Councilman Jacobi moved that the minutes of the regular meeting of
August 5, 1958, as submitted in writing, be approved. Councilman
Balser seconded the motion and it was carried unanimously
Mayor Phillips declared the hearing open on the application of
Marvin Charles Jones, 14575 Valley Vista Blvd., Sherman Oaks, for a
business permit to install five skill game machines at the Santa
Anita Bowling Alley, 176 Las Tunas Boulevard.
The City Clerk advised that no communications had been received on
the matter. Mayor Phillips then inquired if anyone in the audience
wished to be heard in favor of the granting of the requested permit.
Mr. Marvin Charles Jones, the applicant, addressed the Council,
stating in part that he was the sole proprietor of the Jones Music
Company, 12235 Ventura Blvd., Studio City, California, and that he
had been asked by the owners of the Santa Anita Bowling Alley to
install five skill games at 176 Las Tunas Boulevard. He displayed
brochures showing the types of amusement games desired and commented ., ,
that these machines were used in bowling alleys primarily to idle
away the time while waiting for alleys and also by youngsters while
waiting for their parents using the alleys.
In answer to questions asked of him by the Councilmen, he stated
that the machines would be placed in the main concourse of the
bowling alley, which is closest to the west and east side of the
building; that he has been operating in Los Angeles County for
approximately a year and a half, but that the only machine his
company has in this area is a jute box at the miniature golf course
at 600 Las Tunas Drive; that machines are leased from his company
on a percentage basis, with the lessee supplying the space and
electricity.
Mayor Phillips then asked if anyone in the audience wished to speak
in opposition to the application. No one desiring to speak,
Councilman Reibold moved that the hearing be closed. Councilman
Jacobi seconded the motion and it was carried unanimously.
Councilman Reibold commented that the applicant's machines seem to
be a little different than the type of games heretofore brought
before the Council and that it would be his suggestion to give the
matter further thought and study, and also would like to have a
report from the staff. He thereupon moved that the matter be held
over for further study and report from staff and placed on agenda
for the next regular Council meeting. Councilman Camphouse
seconded the motion and it was carried unanimously.

HEARING

Mayor Phillips declared the hearing open on Planning Commission
Resolution No. 301, recommending that the business of a roller
skating rink be classified as a special use.
The City Attorney commented that the applicant had asked for a
classification as to the proper zone for a roller skating rink;
that as a result of the public interest shown, the Planning
Commission had'instituted the within proceedings culminating in
its Resolution No, 301,
Mayor Phillips asked if anyone in the audience desired to be heard
against said recommendation, No one desiring to speak, Councilman
Balser moved that the hearing be closed, Councilman Reibold seconded
the motion and it was carried unanimously.

Councilman Balser then moved that the Council accept the recommendation
of the Planning Commission and instruct the City Attorney to prepare
the proper ordinance to classify the business of roller skating rink
as a special use. Councilman Jacobi seconded the motion and it was
carried unanimously.
Mayor Phillips declared the hearing open on Planning Commission
Resolution No, 299 recommending change of zone from R-l to R-3 on
Duarte Road between Holly Avenue and the commercial zone near
.Baldwin Avenue.
The City Clerk read communications from Carl Pearson, 427 West Duarte
Road and Lawrence A, Beckstrom, 445 West Duarte Road, stating in
part 'that they were not opposed to the street being cut through the
rear of the lots on West Duarte and Fairview from LaCadena to Holly
Avenue, but that this should not be contingent on property on West
Duarte Road, west of Holly Avenue being rezoned R-3; that rezoning
had been accomplished in the immediate vicinity without restrictions
and that they favored the R-3 rezoning for the section in question
but without restrictions,
Mayor Phillips inquired if anyone in the audience wished to speak
in favor of the Planning Commission recommendation.
Mr, James H Sorg, 455 West Duarte Road, addressed the Council,
stating in part that he had originally submitted the application
for the R-3 rezoning, which application had been signed by all .
persons involved in the area. He added that he felt the R-3
zoning should be granted without any restrictions as to the development
of a street through either side of Duarte Road; that the lots are '
large and can be put to good use; that in his opinion the area is
no longer desirable as a residential area for single homes or single
units, both because of its age and the fact that Duarte Road has
become a major thoroughfare,
I
The City Engineer then displayed a map of the area, explaining
the situation. He also commented that the Planning Commission
recognizes that all the rezoning could not occur at one time and
that it might be advantageous for the property owners to get together
and discuss each individual problem.
Mayor Phillips then inquired if anyone in the audience wished to
speak in opposition to the Planning Commission recommendation.
Mr, Henry H, Hege, 664 West Duarte Road, Attorney at Law, addressed
the Council, stating in part that he represented six of the eight
lot owners in the area on the south side of Duarte Road lying
between the two churches (400 West Duarte Road to 412 West Duarte
Road); that while his clients were not opposed to the recommended
rezoning, they were opposed to the restriction of a street through
the property as a contingency, as they felt the street would cut

