San Gabriel, california, and authorize the issuance of a permit to said
applicant to operate eight amusement rides for four days (January 19 to

Drive and Live Oak Avenues, in conjunction with the "Carnival of Bargains"
by said Market, and upon condition that a copy of the insurance policy to
cover such amusement rides be submitted to the City Attorney for approval.
To Councilman Butterworth's suggestion that a specific amount of liability
insurance to be carried by the applicant be a condition of the permit, it
was stated that the motion included the condition that a copy of the
insurance policy be submitted to the City Attorney for approval, and that
since the amusement rides were being held on private property it would
appear to be the responsibility of Ralphs Market to see that coverage was
adequate.

In compliance with Council's instructions of December 20, 1960, the City
Manager submitted a report of the course of events in connection with the
proposed opening of Arcadia Avenue, adding that from the record it is I
evident that proceedings up to August 16, 1960 were taken as a result of
the favorable report of the property owners submitted to them on
February 3, 1959 and terminated on August 16, 1960 as a result of a
reversal of this favorable opinion.
As the Council had not yet had an opportunity to thoroughly review the
report the City Manager read in full the following last paragraph,
requesting for the record an expression from the Council in order to
clear up the apparent misunderstanding that has arisen in this regard:
"The Manager's office has worked toward the opening of the
western portion of the proposed Arcadia Avenue opening since
August 16, 1960 to provide ingress and egress for traffic to
parking areas now existing and proposed in order to relieve
traffic congestion on Duarte and in some cases Fairview. We
have not thought in terms of pushing for the opening at full

width to La Cadena, nor for a lesser
width, unless each property owner sees benefit to his own
property for so doing. This we 'believe is in line with the
thinking of the City, Council in this regard."
A general discussion ensued and Councilman phillips stated in part that
in his opinion the paragraph states substantially what he had said in
answer to Mr. Street's query at the Adjourned Regular Council meeting of
December 28, 1960; that it has been his hope that Arcadia Avenue could'
be opened at least as far as the mortuary on the south side of Duarte
Road, in order to relieve the traffic situation in and around the back'
of the business district; that from that point on he felt Arcadia Avenue at
the moment should be pushed no further nor faster t~an the property owners
desired.
Councilman Reibold stated in part that it was his understanding that the
Manager's office actually was working on the matter as a joint venture
with the property owners toward the end that Arcadia Avenue would be
opened to the mutual advantage of all concerned.
Councilman Balser stated that the paragraph read by the City Manager was
in line with his thinking on the matter.
Councilman Butterworth suggested that in order that the paragraph not
be interpreted to mean that under no circumstances was the street to be
put through unless agreeable to 100% of the property owners, that two
words be changed in the sentence starting with "We have not thought in
terms of pushing....."; that the word ~'each" be changed to "the" and the
word "his" be changed to "their".
Whereupon the Council concurring in the change, Councilman Phillips moved
that the report be accepted by the Council as amended. Councilman Reibold
seconded the motion which was carried unanimously.
The City Manager advised that with regard to the request of the Council
that a report be submitted to them regarding Council policy on annexations,
a search of the records of the City Clerk and City Manager did not reveal
any official recordation establishing a policy; that a review of proceed-
ings on several annexations over the past years indicate individual
expressions regarding specific annexations, and he thereupon tendered
copies of the information that had been found in this respect.
Councilman Reibold moved that the resume as submitted by the City Manager
be received and filed pending a meeting (to be arranged) of the Council
for the purpose of reevaluating it. Motion seconded by Councilman
Phillips and carried unanimously.
Councilman Reibold suggested that prior to the first meeting regarding
this matter that consideration be given to whether the word "policy,"
shall mean precedent or whether it shall constitute a legal document.
Mayor Camphouse ordered filed the notices from the Regional Planning
Commission, the zoning proposals having no effect on Arcadia.
Mayor camphouse ordered filed notices from the County Boundary Commission
that the City of El Monte has filed annexation proposal No. 251 and
No. 247. (No effect on Arcadia).
Motion by Councilman Phillips, seconded by Councilman Reibold and carried
unanimously that the Council approve the following applications for
renewal of business license permits, and that the provisions of Section
6313.1 and 6313.2 of the Arcadia Municipal Code applicable to previously
licensed businesses be waived:

Upon the recommendation of the City Manager that the business license

accept such recommendation and that his motion be amended to except from
the above listed applicants Carl R. Allen, 33 Morlan place, and that a

days. Councilman Reibold seconded the motion as amended, which was

The City Manager advised that the Arcadia Golf Company, operators of the
Par~3 Golf Course on City owned property at 620 E. Live Oak Avenue, has
requested that their lease with the City be amended so that they may
apply for an on-sale 'beer license.

