line for the length of the street improvement with a fire hydrant
installation to provide additional fire protection to the existing build-
ings and those proposed to be constructed, the cost being $2400.00 but that

With reference to off-street parking requirements, the City Attorney advised
that Section 9284.2 of the Arcadia Municipal Code sets forth that in lieu of
providing the parking space required the owner of the property affected may
pay to the City and the City may accept a sum not less than the assessed
valuation of the entire parcel of property for which parking space is
required; that in this instance the value of the properties in question has
been determined and may be considered by the Council as a cash contribution
and there need only be determined the number of parking places for which
credit will-be given under said section. Whereupon Mayor Camphouse stated
that this matter would be taken up later in the evening, time permitting,
or at an adjourned meeting, the date to be announced later.
Upon the further recommendation of the City Manager Councilman Reibold

of the application of Albert H. Schoof for a zone variance to allow a I
second dwelling on the lot at 1218 South Second Avenue, subject to certain
conditions, continued from the Council meeting of December 6, 1960 due to

1960 meeting, visiting the area and inspecting the property that he

The City Manager read in full the report and recommendation of the Chief I
of Police with regard to the petition (mentioned at the December 6, 1960
Council meeting) received from residents of West Las Flores Avenue,
requesting the aboid1ishment of one-way traffi1cioni H01h1Y Avdenue duringf thhe .
racing season, sa report in substance exp a n ng tea vantages 0 t e
one-way operation and recommending its continuance. The City Manager
added that he concurred in said recommendation.
Mr. Ray C. Hatter, 315 W. Las Flores Avenue, one of the petitioners,
addressed the Council, describing the inconvenience of the residents in
the area occasioned by the restriction of their movements and the
additional expense incurred for gasoline by having to drive longer
alternate routes to reach their homes and shopping area. He also
mentioned that Police Chief Seares had stated last year that the one-way
traffic on Holly Avenue was not necessary during week-days, and requested
that if the operation could not be abolished entirely that it be in effect
only on big race days.

Police Chief Seares was called upon to express his opinion on the question
of part-time one-way traffic. He recommended that one-way traffic on
Holly Avenue remain in effect during week-days as well as on big racing
days, stating that in his opinion to change the pattern would lead to
confusion and could prove hazardous. He then explained in part the
regulation of traffic, the hours when the one-way traffic operation is
in effect, adding that the flow of traffic moves in platoons, providing
breaks so that motorists on the side streets may cross Holly Avenue or
turn south to the next through street.
In the general discussion that ensued Councilman Reibold expressed the
opinion that one lane of traffic northbound on Holly Avenue and the other
lanes southbound was hazardous and that when it had been in effect
neither he nor his family took advantage of it, preferring alternate
routes. He also mentioned that it might be well to consider that any
inconvenience caused is offset by the overall benefits derived by the
City from the taxes paid by the Turf Club.
Mr. Robert H. Rollins, 360 W. Las Flores Avenue, also addressed the Council,
protesting the one way operation of traffic on Holly Avenue during the
racing season, stating in substance that he did not believe it was
necessary.
Councilman Butterworth stated in part that he did not believe the money
angle of the race track was a material factor but that he did feel the
Council should uphold the expert recommendation of Police Chief Seares.
Councilman Phillips mentioned that in the not too distant future there
would be factors arising which would ease the traffic situation in Arcadia,
such as the contemplated widening by the County of Huntington Drive outside
of Arcadia, and the freeway through Arcadia,
It being the consensus of the Council that it is to the benefit of all
concerned to rely upon the advice of experts, Councilman Phillips moved
that the Council accept the recommendation of the City Manager and the
Chief of Police and that the petition to abolish one-way traffic on Holly
Avenue during the racing season be denied. Councilman Butterworth seconded

