The Invocation was offered by Father Henry Lewis Ewan, Pastor of the Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration. PRESENT: ABSENT : Councilmen Balser, Butterworth, Reibold, Phillips, Camphouse None Mayor Camphouse called for Item 2 on pending agenda, and Councilman 'Phillips advised that he had received a telephone call from Mr. Carl Pearson inquiring as to the status of his request to convert a building at 427 West Duarte Road into rental units, which request had been placed on pending until the outcome of deliberations on the improvement or opening of Arcadia Avenue. A general discussion ensued. Mayor Camphouse stated that the above matter also tied in with Item 1 on pending agenda regarding the rezoning of Duarte Road between Holly Avenue and the commercial zone near Baldwin Avenue. The Director of Public Works advised that deliberations had progressed in ~he matter to the extent that plans and specifications were completed and contracts ready to be let approximately the latter part of October or early in November of 1960 for the commencement of work on the opening of Arcadia Avenue. Councilman Phillips suggested that Mr. Pearson be apprised of this situation. Mayor Camphouse requested a staff report be submitted to the Council at the next meeting covering the time table and status of the matter. Motion by Councilman Reibold, seconded by Councilman Balser and carried unanimously that the minutes of the Regular Adjourned Meeting of May 31, 1960 be corrected by the insertion of a "No" vote for Councilman Balser on page 6, last paragraph; and as thus corrected and submitted in writing, be approved; also that the minutes of the Regular Meeting of June 8, 1960 as submitted in writing be approved. Councilman Balser advised that at a luncheon which Mayor Camp house and he attended on June 21, 1960, in Pasadena, of the San Gabriel Valley Branch of the American Cancer Society, Arcadia had been honored by the presen- tation of a plaque acknowledging Arcadia's outstanding service in the cause of Cancer Control during the Society's annual campaign in 1960, and that he had accepted said plaque on behalf of the City. He offered it to the City Manager for display in the City Hall. Councilman Balser then acknowledged the presence in the audience of Mrs. Charles Vance, the Residential Chairman for Arcadia of the Cancer Drive, adding that she had been to a great degree responsible for the said award to the City of Arcadia. Mayor Camp house declared the hearing open on the proposed budget for the fiscal year 1960-61. The City Clerk advised that notice of the hearing on the proposed 1960-1961 budget had been published and that copies of the proposed budget have been on file in her office and available for lHDELm 1. 6-21-60 50~3 (Hearing - 1960-61 Budget) ~1a7b 11'lDEXED RESOLUTION No, 3268 11'lDEXEl) public inspection, all as required by the City Charter. The Mayor inquired if anyone desired to be heard on the matter, Mr. Robert Whitmore, Jr., 512 Santa Maria Road, addressed the Council and questioned the effect on the tax rate of the proposed increase in property assessed valuation contemplated by the Los Angeles County Assessor as reported in the Arcadia Tribune and the anticipated use of the additional revenue by the City, General discussion was held, wherein it was stated in part that the newspaper article is not official; that the City, in estimating and preparing the budget, had contemplated approximately a five million dollar increase in assessed valuation; that there had been discussion I of increasing the assessed valuation on land in certain areas of the City, this being a continuing program throughout the year. That if the .' proposed increase becomes an actuality, approximately five million dollars has already been contemplated and that based on the present tax rate of $1.10 (maintained since 1953) this would be equivalent to approximately $55,000.00 on a total budget of about three million dollars; that the proposed budget is not a balanced budget in the sense that the tax dollars alone will support it, since it calls for a transfer of present funds in the treasury of approximately $79,553.00 which exceeds the $55,000.00 referred to in the newspaper as a "windfall", That had this been known in advance and considered it would have resulted in a smaller transfer of surplus funds. Councilman Reibold stated in part that he personally is opposed to deficit financing and that in his opinion, if the level of service is to be continued, other sources of revenue must be explored; that this is what the City had in mind when Ordinance No. 1071 was proposed; that the alternative is to turn to tax revenue. Mr. Whitmore suggested that a possessory interest tax could be imposed upon apartment house residents, so they would carry a more equitable share of the tax burden. Mr, Whitmore was thanked for his interest, There being no one else desiring to address the Council, Councilman Phillips moved that the hearing be closed, which motion was seconded by Councilman Reibold and carried unanimously. Councilman Phillips pointed out that there is a difference in the salary rate for supervisors in the Recreation Department as set forth in the budget and as recommended by the Personnel Board, and the City Attorney replied that under the Salary Resolution and the resolution adopting the budget, temporary help can be employed at any figure less than the stated rate. The City Manager recommended that the forthcoming Resolution No, 3268, adopting the budget, be amended by adding to section 3 thereof the following sentence: "That if the City Manager determines that there are I moneys in any such category of a department in excess of the amounts required for all budgeted items within such major category, he may, without further councilmanic action, direct a transfer of all or any portion of such excess moneys to any other major category or categories within the same department." He added that the auditors had suggested this procedure, with the exception that they had suggested such transfers be authorized by the Controller. He also stated that such transfers will be reflected in the monthly financial statements issued to the Council and the press and in the end-of-the-year financial report and in the annual audit. The City Attorney then presented as drawn and previo~sly mailed to the Council Resolution No.3268, entitled: "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING OFFICIAL BUDGET FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 1960-1961." 