The City Manager announced that after due deliberation of the
Staff, it is his recommendation that the City enter into a
contract for group insurance for City Employees with the Home Life
Insurance Company on their Plan 1.
The Assistant City Attorney then explained the various phases of
the coverage of said insurance plan, which in part are as follows:
1. Covers the first $500.00 of the hospital bill for each
confinement;after that an 80/20 provision goes into effect.
2. Has a $50.00 deductible feature and co-insurance feature,
i.e. the insured accumulates $50.00 of routine medical and
doctor bills, then the insurance pays 80% of the remainder
and the insured pays 20% up to a maximum of $5000.00 per
lifetime. Any time the insured uses up $1000.00 of the
$5000.00 maximum, provided he is reinsurable, the insurance
company reinstates the full $5000.00 provision.
The $50.00 deductible pertains to each insured on a"per-year
basis. Each dependent must also accumulate $50.00 deductibe
before the 80/20 provision is effective.
3. There are certain exceptions and exclusions that the policy
does not cover, such as routine dental bills and the like.
An injury to the jaw of an insured, or if the insured has to
have teeth removed as a result of an accident, is covered
by the policy.
4. No maternity benefits or life insurance in this program.
5. The City's appropriation of $15,000.00 pays the employees'
cost 100%. The employee will have to pay for his dependents.
A poll will have to be taken to learn the number who wish
the program and there must be approximately 75% eligible.
The Council commended both the Staff and the Personnel Board on
the thorough and competent job they had done in this matter.
Councilman Jacobi moved that the City Manager be authorized and
instructed to cause the City of Arcadia to enter into Plan 1 of
Home Life Insurance Company through Clay, Batson and Otterbein, as
brokers, in accordance with their proposal submitted and explained
by the Assistant City Attorney and recommended by the City Manager,
the cost of the coverage of the City employees only to be paid by
the City.

Although the time, ~l~rw~,~ lp,r;~Sh~,J}l~~lg" oFp .~\t' ~:ppelil does not
elapse until September 5; '1958, the City'Cl"erk advised that a
petition had been presented.with twenty signatures appealing

the, decision of th~,Pl~nning'Commission and that a public hearing
'could be scheduled: ~t t~is time. Whereupon Mayor Phillips moved
that the date for said public hearing be set for October 7, 1958
at 8:00 P.M. and that the City Clerk give the required notice
thereof. Said motion seconded by Councilman Reibold and carried J
unanimously.
Planning Commission recommend~tion for approval of the tentative
map of Tract No. 24548 of. property located on Loganrita Avenue,
north of Altern Street (22 lots), subject to specified conditions.
Said conditions were outlined in the Council minutes of August 19,
1958, at which, time item ~' o.f the' 'imposed conditions was questioned,
and the matter was referred back to Staff and the Planning Commis-
'., 'j
sion for clarification of the removal of the concrete slab.
.' . ..
:.'.'.
Report of the Director of Public Works dated August 28, 1958 stated
that the subdivider ha~.adv~sed that, a condition specified by the
, .. .,. ,.., j. ()J ::J! j "'" , \. "..-' " ~ .', . . .. ., - .,
'Plimning..Commission that the rear lot line of Lot 6 be either the
. ,. II' '.
northerly prolongation. of, Lot 5 or the southerly prolongation of
Lot No.7, has been met.by'the procurement of an additional 6 feet
adjacent to Lot No. '6, and that this resolves completely all of the
conditions imposed by the Planning Commission, and that it is his
recommendation that the.Council approve tentative map of Tract No.
24548 subject to the co~d~ti~~s imposed by the Planning Commission.
..
A general discussion ensued wherein Councilman Reibold stated that
one of the reasons for sending this matter back to the Planning
Commission was that condition No.9 read: "Remove concrete slab
from lot directly west ~f proposed lot No. 6 so that a required
3-foot rear yard will be provided." That he had been present at
the Planning Commission meeting and was of the opinion that it was
their intent that the amount necessary to get the proper depth be
removed and not the rest of the slab; however, that the report of
August 28th of the Director of Public Works does not cover this
point.
'.'
Mayor Phillips stated that he also had been present at the Planning
Commission meeting and was of the opinion that they talked about
cutting three or four feet off one side and having the subdivider
repour it on the other side. He then inquired of Mr. George Forman,
a member of the Planning Commission, who was present in the
audience, as to the intent of the Planning Commission in this
regard, to which Mr. Forman replied that he thought it was their
intent to remove the necessary amount of the concrete to give proper
clearance to the line.
Councilman Reibold then moved that the Council approve Planning
Commission recommendation and approve tentative map of Tract No.
24548 subject to modification of condition 9 wherein that portion
relating to the lot directly west of proposed lot No. 6 be deleted.
The City Attorney suggested that the motion should include the words:
"To be removed entirely from the portion within the subdivision and
the rear 3 feet of it be removed from the adjoining property to
conform with the rear lot line."
The subdivider being present, addressed the Council, stating in part
that he understood the condition was to acquire 6 more feet to make
that line straight to the property on the south, which had been done.

