He also mentioned that considerable progress had been made on the Arcadia Code now being prepared in his office, and that it would be ready for presentation to the Council at their first meeting in September, 1960. After discussion it was the consensus of the Council that the Truck Route ordinance should at least be introduced at this meeting.

To,Couacilman Butterworth's query as to how truckers are notified of such truck routes, he was advised that the Director of Public Works posts all entrances to truck routes and any other location he deems necessary to give reasonable notice of the establishment of truck routes and weight limits. It was brought out later that the Trucking Association passes on such information. Councilman Reibold moved that the reading of the full body of Ordinance No. 1091 be waived.

Councilman Butterworth advised that he had attended, as the alternate, the meeting of the League of California Cities, Los Angeles Division, and was asked to vote on behalf of Arcadia with respect to the Bonelli plan reapportioning senatorial representation; that he generally favored the plan but as he did not know how Arcadia felt he had declined to vote.

He also mentioned that he had noticed 'signs erected in other cities testifying to improvements being done under some certain bond improvement act and thought that Arcadia should have a sign stating that "this is not done with bond money". He added that the City Manager give such a sign consideration. The City Manager advised that a communication dated July 19, 1960 had been received from Mr. Irving M. Feiges, attorney for the purchaser of the property at 1602 South Baldwin Avenue, requesting that the matter of zoning on said property be considered at this meeting. (Matter contained in Ordinance No. 1085 introduced but not addopted to afford Councilman Butterworth an opportunity to personally view the area in question and also to withhold decision until all members of the Council are present at a regular meeting).

Mr. Feiges appeared on behalf of the purchaser and Mr. Henry W. Shatford appeared on behalf of the applicants. ~In the discussion that followed Councilman' Reibold reiterated his original '1 opinion to the effect that Zone"R-3 would be more appropriate than Zone ~~ R-3-R on the property in question and also that he would prefer to /1 separate the two parcels (other parcel being 1616 South Baldwin Avenue). Councilman Phillips stated in part that he would be in favor of Zone R-3 on the property as recommended by the Planning Commission but that he would prefer both properties being handled at the same time.