The City Manager reported that the Committee appointed to investigate
the feasibility of the proposal to light the Bonita Park ball diamond for
night baseball met on December 15, 1960; that said committee confirmed the
recommendation of the Recreation Commission that the Council approve the
proposal of the Pony League to light the Bonita Park ball diamond. He
added that many matters had been considered during the meeting, such as
the present agreement with the School Board for joint use of land that.
would require revision, the availability of parking, the effect on
surrounding properties, the cost to the City for maintenance of the ",
proposed facilities and the possibility of other sites which might be, ~
used by the Pony League to expand their activities to eliminate the need
for night lighting.
The City Manager added that the Committee felt that answers to many of
the problems should be found prior to recommending to the Council the
approval of the request despite the urging of the Pony League for haste
in the matter, and that to this end the staff has been instructed to
investigate certain matters. That since December 15, 1960 some of the
problems have been resolved, but that there are still some unanswered,
and that he recommended another Committee meeting for such purpose.

Mr. Roy Bernard, Manager of the Pony League, addressed.the Council and
suggested that the Committee invite a representative of the Pony League
to attend their meeting and the City Manager stated that this would be
done.
The City Manager submitted a report from the Community Development
Committee on the request of the residents of certain areas south of
Live Oak Avenue and east of Double Drive to circulate petitions for
annexation to the City of Arcadia, stating in substance that basically
the Committee looked with favor upon the request, and that the Council
might desire, in view of the requirements of the Government Code re
annexations, to receive the report at this time and referthe matter to
the Planning Commission for its study and recommendation.

Whereupon Councilman Butterworth moved that the Council receive the
report of the Community Development Committee regarding the request of
residents of certain areas south of Live Oak Avenue and east of Double
Drive to circulate petitions for annexation to the City of Arcadia and
that the matter be referred to the Planning Commission for its report

Councilman Reibold then moved that being somewhat concerned regarding the

announcement just issued regarding institutional fire coverage.
The City Manager recommended that in view of recent developments in
coverage not known at the time the specifications for insurance cover-
age were prepared, a committee be appointed to review the City's
entire insurance program, adding that because this might involve more
than 30 or 60 days' time, which would leave the City unprotected, that
he also recommended that he be authorized to negotiate on the basis of
1) accepting the low bid of W. S. Spaulding Company of Arcadia for
coverage as per specifications for a five year period; or 2) reject all
bids received and reviewed by the Council at its meeting of December 6,
1960 and authorize him to purchase from said company fire insurance' .\'
coverage for a one-year period based upon the specifications.
After general discussion, it was the consensus of the Council that
inasmuch as the bids were made in good faith, the matter of coverage on
the basis of one year, with the possibility of a premium penalty, or on
the full five year period subject to cancellation should be negotiated
by the City Manager.
Whereupon Councilman Phillips moved that the Council authorize the City
Manager to negotiate a contract for fire insurance coverage as per
specifications with the W. S. Spaulding Company of Arcadia on the basis
of either one year, or five years, subject to cancellation, whichever
in his judgment would be most economical. Councilman Reibold seconded
the motion which was carried on roll call vote as follows:

could not accept the Council's proposal to lease the present City Library
building for administrative purposes at $6000 per year for three years '
with an option to renew the lease for two additional years; that the