A general discussion ensued and Mr. Jerome T. Stewart, one of the
partners of said company, addressed the Council, stating in substance
that the golf course has been operating for the past two years at a loss
of approximately $18,000; that their principal competitor, the Twin Lakes
Golf Course, operates a full size bar; that they have received many ,
requests from their patrons for beer; that they feel in order to maintain
a competitive position that they should be permitted to sell beer and
that an increase in their profits would redound to the benefit of the
City which participates on a percentage basis. He also mentioned that

The Manager of the golf course also spoke, and in answer to the Council's
query as to why the course is losing money; stated in part that one,of
the factors is the location; that he had discussed with the City Manager
the p~ssibility of placing signs in the area which wo~ld more clearly
indicate its vicinity. To which the City Manager commented that
information is forthcoming on the type of sign that would be of the
greatest assistance in p01nting,out the location of the golf course,
adding that the City will cooperate in every possible way, and the
Council expressed its approval for this assistance.
It was also stated that there. is no uniformity as to County Parks selling
or not selling beer but that Los Angeles City courses do sell beer; also
that while not permitted, patrons sometimes bring theiF own beer to the
~Par-3 golf course.
Councilman Phillips then moved that the Council authorize the City Manager
and the City Attorney to prepare an amendment to the City's lease with
the Arcadia Golf Company, giving the lessee an opportunity to make
application to Alcoholic Beverage Control for an on-sale beer license,
said amendment to be submitted,to the Council at the next Council meeting
for review. Councilman Reibold seconded the motion.
"
Councilman Butterworth suggested that before putting the City Attorney
to the task of preparing the amendment it might be well to test the
sentiment of the 'Council as to whether it would be agreeable to the
majority of the Council that beer be sold'at the golf course. He added
that he would like to see the golf course operate at a profit by. develop-
ments other than money values in this community; that mention is'made in
the lessee's letter that beer is sold in bowling alleys and that he would
not want to see this used as a leverage to extend what he thought was a
bad policy; that he thought it an unfortunate policy to allow the sale of
any intoxicating beverage on municipal property and that he.would vote
against it.
Councilman Balser stated in part that he too would like 'to see the golf
course prosper and would cooperate in any manner possible but that he
too was strongly opposed to selling intoxicants on City property.
Mayor Camphouse stated in part that basing the denial purely on a basis
of economics is not a good motive,' and likened the situation to having
,one's head in the sand, where in a situation such as this one becomes
very righteous, and on that basis he would vote in favor of the amendment.
The motion made and seconded was: then carried on roll call vote as
follows:
AYES: Councilmen Reibold, Phillips, Camphouse
NOES: Councilmen Balser, Butterworth
ABSENT: None
The City Manager advised that he had ordered copies of the Los Angeles
county's Health Code for distribution to the Council, in compliance
with Council's suggestion, and that he thought they would be available,
for Council's consideration prior to the next Counc~l meeting. .' ,
Motion by Councilman Balser, seconded by Councilman Butterworth and
carried unanimously that the Council grant the request of the Arcadia-
Monrovia Valley Cab Company for permission to replace one of their 1955
Chevrolet taxicabs with a 1957 model.