Councilman Reibold then stated that his memory was not the same as
the subdivider's, but that he could well be right; that he under-
stood that there was to be nothing done with that part of the
concrete that remained on the original property other than to cut
it off at the property line, but that he might have read this into
it, and that part that would be in this new tract would be removed.
Mayor Phillips commented that one thing has been settled, and that
was that the line has been straightened with the six feet, according
to the report of the Director of Public Works. The subdivider stated
that there was no objection on his part to removing the slab if
Council desired it done, but that it was not his recollection as
a condition.
The City Attorney then suggested that condition No. 9 be amended I
and inquired if condition No. 11 takes care of the matter, i.e.
straightening the rear line of lot 10 by taking out the six foot jog.
Councilman Reibold moved that the tentative map of Tract No. 24548
be approved upon all conditions except No. 9 contained in the
Planning Technician's letter to the Council dated August 14, 1958
be deleted. Mayor Phillips seconded the motion and it was carried
unanimously.
Report of the Director of Public Works that the subdivision
improvements have been constructed in accordance with the plans and

of University Women and another from the Health and Sanitation
Commission, regarding the subject of mental health facilities,
Councilman Reibold stated that he thought the matters proposed
deserve the attention of the people of Arcadia but that he
questioned the propriety of the City per se to go into fund raising;
that if it did so in this instance it would have the moral obligation
to do the same in other areas that are equally beneficial.
Mayor Phillips agreed with Councilman Reibold's statement and
added that perhaps' the' project might be undertaken by one of
the service groups in the area and reiterated that he did not
think it the place of the Council to lead the way.
Councilman Reibold suggested that if any individual member of
the Health and Sanitation Commission feels he would like to play
a part in this program ~s an individual he should be encouraged
to do so, but that problems would arise if the City Manager were
to be asked to become a fund raiser.
I
Councilman Jacobi suggested that perhaps this matter could be
referred to the churches in Arcadia.
Mayor Phillips then stated that if there were no objections, he
would hold the matter over until there is a full Council present
in order to have the opinions of the absent Councilmen. This
being the consensus of the Council, Mayor Phillips ordered the
matter held over until all the Councilmen would be present.
The Los Angeles County Boundary Commission, in accordance with
Section No. 35002 of the Government Code, has notified the City
of the intention of the City of La Puente to annex certsin
uninhabited territory known as Annexation No. 11, being a small
parcel lying south of Francisquito Avenue and east of La Puente.
This annexation having no effect upon the City of Arcadia,
Mayor Phillips ordered the notice filed.
AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION
(Seidner) Mr. Saul T. Seidner, 1410 South Baldwin Avenue, addressed the
Council, inquiring when the proposed alley (east of Baldwin Avenue
il--? : and south of Duarte Road) in back of his property would be opened.
(Stogsdill)
';/ ~ '! \
The City Manager read a letter received from Mr. Seidner requesting
information as to when the alley would be put through; stating that
"the money for the widening of Baldwin Avenue has been appropriated
and that a new water main is to go down Baldwin Avenue; that co-
ordination of all work would be advisable; that there is a trarric
hazard during the racing season on this block, etc.
The Acting City Engineer advised that there was only one more
consent to be received and then the work would commence.
I
Councilman Reibold suggested that the work might start and
proceed at least up to the part of the alley where the consent
had not yet been received. He also suggested that a report on
this matter be given to the Council at the next council meeting,
to which Mayor Phillips agreed and added that Mr. Seidner be given
a schedule.
Mr. Ralph D. Stogsdill addressed the Council stating that in
reference to Councilmanic action taken July 1, 1958, granting
his requested zone change from C-l and R-l to C-2 and PR-3 on
Las Tunas Drive near Baldwin Avenue, subject to architectural
overlay with adequate restrictions to be imposed by the Planning

Commission, he felt that the restrictions so imposed by the
Planning Commission on said zone change and architectural
overlay were too stringent.
Mayor Phillips advised Mr. Stogsdill that he was a little pre-
mature in bringing this matter before the Council at this time
as they had not yet seen or read the Planning Commission's
recommendations except in press releases, but that the Council
would give the matter every consideration when it appeared before
them.

