ANDERSON AS CHIEF OF POLICE, CITY MANAGER, OR OTHERWISE, DUE TO PHYSICAL ILLNESS AND DISABILITY OCCURRING DURING SUCH EMPLOYMENT." The City Attorney stated that the resolution recites the initial employment of Neil F. Anderson as Police Chief effective February 7, 1951 continuing until his appointment as City Manager from June 7, 1956 to the present time; the illness incurred by Hr. Anderson on October 9, 1958; the claim filed by him with the Industrial Accident Commission of the State of California for determination that his illness was a compensable industrial injury under the Workmen's Compensation Laws; the hearing thus far held thereon and the continued hearing to be held; the contingent liability of the City over and above the Workmen's Compensation award, keeping in mind that he has had time off, sick leave, and the like, the applicable provisions of the Personnel Rules and Regulations of the City and the fact that it is impossible to determine at this time what award will be made and what contingent liability the City will have thereunder; the fact t~at there is a bona fide dispute between the City and Mr. Anderson as to the application of portions of the Personnel Rules and Regulations to the present condition and the desire of both Mr. Anderson and the City to settle without litigation all such disputes; the fact that there is little or no doubt that the duties of his office and the strenuousness of his efforts to perform the same diligently have contributed at least in part to his present illness and disability; the fact that the morale of the 3. 6-16-59 ',:4655 public service will be jeopardized if a public employee of many years service who has sustained serious illness and disabling injury during the course of employment is relieved of his duties without a fair settle- ment of all claims, whether just, contingent or in dispute, without the necessity of lengthy and expensive litigation to compel such payment; the fact that he has accrued other sums by way of additional sick leave and vacation pay; and finally the authorization to the Mayor and City Clerk to execute a Release, Accord and Satisfaction with Mr. Anderson and with his wife, to the extent that she has a community interest in the subject matter, for all claims of any nature arising out of his employ- ment in any capacity by the City, past, present or future, the consider- ation therefor being the sum of $7,400.00; that said Release, Accord and 1 Satisfaction shall not affect in any way Mr. Anderson's pending claim for Workmen's Compensation benefits or any offsets, credits or liens the City may have in any award which may be made to him. That upon the signing of such release, accord and satisfaction in form approved by the City Attorney, the appropriate officers are directed to execute and deliver to him a warrant in the amount of $7,400.00, less such deductions as are lawfully required, said sums to be charged to and paid out of Council Contingency Fund No. 109-19b.

Motion seconded by Councilman Balser and carried on roll call vote as follows: AYES: Councilmen Balser, Camphouse, Jacobi, Phillips, Reibold NOES: None ABSENT: None Mayor Reibo1d then stated that it being difficult to find words to express the things you mean and feel, that he had taken the liberty of writing the following thoughts: "Some 200 years ago Lord Chesterfield, an English Statesman and authority on man's conduct, said, 'Whatever is worth while doing at all, is worth doing well.' Tonight, as we look back ac~oss the years during which Neil Anderson has served the City of Arcadia, I believe we can say without fear of contradiction that Lord Chesterfield's statement was descriptive of Mr. Anderson's conduc t. "During his service to the city he has seen the completion of the City Hall's addition .....the design and construction of an entirely new police faci1ity.....the erection of two new fire stations.....and the culmination of the first phase of our beautification program. These improvements we can all look upon with pride, and Mr. Anderson can view with personal satisfaction. 1 "During his tenure as City Manager he has had occasion and appoint three department heads.....the Director of Works.....the Chief of Po1ice.....and the Fire Chief. these men has demonstrated outstanding ability in his specialized field. We are happy that they are on our Arcadia. to select Public Each of , respectiv.e team in "We all recall the Council meeting in October when Mr. Anderson 4. 6-16- 59 1 RECESS BID AWARD (Improvement Woodruff Ave.) ;}' " RESOLUTION No. 3147 !NDEXED 1 RESOLUTION No. 3139 INDEXED :4656 was taken ill. We all hoped, and each in our own way prayed, that hia recovery would be speedy and complete. When this did not occur to the extent we had looked forward to, and his sick leave had run out, we granted him three months leave with pay with the expectation that this additional time would permit him to regain his strength to the point where he could again work in a suatained manner in the service of the city. "Unfortunately that which we desired has not occurred. Mr. Anderson's health, while much improved, is not such as to permit the strain and long hours demanded. Therefore, it is with regret that we have arrived by mutual agreement at this point tonight." Each of the Councilmen then stated that there was not much that could be added to the fine feelings expressed by Mayor Reibold; that they all wished Mr. Anderson speedy recovery and Councilman Phillips added that personally, if he could be of any assistance to Mr. Anderson's claim for disability with the State Industrial Accident Commission hearing to feel free to call upon h1m. Mr. Anderson sa1d that there 1S not much a person can say at a time like this except: "Thank you gentlemen". Mayor Reibo1d declared a five minute recess. The Director of Public Works reported that of the five bids received and publicly opened earlier that evening relative to the improvement of Woodruff Avenue and Woodruff Place, pursuant to the 1911 Act, Aristo Construction Company was the low bidder at $5,440,00; that the Engineer's estimate had been $5,498.00, and that he recommended that the proper resolution be presented to the City Council by the City Attorney awarding a contract to Aristo Construction Company for this work. Whereupon the City Attorney presented, explained the content and read the title of R.eso1ution No. 3147, entitled: "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CIty OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, AWARDING CONTRACT TO IMPROVE WOODRUFF AVENUE AND WOODRUFF PLACE IN THE CITY, IN ACCORDANCE WITH RESOLUTION OF INTENTION NO. 3127."