the size of their lots to a mlnlmum, causing loss of value for
commercial purposes, as well as imposing a heavy burden of expense
on the property owners, particularly a Mr. F, M. Jolly of 488
Duarte Road.
Councilman Balser commented that he thought rezoning in this area
at this time was a little premature and Councilman Camphouse
agreed, stating however, that minimum size lots could be
advantageously used commercially as he had personally done so,
Mr, W. H, Stevens addressed the Council, stating in part that he
owned lot 4 in tract 8487 and that it was his understanding that
the contemplated rezoning included lots 1, 2, 3 and 4 of said
tract; also that he owned 70 feet of lot 5 with access from Lovell
Avenue. That if the rezoning were put into effect it would mean
that he would be zoned R-l on the 70 feet in back of his property
with R-3 zoning in front.
No one else desiring to be heard Councilman Camphouse moved that
the hearing be closed, Councilman Reibold seconded the motion
and it was carried unanimously,
Councilman Camphouse queried if the entire recommendation came
as one package, to which the City Attorney replied that the
recommendation from the Planning Commission comes in one
resolution but that they treat each segment as a aeparate
subject capable of being handled independently from the others.
A general discussion ensued and it was the consensus that the
matter should not be decided at this time but should be given
further study and that it might be advantageous for the residents
concerned, the Council, Planning Commission and the Staff to give
the matter further consideration.
Councilman Camphouse then moved that the matter be taken under
advisement for further study, which motion was seconded by
Councilman Balser and carried unanimously,

budget, Water Reserve and Depreciation Fund, Major Projects, Item 3.
Councilman Jacobi moved that the Council accept the recommendation
of the City Manager and Water Superintendent; that the plans and
specifications for the installation of cast iron water main in
Baldwin Avenue from Duarte Road to Palm Avenue be approved as
submitted; that the City Clerk be authorized to call for bids for
the installation of cast iron water main in Baldwin Avenue from

Recommendation of Director of Public Works that the City Council
authorize the execution of a lease between the City and Raymond Bahn
of 8602 East Garibaldi, San Gabriel, California, for land adjacent to
the stone yard on Peck Road for the purpose of cutting, splitting and
storage of wood, at a rental of $50.00 per month; said lease to be
effective upon date of execution and ending on the 31st day of
December, 1959.
Councilman Balser moved that the Council accept the recommendation of
the Director of Public Works and direct the City Attorney to prepare
a lease between the City and Raymond Bahn, to be effective upon date of
execution and ending on the 31st day of December, 1959, at a monthly
rental of $50.00, for the purpose of conducting thereon the cutting,
spliting, storage and sale of firewood, and that the Mayor and City
Clerk be authorized to execute such lease. Councilman Camphouse
seconded the motion and it Was carried unanimously.
The City Attorney commented that in connection with the Raymond Bahn
lease, there are two other leases on the Peck Road property that will'
have to be modified because the legal description of the properties
leased do not conform to the boundaries created by the Bahn lease.
It was pointed out that due to the changing operations of Century Rock
it would frequently require the adjusting of the boundaries of the
properties leased in the Peck Road section.
The City Engineez recommended the adjustment of the legal description
"!..!-~-I of_the ,'J. L. Farnu;"lease to conform to the new legal description
~,~---and since the property is reduced in size the monthly rental should
be reduced from $75.00 to $65.00 per month; also, the lease of
115" .:l(Joe L. Bentz should have the legal description modified at no
. -r:~i~rea5e or decrease in rental or other terms and conditions.

approximately 45 days to 'appraise its operation and analyze future

to be placed in the Police Department laboratory and operated by
police technicians; that in conjunction with this camera it will
be necessary to purchase a stripping table for the final preparation
of negatives; also the purchase of a paper drill, paper cutter and