The Acting City Engineer advised that the first of the traffic
signals on Huntington Drive and Golden West Avenue should be
completed in approximately two or three weeks.
The City Manager read a list of the streets which the Engineering
Department feels should be included in the resurfacing program
to be undertaken this fall to be financed from State Gas" Tax
funds, budgeted in the 1958-59 Memorandum of Agreement, and a list
of the streets suggested to be resurfaced from County Gas Tax
funds,
He then requested the City Council to review the lists and
make suggestions as to any alterations, additions or deletions,
and added that when this has been accomplished the matter will
again be presented to the Council for final approval. Mayor
Phillips stated that this would be done.
The Acting City Engineer commented that the streets contemplated
being resurfaced under the State Gas Tax funds will use up the
$25,000.00 now allocated under the Memorandum of Agreement, and
that it is the Engineering Department's estimation that the County
Gas Tax Funds required will be approximately $5,000.00.
The City Manager advised that the City of West Covina is remodel-
ing an old building for a police station and jail, and that it is
necessary that they acquire steel for such purpose. He added
that when the new Central Fire Station is" completed and the Fire
Department moves to its new location the old building will be
demolished and the land made part of the Parking District.
He then recommended that the City present to the City of West
Covina the jail, including bars, steel walls, toilet facilities
and plumbing, on condition that it be removed at no cost to the
City of Arcadia. He commented that this move would save the City
the cost of demolishing the old building and that the small sum
that could be received for the old steel, etc. would be offset by
the savings secured through the City of West Covina paying for
the demolition cost.
Councilman Reibold moved that the Council approve the recommen-
dation of the City Manager and that the City present to the City
of West Covina its old jail, including bars, steel walls, toilet
facilities and plumbing, at no cost to the City of West Covina,
and upon condition that the City of West Covin a remove said
building at no cost to Arcadia. Said motion seconded by Council-
man Jacobi and carried unanimously.
The City Attorney commented that the property does not become
part of the Parking District but is parking as an adjunct to the
Library and to the public generally.

ADJOURNMENT
The City Attorney reported that a request had been received from
Edward R, Johnson to lease the same city owned property on Peck
Road, formerly leased to the Bentz Truck Sales Company, which
lease had been cancelled by the Council at its adjourned regular
meeting of August 26, 1958, and that Mr. Johnson desired using
the premises for the repair of trucks and the sale of truck parts.
He recommended that the Council authorize the execution of a lease
with Mr. Johnson on said property at the same rental of $65.00
per month and on condition that said premises be not used as a
junk or wrecking yard.
To Councilman Jacobi's question as to whether the said property
was fenced, and also that nothing be put out between the fence
and the so-called street, the City Attorney replied that this I
was an administrative matter; that if the lessee developed a junk
yard on the premises he would be requested to cease and desist
and upon non-compliance would be ordered off the premises.
To Mayor Phillip's query as to whether this lease contained a
short term clause he replied that all leases in this connection
contain relatively similar short term clauses as they are all
being geared to expire in 1959 at the latest.
Whereupon Mayor Phillips moved that the Council approve the"
recommendation of the City Attorney and that he be directed to
prepare a lease between the City and Edward R, Johnson for the
city owned property on Peck Road for the purpose of conducting
thereon truck repair and truck parts sales, at a monthly rental
of $65.00; said lease to be effective September 1, 1958 and
ending on December 31, 1959, and that the Mayor and City Clerk
be authorized to execute such lease. Councilman Jacobi seconded
the motion and it was carried on roll call vote as follows:
AYES: Councilmen Jacobi, Reibold, Phillips
NOES: None
ABSENT: Councilmen Balser, Camphouse
Councilman Reibold mentioned that there were numerous chuck holes
on El Monte Avenue where the wash cuts around south of Naomi
Avenue made by water from lawns running down and commented that
something should be done about this. He then commented that no
doubt this would all disappear when the full flood control program
is in effect and the water goes into the drains instead of down the
street.
Councilman Jacobi added that there was a deep chuck hole on San
Juan Avenue and was told by the Acting City Engineer that
negotiations are now pending with the Westerner Motel for the
installation of improvements which will, it is hoped, take care
of this problem and that he would have the mentioned chuck hole
checked.
I
Councilman Jacobi requested a copy of the petition in connection
to the Seimer Zone Variance mentioned earlier in the evening by
the City Clerk, and commented that there might be some petitioners
on the list that already have double houses on their own lots.
The City Clerk stated that the requested copy would be forthcoming
the following day.
Mayor Phillips requested the City Manager to take care of the
invitation of the Kings Football League inviting a representative
of the City to attend its grand opening at the Maywood City Park
on September 12, 1958.
Councilman Jacobi moved that the meeting adjourn; which motion