A lengthy discussion ensued wherein the Councilmen reiterated in general
their stated opinions of August 24, 1960, at which time Councilman
Butterworth had summarized developments of a joint meeting held on
August 22, 1960 between a committee composed of Councilmen Reibold and
himself, the City Manager, representing the City, and Mr. Harold C. Lietz,
Dr. Antone W. Nisson and Dr. Burtis E. Taylor, representing the school
district, for the purpose of discussing the possible leasing of the old
library building to the school board for use as an administration building.
Mayor Camphouse suggested in part a final report from the Council members
of the above mentioned committee which would transmit to the School Board
the final action of the Council, commenting that this was probably the
intent of the letter. I
Councilman Butterworth did not agree, stating in substance that he and
Councilman Reibold had conveyed to the joint committee the feeling of the
Council; that the President of the Board of Education had indicated that
the amount stated was economically unfeasible and that he would report
back to his board; that to date there has been a hiatus in the
negotiations, and that he did not favor the termination of the negotiations.
He also suggested that the matter might be put to the vote of the people as
was done in the Master Plan matter.
Councilman Phillips stated in part that he also did not favor abrupt
termination of negotiations but that in his opinion the Council had stated
its position; which had been one of compromise; however that the Council,
he felt, would be willing ,to consider anything new the School Board. might
have to suggest, but that he felt the proposal offered by the City had been
fair and equitable.
Mr. Robert S. Whitmore, Jr., 512 Santa Maria Road, addressed the Council,
and stated in substance that the money to maintain the school system
and the City Government is paid by the same taxpayers; and it would
appear to him that the taxpayers could use citY70wned property for what-
ever purpose they deemed best.
Councilman Reibold felt that the letter was an official report of the
School Board and only required reaffirmation of Council's position; that
it was not a request to reopen negotiations, and Mayor'Camphoue added that
leaving the matter open at this point would be saying in effect that the
proposal presented by the Council was not what they really intended.
Councilman Reibold then continued that final decision must come from the
School Board as to whether they will accept Council's offer as stated, and
also that he did not favor the matter being put to the vote of the people
as suggested by Councilman Butterworth.
Mr. Tom S. Wallace, 1901 Seventh Place, addressed the Council and inquired
if there could be any consideration between the two groups of forgiving ,
part of the rent for the amount of money that would be expended by the
School Board in its contemplated remodeling of the building into an office
building, to which Mayor Camphouse and Councilman Reibold replied that I
this would depend upon whether the building in its final disposition
would be a negative or a plus factor.
Discussion continued with Councilman Butterworth urging that Council give
the matter further thought; that new suggestions or ideas might arise,
such as the one tendered by Mr. Wallace, and also reminding the Council
that the School Board had conveyed land to the City in order to widen
Duarte Road without asking consideration from the City, suggesting that
the Council reply to the School Board indicating that although there had
been no occasion necessarily to change their position that they would be
willing to discuss the matter further.
Councilman Balser stated in substance that he was disappointed at the turn
of events inasmuch as he had been under the impression, acquiring his
information from the newspapers, that the problem had been resolved and
that the School District had decided to proceed with the construction of
a new administration building on school property; that with regard to the

proposed rent for the old library building, he had made the suggestion
that the amount be reduced from $1000 to $500 per month in a sincere
effort to assist the A,cadia schools to obtain their goal of an
administration building; that he felt $500 a month was nominal and that
he'agreed with Council~n Reibold's comment that with a school budget of
4-1/2 million 'dollars the school could effect enough economies to absorb
$6000 a year.
Councilman Phillips stated in part that with respect to,Councilman
Butterworth's comment regarding the conveyance of land for the widening
of Duarte Road by the School District to the City, that this was an ex-
change of consideration. He added that he interpreted the letter'in
question to mean that the School Board had broken off negotiations when
they stated that the proposition was not acceptable to them, and that in
his opinion the City has done the major portion of the mediating.
Councilman Reibold further commented that he. also felt the City has co-
operated with the School District not only in this regard but on many
other matters, citing as an example the location of the new library which,
contrary to suggestions of consultants, was being constructed adjacent
to the high school with easy access to several other schools, and with
additional floor space so that it might have higher school usage.
Mayor Camphouse added in substance that it had never been the intent of
the Council that its action in this matter be interpreted to mean that
insofar as the Council was, concerned negotiations were closed with no
possibility of the Council listening to any reasonable proposal that might
be suggested.
Councilman Reibold then stated that in order to terminate the discussion
he moved that the Council instruct the City Manager to answer Superintendent
Taylor's letter, reaffirming the City Council"s belief that the rental figure
of $6000 is a fair figure. Councilman Phillips suggested amending said'
motion to the extent of stating that the City Manager's answer include that
all of the various parts of the Council's original proposal be reaffirmed.
Councilman Phillips then seconded the motion as amended, which was carried
on'roll call vote as follows:
AYES: Councilmen Balser, Reibold, Phillips, camphouse
NOES: Councilman Butterworth
ABSENT: None
Councilman Butterworth then moved that the matter of the leasing of the
old library building be submitted to the electorate by a ballot similar
to the method used on the Master Plan.
Councilman Phillips stated that he could not second this motion for the
reason that there has not been enough evidence or enough demand for such
action; that as Councilman Balser had stated, the issue, according to the
newspapers at least, has been settled.
Councilman Butterworth stated that it should be assumed that the above
motion died for lack of a second, and that he would then move that the
Council address a letter to the Board of Education suggesting that they
join with the City Council in appointing a Council-School Board-Joint
Citizens Committee to investigate the matter and report to the two bodies.
Councilman Reibold stated that he could not second this motion because he
is fundamentally'opposedto citizens committees for the reason that he does
not believe that responsibility should be delegated to a group of citizens
when such responsibility was assumed by the Councilmen upon accepting
office.
1 '
The above motion having died for lack of a second, Councilman Butterworth
further moved that the Council reconsider its action and offer to lease
the old library building to the Board of Education for a period of five
years at a rent of $1.00 per year. This motion also died for lack of a
second.

