In answer to various questions, he advised in substance that he is present- ly operating under contract with Cypress School District; has recently been awarded a contract with the Santa Ana School District; that his buses have been, lIIlIong others, used by the Holy Angels School of Arcadia; that he had been approached by the Arcadia Recreation Department regarding the use of his buses for charter purposes; that his equipment consists of 29 buses which meet all standards set down by the State Board of Education and the California Highway Patrol. He also mentioned that buses to be used in Arcadia would be ',kept in a local service station at a location properly zoned for such purpose and serviced there by his service truck. To Councilman Reibold's reminder, of a school bus accident in Arcadia approximately a year ago at which time a child was fatally injured, the applicant advised that the driver of that bus had worked for his company at one time but had been limited to driving small equipment; that since I the accident the State Motor Vehicle Department requires that chauffeurs' licenses indicate the weight of vehicle the driver may operate.

I H: . The City Clerk submitted to the Council a copy of the coupon book proposed to be used by the applicants. if gol ,iINDEXED. To Mayor Balser's inquiry as to whether anyone desired to address the Council relative to the subject matter, Mr. Melvin Blons, one of the applicants, addressed the Council, explaining his company's method of operation; that they have a money-back guarantee; the buyer pays $5.95 for the book which contains various free services; there is no charge to the merchant; the sponsoring agency, if any, receives 50C of the~r net profit of $2,25; that they have 28 employees, six residing in Arcadia, and that their office is in Sierra Madre, He added that his company has recently completed an operation, similar to the 'one proposed in Arcadia, "in South Pasadena under the sponsorship of the South Pasadena Junior Chamber of Commerce where they sold 2500 books. That they prefer to be and usually are sponsored by a local Chamber of Commerce; that presently they have no sponsor in Arcadia but hope to have the Junior Chamber of Commerce and suggested that the granting of the requested business permit be contingent upon their securing a sponsor. The City Manager reminded the Council of the City's unfortunate experience a few years ago with a similar operation. That in November of 1960 the Council had denied a request for a similar solicitation plan based in part upon the fact that there is no control over the number of books sold which could result in financial hardship to the merchant. That the Arcadia Chamber of Commerce had considered cosponsorship with the Junior Chamber of Commerce of a similar program between the merchants of the community and the Junior and Senior Chamber of Commerce, fi I") '-' ( . I, Mr. H. Wentworth, Manager of the Arcadia Chamber of Commerce, then addressed the Council and stated in part that the Chamber of Commerce as a general policy oppose this particular type of operation in that it has been their judgment that there should be complete local control by persons responsible to the Council. He added that he had spoken with the applicant but had not as yet verified his statements, Mr. Blons again addressed the Council, adding that his ,company has operated successfully in both Downey and Whittier under their Chambers of Commerce; that a neighboring city had attempted such an operation without his assist- ance and had lost $1200; that there are not 25 people in the country who can successfully or properly promote this type of operation; that he would be willing to be sponsored by the Arcadia Chamber of Commerce on a commission basis similar to that offered the Junior Chamber of Commerce, and that in his opinion it is a better promotion with local' sponsorship, with whom funds are left after they are gone to take care of any refunds. ,! \ . At the suggestion of the City Manager Councilman Reibold moved that the hearing be continued to the' June '6, 1961 Council meeting to enable the Chamber of Commerce or some other local group to indicate their willingness to participate in this promotion, Councilman'Camphouse seconded the motion which was carried'unanimously. ~ )- 3, 5- 2-61 TRACT No. 26055 (Final) ~' ~- REPORT OF INSURANCE COMMITTEE ~ ~ ~ ( , VACATED OLD LIBRARY BUILDING ~ A~ 13:5334 Northerly extension of Greenfield Avenue, south of Duarte Road.