2. 6-21-60 (Resolution No. 3268) I 5tJt:2/tt Motion by Councilman Reibold, seconded by Councilman Phillips and ~arried on roll call vote as follows that the reading of the full body of Resolution No. 3268 be waived: AYES: Councilmen Balser, Butterworth, Reibold, Phillips, Camphouse NOES: None ABSENT: None Councilman Balser moved that Resolution No. 3268 as drawn and presented to the City Council be amended by adding to section 3 thereof the following sentence: "That if the City Manager determines that there are moneys in any such major category of a department in excess of the amounts required for all budgeted items within such major category, he may, 'without further councilmanic action, direct a transfer of all or any portion of such excess moneys to any other major category or categories within the same department."

HEARING Mayor camphouse declared the hearing open on the application of Gordon (Hough) E. Hough, 1009 South 5th Street, Alhambra, for a business permit to conduct the Hough Patrol Service, and inquired if the applicant desired ft}l~ to address the Council. ~ The applicant not being present, the City Manager recommended that the 11'lDEXEIl permit not be granted at this time, pending a report from the applicant as to whether he still proposes to operate within the City of Arcadia in view of some incidents that have occurred since he submitted his original application, particularly with reference to one of his employees.

There being no other nominations, Councilman Butterworth seconded the motion which was carried unanimously, Councilman Reibold placed in nomination and moved that Mr, J, Clayton Schaefer, 901 Encanto Drive, be appointed to fill the vacancy created on the 'Personnel Board by the end of the term of Frank J, Walton, who had requested that he not be considered for reappointment due to the press of personal business, for a term connnencing July 1, 1960 and' terminating June 30, 1964. Councilman Balser seconded the motion and it was carried unanimously, I Councilman Phillips placed in nomination and moved that Mr. Donald G, Ehr, 215 West Pamela Road, be appointed to fill the remaining vacancy on the Personnel Board to fill the vacancy created by L; D. Bonham, his term to commence July 1, 1960 and terminate June 30, 1964. Councilman Reibold seconded the motion which was carried unanimously. Mayor Camphouse instructed the City Clerk to have prepared scrolls for presentation to the outgoing members. Mayor Camphouse connnented that he had received from the League of Women Voters a list of names of various individuals for the various board and connnission vacancies; that he was personally familiar with some of the individuals and knew them to be very worthy people, but that his personal reaction was that while the list represents a keen interest on the part of the League and the people that serve Arcadia, in his opinion it is far afield from the basic concept of the League's charter, which sets forth that the League is basically a study organization and does not enter into the specifics of politics. He added that he had previously mentioned receipt of a connnunication from the Board of Realtors suggesting that a member of the real estate profession be placed on the Planning Connnission, and that he had also previously expressed his opinion in that regard. Councilman Phillips stated that he agreed with Mayor Camphouse as to the list submitted by the League of Women Voters, it being helpful to the Council to receive such names, which are filed for future reference and consideration. That with regard to the suggestion of the Realty Board, there is at the present time a member of the Planning Connnission working with the real estate dealers in Arcadia, but that in his opinion, because of the nature of the Planning Connnission there is an area of I conflicting interest and that he would not favor the continuing practice of placing a member of the real estate profession on the Planning Connnis s ion, Councilman Butterworth stated that he would not wish silence on his part to be construed as acquiescence; that in his opinion there is a lack of foundation as to the interpretation placed on the connnunication from the League of Women Voters; that he had construed the letter to be not in the nature of a mandate but an effort on the part of the League to suggest a list of candidates; that he personally appreciated the suggestions which Council is free to accept or reject; and that in his opinion this was not political on the part of the League but rather administrative. 4, 6-21-60 (Board and Commission Appointments) ~;?/0 Mrs. James E. Johnson, representing the League of Women Voters, addressed the Council, and stated that she supported Councilman Butterworth's comments; that the League had not intended being political, but that the letter was intended to inform the Council of the people considered by the League as being civic minded and well qualified to serve on the various boards and commissions; that the League had hoped the list would be kept on file for future reference.