Board of Supervisors had recently placed some charter amendments
on the November ballot. No action taken.
The City Attorney commented that as yet the Los Angeles County
Auditor had not transmitted the assessed valuation figures of
the City of Arcadia but that he had been advised by the City Clerk
that they will be available by August 25th and that it will be
advisable for the Council to adjourn to some night of the week
of August 25th for the purpose of adopting an ordinance fixing
the amount of money to be raised for taxation and a resolution
or ordinance fixing the tax rate.
Councilman Balser commented that he had received a letter regarding
Ordinance No. 837 passed in 1951 wherein the writer of the letter
felt that said ordinance was discriminatory, and proceeded to read
the following part of said ordinance:
I
"SECTION 8(c): It shall be unlawful for any person to
keep or maintain any animal, or animals, other than
household pets, rabbits, poultry and domestic fowls,
within 100 feet of any residence or dwelling house in use
or occupied by any human being, other than the residence
or dwelling house of the person keeping or maintaining
such animal or animals, 'or within 75 feet of any public
street or sidewalk in said City, provided however, that
the construction or occupancy of a new dwelling within
100 feet of a permanent structure exclusive of fences and
corrals in which a horse has been continuously or
customarily kept for a period of six (6) months prior to the
construction or occupancy of such dwelling shall not require
the removal of such permanent structure nor prevent the
continued maintenance of a horse or horses therein, provided
that such permanent structure shall have been constructed
with reference to lot lines in accordance with the laws of
the City of Arcadia applicable at the time of such
construction."
He added that he was inclined to agree with the writer in that he
did not think the intent of the ordinance was to prohibit people
from keeping horses 75 feet from the street on a corner lot and
suggested that the ordinance be amended to cover that feature.
The City Attorney stated that there is no ambiguity in the
ordinance as written but that the ordinance could be amended
to provide that where the lot does face a side street, the
prohibition would not apply to the side street, in which event the
Council might want to require that a block wall fence be erected
along the side street.
Councilman Reibold thought this was something that should be kept
in mind and discussed further and Councilman Balser suggested it
be taken up at the next meeting.
I
Mayor Phillips requested the City Attorney to prepare a
resolution of appreciation to Sheriff Eugene Biscailuz to be
presented to him at the testimonial banquet to be given in his
honor by the Los Angeles Press Club on October 22, 1958.
Mayor Phillips reported that the Auditing Committee, composed
of Councilman Camphouse and himself, had met with Lybrand, Ross
Bros., and Montgomery, the City's external auditors. Discussions
were held on the form and format of the audit report. He stated
that in the past the City has had a controller's report, which
had been a separate and complete document of the Controller;

that previous auditing firms have repeated about half of the
schedules in the Controller's report, i.e. the balance sheet, profit
and loss statement, if any, the expenditure statement for the City,
etc.; that it is the recommendation of this auditing firm that the
City proceed with the usual and customary practice of the
Controller's fiscal report; that this will save the writing and
duplicating of the balance sheet and a number of the statements
that will be identical in this report; then incorporate their
comments, if any, in a communication directed to the Council.
Mayor Phillips further stated that Councilman Camphouse and he
feel that this is a good practice and one that is used by
practically every concern. He then moved that the City Manager
work with the Controller and the auditors in implementing this
form of submission of the pro forma type of auditor's report,
and that their communication be directed to the Council.
Councilman Reibold asked the City Attorney if this is permissible
under the City Charter, Section 1115 (Independent Audit). The
City Attorney advised that the audit must be independent; that
their proposal envisages only the placing into the audit report
such pages of the controller's audit as are useable and approved
by them; that this would not run contrary to the Charter if the
Controller would make the report and the independent auditor would
insert fifteen or twenty pages thereof in their report. The
figures to which they would certify would be arrived at by them
independently, even though the mechanical reproduction of certain
printed pages may have been made by the City Staff.
Mayor Phillips added that in his opinion an audit is not a
report per se; that an audit is the physical test checking of
the year's business and the reporting of the certification that
the figures are correct or substantially correct, with the
minimum of errors, etc.
Councilman Reibold then seconded the motion made by Mayor Phillips
and it was unanimously carried.
Request of Mayor Phillips to attend th~ American Municipal Congress
for Mayors, Miami, Florida September 10 to l3, 1958 inclusive;
tn~c funds for expenses have been provided in the current budget.
Motion was made by Councilman Camphouse that Mayor Phillips be
authorized to attend the American Municipal Congress for Mayors
in Miami, Florida, September 10 to 13, 1958 inclusive, at a total
cost not to exceed the funds budgeted for that purpose, expenditures
to be substantiated by an itemized expense account upon his return.