Mr. Max Rumbaugh, 205 Palm Drive, representing the Arcadia Council of
Protestant Churches, addressed the Council regarding the request of
the Arcadia Golf Company for permission to apply for an on-sale beer
license for the sale of beer at the Par-3Golf Course.
I
He stated in substance that he hoped the Council would deny the
amendment to their lease with the City; that this being public
property the Council would be setting a precedent; that Los Angeles
County does not permit the sale of intoxicating beverages on any of
their recreational facilities; and that the lease was originally
signed with the knowledge that alcoholic beverages were not to be sold.
Mr. Hal Roach, publisher of the Arcadia Tribune and Chairman of the
Float Committee of the Chamber of Commerce, advised the Council that
construction of the City's float in the Pasadena Tournament of Roses
Parade, cost $7,538.00, of which residents of Arcadia contributed
$6,055.00 and asked the Council to underwrite the balance.
The Council expressed its pleasure at the participation of the Arcadia
residents and congratulated the Committee and all concerned in the
effort put forth in making the City's first entry a prize winner in its
class, and stated that this proved that the people of Arcadia are
interested in Arcadia.
Councilman Phillips then moved that the Council appropriate the sum of
$1,482.29 from Council Contingency Fund to Account No. 409.28 to cover
the difference between contributions received and the amount of
construction cost of the float entered by the City of Arcadia in the
1961 Pasadena Tournament of Roses Parade. Councilman Reibold seconded
the motion which was carried on roll call vote as follows:

Discussion was held regarding the adoption of Ordinance No. 1115
inasmuch as no determination had as yet been made regarding the amount
of' credit to be given Arlinic Properties, Inc. for in-lieu parking'
spaces on Lot 38 of Tract No. 3430. It was suggested that in order to
resolve the difficulty when the plot plan is submitted the entire
parcel'including the 30' be taken into consideration and the plan
approved as though it were part of the original tract. This suggestion
met with the approval of the Council and Mr. Henry Hege, attorney for
Arlinic Properties, Inc.

The City Attorney advised that subsequent to the authorization of the
Council at the last Council meeting that the Mayor anI:! City"Clerk execute
an agreement with Arcadia Industries, Inc. for the sale of the Peck Road
properties in form submitted by the City Manager a change in one of the
paragraphs had been requested by th~ prospective purchaser.
Upon receiving approval of said change from Mr. E. O. Rodeffer, of
Arcadia Industries, Inc., who ~as in the audience, Councilman Balser
moved that the Council reaffirm its authorization that the Mayor and I
City Clerk execute the agreement for the sale of the Peck Road
properties with Arcadia Industries, Inc. in form submitted by the City
Manager, with subparagraph h, paragraph 10 thereof amended as now
submitted. Councilman Phillips seconded the motion which was carried on '
roll call vote as. follows:

Mr. E. O. Rodeffer, 863 Lynhaven Lane, LaCanada, one of the owners of
Arcadia Industries, Inc. tendered to the Council his company's check for
$20,000 as payment of the first portion of land to be deeded, and another
company check for $5,000 for engineering services which were called for
in the above agreement.
In answer to the inquiry of the City Manager, Mayor camphouse stated
that he favored the neck microphone he had been wearing on an experimental
basis the last few meetings; that it seemed to make for freer movement
and that he understood it was easier for the audience to hear. A
discussion ensued as to whether such microphones should be purchased
for all the Councilmen and staff participating in the Council meetings
and it was the consensus of the Council that it might be well to first
experiment with three or four more prior to final decision as to
whether the neck microphone should replace the desk type presently in
use.
Mayor Camphouse advised Planning Commissioner Golisch, in answer to his
request, that he would be included in the meeting of the Council regard-
ing annexation policy, so that he might pass on to the Planning Commission
the tenor of the Council in that regard.
Councilman Reibold suggested that the City Manager check the possibility
of approval of routine business permit renewals being handled by the
staff rather than by the Council as is now done in routine lot splits.
Mayor Camphouse requested the City Manager to explore,~he merits of the I
portable traffic signals which, in his opinion, were'more effective
than a police officer using a flashlight, and to submit such information
to the Council at the next Council meeting.
Mayor Camphouse appointed Councilmen Balser, Butterworth and Phillips as
a committee to work with the staff on the matter of insurance coverage
for the City, Councilman Balser to act as Chairman. Whereupon the City
Manager submitted to Councilman Balser a portfolio on insurance studies,
adding that said portfolio had to be returned by January 25, 1961.