Mayor CaIDphouse stated that although a hearing had previously been conducted on this matter he would permit the person who had requested permission to be heard at this time. Whereupon Mr. Irving M. Feigus, 4515 Don Phillipe Road, Los Angeles, addressed the Council, advising that he was an attorney representing Mr. Norman Greenberg, who is in escrow with the present owner of the property at 1602 South Baldwin Avenue for the purchase of said property. I Mr. Feigus then summarized the proceedings on the matter to date and requested the Council to reconsider their determination to rezone the said property to Zone R-3-R rather than Zone R-3 as originally requested and as recommended by the Planning Commission. Mr. Feigus added in substance that in his opinion Zone R-3 would be more beneficial and applicable to the area than Zone R-3-R; that the restrictions on Zone R-3-R would result in an unequitable return to the investor inasmuch as the high rent which of necessity would have to be charged for an apartment in an R-3-R zone would not appeal to the type of individual who could afford to pay such rent since he would not wish to live in that area. 6. 6- 21-60 I I (Ordinance No. 1085) RECESS ORDINANCE No. 1086 (Adopted) ORDINANCE No. 1087 (Adopted) \-I ~ t>l ~, \:J - ..:5 0 ;;(JY Mayor Camphouse took exception to the implied criticism that there was a differentiation between the residents of Arcadia and informed Mr. Feigus that he felt his reasoning and logic were unfounded. A general discussion ensued. Councilman Butterworth requested that the matter go over to the next meeting to permit him an opportunity to personally view the area. Councilman Reibold commented that he had no objection to the matter going over but that he had voted against the R-3-R zoning because in essence he felt that Zone R-3 with its increased standards was more applicable to the area in question. The City Attorney pointed out that Council has under consideration the large area across the street from the property in question; that the action to be taken here and action pending before them on another much larger area, involving particularly the west side of Baldwin Avenue in the same location, cannot be divorced; that the gradation contemplated on the east side of Baldwin Avenue in this area is a logical gradation from R-l to R-3 to R-3-R and then on down still further, but that this perfectly normal gradation can be colored by contrary action on the opposite side of the street. That Council might wish to make their decision contemporaneously on both sides of the street because they are related. Mrs. Lillian A. Moriarty, owner of the property at 1616 Soutn Baldwin Avenue, and one pf the applicants in the reclassification request, addressed the Council, stating in part that she had been unable to sell her property when it was Zone R-l and felt that zoning it R-3-R would not improve the situation. Councilman Phillips and Councilman Balser both stated that they had no objection to holding over action on the adoption of Ordinance No. 1085 until another meeting. Mayor Camphouse called for a three minute recess. Upon Council's return from the recess, Mayor Camphouse called for a motion on the above matter, Whereupon Councilman Reibold moved that action on Ordinance No. 1085 be deferred for a future meeting.

Charlotte L. Sutton, 1030 portola Drive Applicant's lot is triangular containing approximately 12,000 square feet with a frontage of 190 feet, and in Zone R-l. Because of the R-3 lot to the south, the zoning ordinance would allow a duplex on this lot; however deed restrictions prohibit a duplex but would allow two Single family houses.