Motion seconded by Councilman Balser and carried on roll call vote as follows: AYES: Councilmen Balser, Camphouse, Jacobi. Phillips, Reibo1d NOES: None ABSENT: None Councilman Phillips stressed the fact that it is the thinking of the 1 Council that Mr. Cook's appointment at this time is in the nature of an interim appointment, since the Charter makes no provision for an "Acting Manager", and that a thorough search will be made for candidates for the position of City Manager. He added that he hoped Mr. Cook will be a candidate. He then moved that Resolution No. 3139 be adopted.

Motion seconded by Councilman Jacobi. Councilman Camphouse stated that before a roll call is taken he wished to advise that after giving the matter additional thought he had reached the conclusion previously expressed by Councilman Balser, that it would be beneficial to the community to insert in the ordinance a provision for a cut-off date as to future subdivisions. In the general discussion that ensued Mayor Reibold expressed the opinion that he was opposed to a cut-off date because he felt that if a property owner meets certain criteria he should be able to exercise his rights at any time. Councilman Balser commented that his thought had been that this might insure a more equitable distribution of land.

A general discussion was held on this matter. during which time the City Clerk advised that no written protests had been received and the Director of Public Works displayed a map of the area in question, explaining that the subject property was originally in 1947 sold as a single 110 foot lot; that this was prior to City regulations on lot size; that this lot was split-into two 55 foot lots about the time sewers were being installed in Arcadia and two sewer laterals were installed at this property. Councilman camphouse commented that the receipt of two tax bills and the 1 installation of two sewer laterals does not necessarily prove that these are two separate lots as many pieces of property in Arcadia receive two tax bills and have more than one sewer lateral. At his request. Mr. Edward F. Stout of the Planning Commission explained that the other members of the Planning Commission agreed' that unusual circumstances applied in this matter in that the applicants ostensibly thought they had two lots and had been planning for some years to build a new home; that this lot if developed with a nice home would be beneficial to the surrounding property; that applicant's neighbors testified in applicants' favor. Councilman Phillips stated that in his opinion the lot is too small for a house in keeping with the standards of Arcadia; that according to information it was purchased originally as one 110 foot lot and that this in effect is a lot split as well as a request to build a house on a sub- standard lot, which would indicate that there are two problems involved. Mayor Reibold rep1~ed that th~s would become a lot split only if the applicants attempted to sell the other half. At Mayor Reibold's request Mr. Earl H. Madinger. one of the applicants, addressed the Council, stating that 11 years ago when he purchased this property it was with the understanding that these were two lots and with the express purpose of eventually building on the other lot; that their' belief was substantiated by the fact that they received two tax bills and that two sewer laterals were installed; that if they are not permitted to build on the subject lot they can never truthfully sell it and that they have complied with all the requests of the Planning Commission as to size of house, setbacks, etc. Mayor Reibold, Councilmen Jacobi and Balser stated in part that in their opinion the unusual circumstances surrounding this particular case tended to make them feel that in view of the fact that applicants' neighbors favor the construction; and that a house on this lot would improve the appearance of the neighborhood, it would be better in this particular instance to bend in the direction of being lenient. Councilman Jacobi then moved that Council accept the recommendation of 1 the Planning Commission and instruct the City Attorney to present a resolution authorizing the construction of an additional dwelling at 910 South Fourth Avenue. Councilman Balser seconded the motion and ~t was carried on roll call vote as follows: AYES: Councilmen Balser, Jacobi, Reibo1d NOES: Councilmen Camphouse, Phillips ABSENT: None The City Attorney presented, discussed and explained the content of Resolution No. 3144, entitled: "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, GRANTING A VARIANCE TO PERMIT THE CONSTRUCTION OF AN ADDITIONAL DWELLING."
