from the January 5 meeting to this date. It was submitted by staff
that the applicant's attorney had requested another continuation
until March 2 to enable his client sufficient time to explore pos-
sible development alternatives.

dict Canyon, Beverly Hills, asked the Council to make a ruling to
maintain the standards of Chicago Park Track by denyinQ this appeal

that the matter be continued to March 2. Discussion ensued with
Councilman Haltom commenting in part that the appeal relating to
modifications has nothing to do with the negotiations to which Mr.

attorney should have been present. Councilman Sae1id said in part
that he does not feel the standards for the area should be relaxed ..

The Water Manager presented his report on the latest TCE samples taken
from the Longden Wells and said in part that some PCE is also shown in
this latest test. It was noted that a removal plant would consist of
2 units capable of treating 5000 gallons per minute ... estimated cost
for the 2 units is $175,000. This information has been obtained from
manufacturers of this type of equipment ... this of course is prelimi-
nary as no design work has been done for this particular installation
or water quality. Any necessary additional units would probably cost
$80,000 each. The retention of a consultant was recommended with staff
continuing to monitor levels on a regular basis.

Councilman Saelid observed as follows:
"We are al1 saddened to learn of the death of Helen Hauser who served
as part of the City family on the Arcadia Beautiful Commission for a
number of years. She passed away Saturday, January 16 after a lengthy
battle with cancer. Her services were held today. Her ear1y career was
in the field of Home Economics, receiving her Master's Degree from USC.-
She taught classes in Home Economics for Southern Counties Gas Company
for several years and also taught classes at Purdue University, Los
Angeles City College and Cal State LA. She began her career in real
estate in the early 1960's and in 1974 she opened her own office -
Helen Hauser Gallery of Homes. She maintained offices in Arcadia and
San Marino. Helen was always active in her professional organizations -
after serving on numerous committees for the Arcadia Board of Realtors -
she served as President in 1975 - she was named Salesman of the Year in
1972 and Rea1tor of the Year in 1975. She served on many committees of
the California Association of Realtors since 1974 and was named Honorary
Director of Life of that organization. She was also a Regional Director
for the California Association of Realtors. She was Director of the
National Association of Realtors from ~980 through 1981. At various times
Helen served on the Women's Auxiliary at the Arcadia Methodist Hospital
and the Huntington Memorial Hospital. She found time to be active in
many other community origanizations as well and served also on the Board I
of Directors of the Arcadia Tournament of Roses Association. She is sur-
vived by her husband James, daughter Kathryn Woodson of Darrien, Connec-
ticut, son Charles Hauser ... 3 grandchildren, her mother. and a brother.
I, personally, and I think most of us here personally knew Helen. We
knew Helen to be a very dynamic, impressive, hard working gal once she
took on a project - you could assure yourself it was going to be done
thoroughly well. It is a great loss to the City - she loved the City -
she gave a lot of her life to the City and it's a loss to us. I think
we all express our sympathies to her family. This is one of those sad-
nesses that comes to all of us.

Hauser.
