David Lee, 1138 Fairview Avenue, spoke at length to the numerous
increases in his monthly rent over the past five or six years -
from $295 to $480; that this affects all of the other tenants in
his apartment building who are widows and over 65. He asked the
City Council to do everything within its power to help those in
such situations. Mr, Lee also referred to Santa Monica and Los
Angeles which have rental control regulations. Mayor Margett
said in part that the City Council is cognizant of the escalation
of rent values in the City. The Council as of now has not gone
on record as approving any rent controls. It has taken into con-
sideration senior citizen housing and asked Mr. Lee if he had
any suggestions.
Mr. Lee suggested the appointment of an ad hoc committee perhaps with I
two or three local businessmen. Mr. Gilb will speak with some of the
members of the League of California Cities to ascertain what other cities
are doing with the problem.

what the costs are.

Council received and considered the report and recommendation
relating to the improvement of the east end of Oakglen Avenue.
It presently terminates in a dead end which came about from the
development of a subdivision to the east. A plan showing the
roadway in the adjacent slopes to the east and also the erosion
control planting and shrubbery that will in the future improve the
appearance of the slope as well a8 screening the concrete toe drain
which intercepts and conveys drainage away from and defends adjoining
properties from possible erosion due to heavy rains. Estimated
cost of the work is $2500 with city forces doing the work at a time
it would not interfere with the remaining work which must be accomplished
by the developer of the subdivision. The Director felt that the work
would be acceptable to the residents in the immediate area as it is the
only thing which could be done.
Councilman Saelid MOVED to approve the recommendation of staff and that
the residents in the area be so notified. Motion seconded by Councilman
Pellegrino and carried on roll call vote as follows:

SESSION
ADJOURNMENT
24:9935
Mayor Hargett brought up the subject of the fire dispatch center
which has been considered by the City Council snd as of this
date it was felt thst if it could be located within the City
they might be inclined to reconsider its decision not to
participste.
Fire Chief Gardner responded to questions and said in part that
there are specific areas where the efficiency could be improved.
There would be two dispatchers on duty 24 hours a day instead
of one as at present. Also the paramedic program would be
expedited as the dispatcher on duty would know the status and
location of all equipment and would automatically dispatch.
That also there would be a constant status for all four cities.
He felt it would be a savings to all cities as a reduction of
one employee in the departments could be made, He continued
in part that the other three Fire Chiefs have indicated that
regardless of the location they are in favor of the concept.
I
It was brought out that Arcadia has spent a great deal on seeing
that the fire department has the best equipment for its safety
services and that the overiding issue should be for the safety
of the community although a problem of another community could
become a problem involving Arcadia. It was then MOVED by
Councilman Pellegrino, seconded by Councilman Gilb and carried
on roll call vote as follows that the City Council reconsider
the concept of a Joint Fire Dispatch Center if it would be
located in Arcadia.