Mrs. James W. Boore, 1035 Fairview Avenue, addressed the Council,
requesting their consideration of additional publicity concerning the

Mayor camphouse stated that this was a good suggestion and that it would
receive due consideration.
Mr. Ronald Brunswick, representing the Faubus Construction Company of
Stanton, california, addressed the Council, stating that his company had
been refused a building permit to construct a 44 unit apartment house on
646 Fairview Avenue because he had been given to understand that the City
was planning to acquire the rear of the properties in that area with the
intention of extending Arcadia Avenue beyond its present terminus; that
he had been previously informed that plans to open Arcadia Avenue had
been abandoned.
The City Manager advised in part that matters relative to the apartment
house at 646 Fairview Avenue had been discussed with the Council and
INDEXEnwould probably be placed on agenda for an adjourned Council meeting
or the next Council meeting; that in such event he would be notified.

The City Attorney commented in part, that he, thought possibly some of the
confusion results from the fact that proceedings under, the 1913 Act for
the opening of Arcadia Avenue were commenced and then terminated; that
the Council's action was the determination that the completion of the
proceedings under the 1913 Act as then contemplated was unfeasible but
not that the entire thought of ,extending Arcadia Avenue as such by some
other means was totally out of the question.
To Mr. Brunswick's further inquiry as to whether he could then understand
that there would be no answer for him at this meeting as to whether or
not he could proceed with 'construction, the City Manager invited him to
confer with him the following day, at which time an attempt would be made
by the staff and his office to resolve the problem and Mr, Brunswick
agreed to the proposed conference.
-Mr. P. J. Derkson, 542 Fairview Avenue, addressed the Council, stating in
part that he had been convinced that the matter of the opening of
Arcadia Avenue was abandoned due to the action taken at the Special
Meeting of the Council on August 16, 1960 and the information contained
in a letter he had received from the City Manager.
Mr. Thomas C. Sullivan, Jr., 160 White oak Drive, 'Arcadia, addressed
the Council, stating that he personally felt the letter from the School
Board, regarding the leasing of the library building which had been
discussed earlier' in the evening, had been badly handled, by,the"Board,adding il
part that he hoped the Council had not closed the door to further
negotiation. He was assured by the Council that it had not been their
intent to give the impression that further negotiations were impossible.

Councilman Balser commented with respect to the matter of Arcadia Avenue I
discussed earlier in the evening; that he had been under the impression
that on the night of August 16, 1960 the method proposed to be used for
the opening of Arcadia Avenue had been abandoned because of the large
amount of money that would be assessed against the property owners
involved since they did not feel it was worth the expenditure; that he
agreed to the abandonment of the proceedings and voted so to do at
that time; however, that he personally feels the opening of Arcadia
Avenue would benefit property owners, and it is this benefit that the
Council is attempting to effect.
