Norfleet, 625 Naomi Avenue, and Clifford Goodwyn, 30 Woodland Lane. The protestants were of the op~n~on that alternate facilities should be made available; that the horseowners of Arcadia had not had sufficient time to present an organized opposition to this proposed regulation; that in view of the fact that the beautification of the entire length of Santa Anita Avenue would not be completed for five years that permission should be granted for the continued riding of horses for at least two years; that this sudden ban worked an extreme hardship on the horse owners and that a meeting with the members of Council would be appreciated. I The City Attorney advised Council that an ordinance was already on the books regulating the riding of horses on parkways, and that enforcement of same was all that was necessary - not another ordinance. Mr. Elmer E. Geisler, 2470 South Santa Anita Avenue stated that he would welcome the ban or some treatment to the center parkway of Santa Anita Avenue near Live Oak Avenue; that the dirt and dust was a real problem to him. In answer to the question if a meeting could be arranged, Mayor Dennis stated that same could be accomplished if the request emanated from a sufficiently organized group. Mayor Dennis thanked all persons appearing regarding this matter and stated that any written requests would be given consideration; that it is the responsibility of the Council to endeavor to solve the problems of the people whom they represent; that at this time the Council had taken action which would permanently take horses off Santa Anita Avenue as a safety measure and also because of the beautification program. Mayor Dennis called a five minute recess. Mr. George Battany, 1751 Alta Oaks Drive, Arcadia, addressed Council, stating that as a representative of the Plumber's Union, he was concerned with the contract award pertaining to the landscaping of Santa Anita Avenue; particularly the sprinkling system installation as far as labor wage scale was concerned. The City Attorney advised that the City's contract, as well as the specifications, called for the prevailing wage scale and that State law requires that the contractors doing business with governmental agencies pay the prevailing wage scale.

Councilman Reibold moved that Council approve the tentative map of Tract No. 24311 subject to the specified conditions and subject to the division at the center lines of 8th Avenue, 8th Street, 9th Avenue and the map line between Lots 13 and 14.
