
request; that he did not believe this is the proper way to sell real
estate in a residential area.
The City Attorney pointed out that this is not a foreclosure sale; that
the property has already been foreclosed and title passed to the bank
which desires to recapture its money by disposing of the property and has
selected an auction for such purpose.
There being no further discussion Councilman Camphouse MOVED that the permit
be denied. Mayor Balser seconded the motion.
Further discussion ensued.
Councilman Reibold stated in part that he found it difficult to understand
where the price of the property is germaine to the issue. That he agreed
that the proposed procedure was not to his liking but that it is not
Council's prerogative to judge in that respect, that Council must act
according to the law.
Councilman Butterworth stated in part that he could not see how the Council
could interfere; that there are a number of ways to sell real estate, such
as hiring a broker, the owner can sell it himself and among the methods
of the owner selling it personally, he presumed he could auction it; that
the Union Bank is a corporation and the corporation can, of course, only
act through its agent; that he would imagine that if the Council turns the
Union Bank down, it would in effect be saying that it will not permit any
property owner in this community to auction off his own property.
I
Councilman Phillips stated in part that actually a sale by a real estate
man himself in a way is an auction if the offer is something less than
the asking price which is then later accepted by the owner.
Councilman Reibold: That he could not see upon what grounds the Council
could turn down the requested permit; that it is a matter of law not a
matter of preference.
The City Attorney pointed out that although the Council has permitted
auctions of personal property by a person having the election of taking
it somewhere else for auctioning, that the auctioneer cannot take the
real estate elsewhere for that purpose.
Councilman Phillips then suggested delaying the matter until an answer is
received from the Union Bank and Trust Company.

Mayor Balser reiterated his contention that he did not think an auction
is compatible with a residential neighborhood; that he was not satisfied
that the local realtors had been given an opportunity to sell the property;
that he would be willing to consider it on the basis of holding the matter
over until an answer is received from the bank.
Councilman Butterworth stated that he thought Councilman Phillip's
suggestion well taken, and that this would give more people an opportunir.y
to present any inequities that might seem to appear in the situation.
Councilman Reibold reminded the Council that the application was for the
auction to be held March 10, 1962. The City Manager pointed out that as
he understood the matter, the auction was to have been held March 3, 1962; I
that he had received a call on this from the real estate people approximate
a week ago regarding the size of the sign and the fact that there was going
to be an auction; that he had turned the matter over to the Building and
Safety Department because the sign exceeded sign limitations and to che
Business License Department to see whether a license had been issued.
The applicant spoke again, stating that the auction was to have been held
March 4,1962 and was postponed on being contacted by the License Department;
that he had been informed by that department that by meeting the necessary
requirements there would probably be no problem in obtaining a license, and
that to his knowledge there has never been a 'denial of a real estate auction
sale in this state.
The following roll call was then taken on the motion to reconsider and to
remove the prior vote and open up the question again for another vote;
AYES: Councilmen Butterworth, Reibold, Phillips, Balser
NOES: Councilman Camphouse
ABSENT: None
Councilman Phillips stated that he would like to pursue his idea further;
that he would have to go back to his original vote; that if it were a
case of granting he would vote for a denial; that the applicant may have
been put. to some expense but that he was presumptive in his assumptl.on
that the Council would grant a permit; that he would like to delay action
on this matter until the next Council meeting at which time there will
probably be further facts from the Union Bank and Trust Company.
Councilman Phillips then MOVED that further action on the subject. matr.er be
delayed until the next Council meeting, at which time it is hoped there
will be further information from the Union Bank and Trust Company as to
their reply to the Realty Board. Councilman Butterworth seconded the
motion which was carried on roll call vote as follows:
AYES: Councilmen Butterworth, Camphouse, Reibold, Phillips, Balser
NOES: None