The City Attorney summarized the proceedings on the matter to'date, to wit: That Annexation No, 17-A was one of the largest inhabited annexations performed by the City; that the zoning was not predetermined prior to the annexation and it came in all as R-l, the area then being broken into three large areas for consideration and recommendation to the Council. That action had been taken on the lower segment some time ago and recently I action was taken on the segment abutting Duarte Road. The intervening segment was referred back to the Planning Commission, and at this point the Planning Commission has reaffirmed its former recommendation as to the balance of 17-A. Whereupon Councilman Balser moved that the Council accept the recommendation of the planning Commission with respect to that portion of Annexation 17-A as contained in its Resolution No, 364 and that the City Attorney be' , instructed to prepare an ordinance classifying the property in accordarice therewith, Councilman Reibold seconded the motion which was carried on roll call vote as follows: AYES: Councilmen Balser, Reibold, phillips, Camphouse ABSTAINED: Councilman Butterworth NOES: None ABSENT: None BID AWARD (cas t Iron pipe) Following bids received for the purchase of cast iron pipe and fittings: BIDDER Pacific States Cast Iron Pipe Co; United States Pipe & Fdry Co. park-Son, Incorporated OPTION "A" $14,857,06 15,750,52 BID AMOUNT OPTION "B" $3,683.58 3,684.85 3,781.28 TOTAL $18,540.64 19,435.37 3,781.28 j69D Recommendation of the City Manager and the Water superintendent that the contract for the purchase of the cast iron pipe and fittings be awarded to the low bidder, The Pacific States Cast Iron Pipe Company, in the total amount of $18,540,64 pursuant to the quantities as submitted, iINDEXED Further recommendation that the City Manager be authorized to increase said quantities, at the unit prices bid, pursuant to the provisions of the specifications so to do, Motion by Councilman Reibold, seconded by Councilman Phillips and carried on roll call vote as follows that Council approve the recommendations of the City Manager and the Water Superintendent and that a contract for the purchase of cast iron pipe and fittings be awarded to Pacific States I cast Iron Pipe Company in the amount of $18,540,64; 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, Also that the City Manager be authorized to increase said quantities, at the unit price bid, pursuant to the provisions of the specifications so to do, AYES: Councilmen Balser, ButterWorth, Reibold, Phillips, Camphouse NOES: None ABSENT: None FOOTHILL The City Manager advised that contact had been made by the School District JUNIOR HIGH relative to the improvement of Oakhaven Lane, now a private street, extend- SCHOOL ing north from Sycamore Avenue, with regard to the proposed construction (Oakhaven of the Foothill Junior High School. Lane) ~ 't- ~ (l,1~ 12. 6-21-60 (Foothill Junior High School - Oakhaven Lane) ~ I ~o8r It was proposed that this street be extended from the southerly boundary line of the property now o\n>ed by the City School systen to the northerly boundary of the Junior !Ii3h School plant site, a distance of approximately 600 feet; that if it were to become a part of the City street system it ,~' should have a right of way width of not less than 60 feet and a paved street width of 40 feet, the improvements to consist of pavement, curbs", ,~' gutters and an allowance for 10 foot parkways on either side with" - provisions on the east side adjacent to the school for a five foot marginal sidewalk, He added that the westerly 30 feet of the proposed 60 foot right of way is a private street, owned and maintained by the abutting property owners. That said 0wners have refused to dedicate the property to the City or to the School and if the City or the School wishes to acquire the property they will have to do so by purchase or condemnation, The Director of Public Works then stated that he could not recommend that the City accept Oakhaven Lane as a dedicated public street until such time as it meets design standards and policies adhered to by the City for many years. In the general discussion that followed it was stated that a future problem could develop regarding a proposed subdivision at the end of the street which would have no access Over public ways to the rest of the city. It was also noted that if the school were to move over 30 feet on its own property it would be deprived of prime land.' After further discussion it was the consensus of the Council, and the City Manager was requested to so advise the school officials, that the City cannot accept the street in its present status as a public street; that it will be necessary for the school either to move over 30 feet onto its own property or proceed to acquire that portion necessary from the owners of the private street. That should such acquisition be necessary, in the opinion of the Council, condemnation proceeding costs would be nominal since the owners \iould not be deprived of anything.