Mayor Balser declared the hearing open on the application of Robert E.
Dunne, 390 S. Hauser, Los Angeles, for a business permit to install two
amusement games at 73 West Huntington Drive, and inquired if anyone
desired to address the Council on the matter.
Mr. Wm. Lockwood addressed the Council, advising that he is the new owner
of the cafe located at 73 West Huntington Drive. He stated in part that
he has been operating said cafe for approximately 30 days, has established
a new clientele and desires the requested amusement games for the enjoyment
of his customers; that if granted the requested permit he will personally
supervise the operation of the machines to insure their being played
legitimately.

advised that the Council is considering an ordinance which will ban all
skill games in Arcadia and that in the event the requested permit is
granted and the ordinance subsequently adopted he could not operate the
skill games thereafter, Mr. Lockwood replied that he was cognizant of
the situation; also that he was aware of the City's regulations regarding
gambling and that it is the owner's responsibility if gambling does occur
on his premises.
No one else desiring to be heard Councilman Camphouse ~ that the
hearing be closed. Councilman Reibold seconded the motion which was
carried unanimously.
Councilman Camphouse stated that in view of the fact that there is a
possibility of discussion in the future of an outright ban on amusement
games that any preclusion of the outcome would not be fair and that in
view of that he MOVED that the Council approve the application of
Robert E. Dunne,~a business permit to install two amusement games
at 73 West Huntington Drive. Councilman Butterworth seconded the motion
which was carried on roll call vote as follows:

circus with performing animals and artists, to be sponsored by the
California National Guard and held at the Arcadia Armory, 260 West
Huntington Drive, May 13, 1962, 1:30 and 7:30 P.M.,and inquired if anyone
desired to address the Council on the matter.
The applicant addressed the Council and advised that his circus has
performed at the Armory the past two years. He also mentioned other
locations and other sponsors where and for whom his circus had performed.

ing the National Guard in Arcadia, addressed the Council and advised in
substance that the Arcadia National Guard desired to sponsor this circus

be closed. Councilman Phillips seconded the motion which was carried

Brief discussion was held regarding the recommendation of the City Manager
that Section 6312.1 of the Arcadia Municipal Code be changed, inasmuch as
said section instructs the City Clerk to set a hearing before the Council
on an application for a business permit not more than 30 days after the
filing of such application and it having been necessary on occasion to
continue hearings due to inability to receive investigation reports on the
applicants in the time allotted, and also regarding his suggestion that I
inasmuch as the major portion of applications for such permits are for door
to door solicitation the changes be made for setting the date of! such hear-
ings only after the receipt of the investigation reports by the City Clerk,
but not more than 45 days after the filing of the application.
The Council indicated its approval of the recommendation and suggestion,
and Councilman Butterworth added that perhaps it might be well to supply
the applicant with a copy of the investigation report, in which event the
mport would become part of the record upon the applicant verifying receipt
thereof.
Councilman Butterworth then MOVED that the Council accept the recommendation
of the City Manager regarding the amending of Section 6312.1 of the Arcadia
MUnicipal Code and that the City Attorney be requested to draw the appropriate
ordinance in connection therewith. Councilman Phillips seconded the motion
which was carried unanimously.

requiring notice inviting bids to be published at least ten days
before the date of' opening bids, and authorize the receiving of
bids for supplying water pipe and equipment necessary to construct
a water line in Clark Street between Peck Road and Myrtle Street.

equipment in Southern California and that invitations to bid could
be mailed immediately and received in sufficient time to submit to
the Council at the next Council meeting.

for the construction of a water line in Clark Street between Peck Road
and Myrtle Street.

At the request of Mayor Balser, the City Attorney reviewed his report
on existing regulations regarding the keeping of birds and animals
in the City as presently contained in the Arcadia Municipal Code
and his conclusions as to further regulations, which conclusions
stated in substance that further restriction solely on a numerical
basis is neither necessary nor advisable at this time; that
consideration be given to clarifying the zoning ordinance with
respect to specified zones for the commercial raising of birds and
animals; that a procedure be established for the determination by
the Council that the keeping of birds or animals, otherwise lawful,
constitutes a nuisance in a given case by reason of the type or
quantity kept in relation to the manner or location of their keeping,
and providing for criminal prosecution upon the failure to abate a
nuisance. He then reviewed a draft of a proposed ordinance on the
subject.
